Clarkson's Farm's Kaleb Cooper supports co-star Charlie over move away from series

Charlie Ireland was praised by his Clarkson's Farm co-star Kaleb Cooper after completing the inaugural Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon on Sunday, to raise funds for Motor Neurone Disease research.

The advisor and land agent took to Instagram to thank those who supported him, with Kaleb praising Charlie before adding a cheeky comment about the work ahead on Jeremy Clarkson's Farm.

Charlie, whose dad was diagnosed with MND in 2008, wrote: "Thank you to everyone who has donated to such a great cause @mndassoc Well done to everyone who ran the Rob Burrow Leeds marathon today, what an amazing experience! Here are a few clips from today! #robburrowleedsmarathon #runcheerfulcharlie #motorneuronedisease."

"Well done don’t forget we are walking crops tomorrow! Hope they legs have got it in them," Kaleb commented.

Fans shared their support for the Clarkson's Farm star as one wrote: "Is there anything that this gentleman can't do? Great job, Charlie! Cheers," while another added: "Amazing effort Charlie!! (hope you can still walk today?!)."

A fellow marathon runner said: "That was a really tough run yesterday! Well done! (My legs are wrecked!!)"

Land agent and agricultural advisor Charlie, says: “I’m not sure I really thought this through for my first (and only) marathon - Leeds is horribly hilly it seems - but I am looking forward to the challenge. My Dad was diagnosed with MND in 2008 and the MND Association were amazing.

"Our family met some incredible people who showed so much warmth and kindness which made Dad’s life far easier. There is no known cure, but the funds raised will help families like ours to cope a little easier by getting the support they need from the MND Association. It will also enable further research into this terrible disease."

Meanwhile, Clarkson’s Farm stars Kaleb and Charlie visited Downing Street on Tuesday for a summit hosted by Rishi Sunak on securing supermarket supply chains.

Asked about the stars' attendance at the Farm to Fork meeting, the Prime Minister’s spokesman told journalists: “Obviously that programme (Clarkson’s Farm) has been important in raising some of the issues that farmers face.

“And I think some of the policies set out today will support the farming sector.”
