Clarkson’s Farm star Kaleb Cooper has left fans stunned with his latest venture – which saw him leave the country despite previously saying he didn’t “see the point”.
The Diddly Squat farm manager has made it very clear in previous interviews and episodes of the hit Amazon series that he didn’t see himself ever leaving Oxfordshire – even for a holiday.
Waking up in Scotland on his tour felt like a huge milestone for the star, as he told The Times: “I felt lost, I’m so stuck in my old routine,” adding that he likes to be “where he knows how everything works”.
The father of two has also previously admitted that he has never owned a passport and had never even travelled by train, bus, or taxi.
Speaking to Virgin Radio UK, he confessed: “I’ve never been on a train. Never been on a bus. Never been in a taxi—swear on my life… I’ve never been on a boat.”
During the National Television Awards, Cooper admitted that while he could see himself on I’m A Celeb one day, but there was one major hurdle.
The star has been devoted to his life on the farm since he was 13
“I’ve still got to get a passport. I haven’t got a passport yet,” he revealed in September, something which has ruled him out of potential reality TV opportunities in the past.
However, the star has left his fans and his co-star Jeremy Clarkson stunned with his latest adventure to Bruges, Belgium.
Clarkson revealed the news on his Instagram with a picture of Cooper posing next to a canal and captioned the post: “Wonders have ceased. It’s abroad.”
Fans of the pair were equally as shocked by his trip abroad, as one teased: “The great migration. A once-in-a-lifetime event.”
“Kaleb is going to go into anaphylactic shock,” another joked before someone else asked: “Has he got lost?”
A fourth quipped: “How drunk did someone need him to get before putting forward this idea?”
“YOU’RE IN BRUGES!! Welcome,” a thrilled fan expressed before a sixth wrote: “How did ‘it’ get there? is ‘it’ lost?” (sic)
Cooper’s inexperience when travelling isn’t the only thing he needs to explore more of, as he previously revealed he accidentally snubbed David Beckham after failing to recognise who he was.
Sitting down with Capital Breakfast hosts Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby last year, he said: “I didn’t really watch much TV, or, you know, go on Instagram too much.
“So I don’t really understand and know any of these celebrities when they come up to me and go, ‘Oh hey Kaleb, can I have a picture?’ And so on.”
The star admitted he didn’t see the point of going abroad
He went on to reveal that Beckham paid a visit to the famous Diddly Squat Farm, Clarkson asked if he wanted to come and meet the sports legend, leaving Cooper to simply reply: “Who?”
Cooper added: ‘Yeah. He was at the farm, and I just walked past, and he was there. And Jeremy was like, ‘Come and see David.’ And I was like, ‘David who?’ And yeah, David Beckham.”
