Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper isn't letting the grass grow under him as he plans to rake in the cash amid the show's uncertain future.
It has been reported Amazon Prime has parted ways with Jeremy Clarkson following his vile rant about Meghan Markle.
However, Kaleb, 24, who has been a key figure in helping the outspoken host on his farming show, is now said to have trademarked his name in a bid to boost his bank balance.
The father-of-one wants to market merchandise and his services with a new logo submitted last month featuring his initials KC.
A friend of Kaleb’s said “He has used his name for his business interests since he started working at 13.
“Most people know Kaleb as being part of Clarkson’s Farm but it’s a lesser known fact that Kaleb is a successful farm contractor.
“As part of his business he needs to have a logo and domain name and so he has registered Kaleb Cooper Contracting Ltd,” reports The Sun.
Kaleb, whose fiancée Tanya is expecting the couple's second child, formed Kaleb Cooper Contracting, offering “agricultural contracting solutions in Oxfordshire”, long before he appeared on TV.
Jeremy revealed last year his wily co-star had struck a deal to buy cut-price human waste from Severn Trent to use as fertiliser.
However, he later quipped: “That raises an interesting point.
“Would you buy food if you knew it had been grown using human excrement?”
Amazon Prime will go ahead with the already-commissioned series Clarkson's Farm and The Grand Tour, but reportedly has no plans to work with the controversial star after 2024.
The news comes as Jeremy claimed he emailed Meghan and Prince Harry on Christmas Day to apologise, after his hate-filled rant about the Duchess of Sussex last month.
The presenter said his bosses at ITV 's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and Amazon, who make Clarkson's Farm and the Grand Tour, were "incandescent" after his decision to share his disturbing thoughts with the public last month.
In a lengthy statement shared on his Instagram page, Jeremy said he "really is sorry" for what he said in the controversial column – all the way "from the balls of my feet to the follicles on my head".
However, following Jeremy's apology, the Sussexes responded with their own statement.
Their representative said: “While a new public apology has been issued today by Mr. Clarkson, what remains to be addressed is his long-standing pattern of writing articles that spread hate rhetoric, dangerous conspiracy theories, and misogyny.
“Unless each of his other pieces were also written ‘in a hurry,’ as he states, it is clear that this is not an isolated incident shared in haste, but rather a series of articles shared in hate.”
