“2022 has been an amazing year. This definitely tops it off. I honestly can't wait for 2023 and all the following years after that.

Back in November, Kaleb revealed he and his girlfriend Taya are expecting a baby.
The dad-to-be said the tot is due next June.
It will be the couple’s second following son Oscar’s arrival in March last year.
Straight-talking farmer Kaleb, whose no-nonsense approach to Clarkson’s schemes has won him admirers, told The Sun: “I don’t know if I feel nervous or excited.
"I have always wanted to be a younger dad and I have plenty of experience with kids having to put up with Jeremy every day.
“Oscar is already better at farming than Jeremy I’m sure of it!”
He and Taya, also 24, told their parents the good news after her 12-week scan.
Kaleb, of Chipping Norton, Oxon, said: “Taya was very excited but I said, ‘Crap, I could have timed that better’.
I’m going to be really busy next June — it’s coming into summer which is peak hay-making season.”
He added: “My next goal is to bring my small little family to my own farm.
“I’m doing all I can to try to get that. Your dreams come true when you work hard and you’re passionate about something.”
The farmer has won a legion of fans since making his debut on Jeremy Clarkson's last year.
Kaleb was brought in to help a hapless Jeremy learn how to run his Oxfordshire farm himself, having had years of experience already under his belt despite his young age.
