Clarkson’s Farm star Kaleb Cooper has revealed he is on a new health kick after a received a message in a dream.
Jeremy Clarkson’s right-hand man has lost almost a stone after starting his new diet.
Kaleb’s new lifestyle comes just a week after the former Top Gear host, 64, revealed he had been just days away from death after suffering a heart attack.
Kaleb, 26, explained that unlike his boss, who is now leading a healthier life, he wasn’t doing it for health reasons.
He explained in an interview with The Sun he had had a realisation after a vivid dream.

Kaleb has now lost six kilos and has managed to stick to his new diet, only having the occasional ‘cheat day’ (pictured September 2024)
He said: ‘I’m on a no-sugar thing, and it’s all because I had this dream. I did and didn’t understand the dream, but I knew I had to quit sugar.
‘I went to tell Taya [his partner] and she thought I wouldn’t do it.’
Kaleb has now lost six kilos and has managed to stick to his new diet, only having the occasional ‘cheat day’ and only ever consuming sugars that occur naturally.
The farmer’s confession comes after Jeremy revealed he was ‘days away from death’ after falling unwell following a swim in the Indian Ocean while on holiday.
Clarkson returned to Britain and a ‘sudden deterioration began to gather pace’ with him feeling ‘clammy’, ‘tightness in my chest’, and ‘pins and needles in my left arm’.
This led him to being admitted to hospital where a heart attack was ruled out after he had an electrocardiogram (ECG), blood tests and X-rays.
Following the life-saving surgery, he has been warned by doctors that he must make major changes to his lifestyle.

The Diddly Squat farm star acknowledged these changes need to be made but he has labelled them as ‘terrifying’ as he is no longer ‘allowed to have fun any more’.
His doctors told him there was a five per cent chance that his heart would stop but he quipped that there was the same chance he would be eaten by lions.
And while this is might be a frightening thought, Clarkson admitted that the changes he has to make following the surgery is what is truly daunting.
Writing in the Sun, he said: ‘What is scary though is what came afterwards. The advice on how I must live my life from now on.
‘Literally, I am not allowed to have fun any more. I must live in a Liberal-Democrat, holier-than-thou fog of weeds, seeds and yoga. This is terrifying.
‘And if I go to a party, I must stand in a corner, nursing some refreshing elderflower juice, before going home at about 9.30. That’s terrifying too.’
The 64-year-old also said that he was aware that his lifestyle was unhealthy, and he was unconcerned by the thought of dying, but now wants to see his ‘grandchildren grow up’.
He revealed he started smoking at age 14 becoming a ‘world champion, sucking down sixty Marlboro Reds a day’ and told how he is a ‘big time’ drinker.

He added: ‘I always knew this lifestyle wasn’t going to cause me to live to 112, and I didn’t really care.
‘Because why deny yourself all that fun in your thirties and forties and even fifties just so you can have as long as possible with a grey face and a tube up your nose in an old people’s home?
‘Here’s the thing, though. I’m now 64 and last week, when the Grim Reaper poked his nose round the door, I decided that actually, I quite fancied living a little bit longer. ‘
His doctors also told him that ‘a lot’ of his current work will have ‘to go’, and suggested replacing it with golf.
Clarkson currently writes three newspaper columns a week, runs a brewery, a pub, a shop and a farm, which he documents on TV series Clarkson’s Farm, while also hosting Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. He has also recently released a new book.
Although he remains adamant he will continue to work – the health scare has been enough to shock meat-eater Clarkson into rethinking his diet as he contemplates ways to ‘make celery interesting’.
