Kaleb Cooper, the breakout star from Clarkson's Farm, has candidly shared his experiences from his national theatre tour, The World According to Kaleb, including a particular incident that led to a "meltdown". Ahead of a special performance set to hit Prime Video on 29 November, Kaleb opened up about the highs and lows of his touring life.
The farmer-turned-celebrity's sell-out tour was a platform for him to express his thoughts on farming and various other subjects. Reflecting on the experience, he expressed immense gratitude: "I feel so lucky to have gone on a brilliant theatre tour and the first farmer to be able to say that! I met some amazing people and had such a laugh with everyone who came along. Now being able to share this with people watching Prime Video, means farming will be on an even bigger stage. I'm really looking forward to bringing all the farming fun and highlighting important issues affecting the agricultural industry - to people at home," Kaleb enthused.
Despite the excitement, the tour wasn't without its difficulties. Kaleb faced the challenge of extensive travel and time away from home, which took some getting used to.
He admitted that while the tour has made him more "comfortable" with being on the road, there was one particular event that left him thoroughly "freaked out".
"I'm a little bit more comfortable in terms of travel and I did love meeting lots of farmers around the UK. You learn so much stuff, for example, I learned how onions are grown! And I went to goat farms where they milk goats, make cheese. It's definitely given me a morale boost I can do it, Kaleb! " he said, reports Gloucestershire Live.
Kaleb added: "I did have one meltdown, in Manchester, though. By that point the tour bus was my comfort zone. I knew I could open the door and be straight outside.
"But there, they put me in a hotel on the 50th floor and when I opened my door I was in a narrow corridor and it freaked me out. So I ended up going out and sitting outside from 5am, just knowing that I could get out and away if I needed to."

Speaking about the new Prime Video release, the farmer added: "I feel incredibly lucky to be able to talk about farming on stage around the country, and now with my own special show on Prime Video.
"Everything I've done since being involved in Clarkson's Farm has been to draw attention to farming, to share what it's really like in the industry and really get agriculture talked about as much as possible."
