Jeremy Clarkson plots revenge on Kaleb Cooper after shock U-turn on Diddly Squat Farm decision
JEREMY Clarkson is plotting revenge on co-star Kaleb Cooper while making a major farming U-turn.
Prime Video series Clarkson's Farm follows Jeremy's exploits running Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotswolds.
At the start of his farming journey, Jeremy had reared a flock of sheep but gave them up after just 12 months.
He handed the flock to a local shepherd - vowing to never take on sheep again.
All the while, more experienced Kaleb - who is not fond of sheep - said to the motoring journalist: "I told you so."
In his latest column for Jeremy shared how he's planning to get one over on his co-star.

He penned: "Last month, I bought a small shoulder of lamb and it cost £27.
"So I looked into the market, found that lamb prices are quite high at the moment and, much to Kaleb’s disgust, immediately bought a new flock of my own."
Continuing, Jeremy explained how his new flock were "EasyCare sheep".
Developed by late Anglesey farmer Iolo Owen, this is a breed intended for low-input farming.
Meanwhile, Jeremy was advised against putting cows in a field where EasyCare sheep have been.
This is because the cows may eat discarded wool, which can have negative effects on their stomachs.
However, he's "certain" that an unwitting Kaleb is unaware of this fact.
The Grand Tour alum added: "When the sheep move on from their field and he puts the shorthorn (cows) in there, I can pull an incredulous face and wonder out loud how he can call himself a farmer if he didn't know that.
"It'll be my first ever farming win."
As Jeremy noted, fans may wonder if he'd played his hand by writing openly about his plan.
