Taking to social media, Kaleb, 27, who rose to fame as the farmhand of Jeremy, 65, in Clarkson’s Farm, revealed he would be making the move down under.
Before this year, the farmer had made no secret of the fact he’d never been abroad, and ahead of the release of the Prime Video series in 2021, rarely left his home town of Chipping Norton.
But he’ll be making the big move this autumn as part of a ‘mission’ to see if he can expand his ‘farming contract business’ in another country.
Alongside a photo of Kaleb smiling, he penned: ‘I’ve got some news – I’m going I’m going to be going down under/to Australia to film my very own series on Prime Video.
‘You know hard it is for me to leave Chippy [Chipping Norton] so flying to Australia is definitely taking me out of my comfort zone.

Kaleb and Jeremy have been working together on Clarkson’s Farm since 2021
‘And it’s no holiday – Kaleb won’t shy away from the gritty realities of farm work while he’s out there – blisters, burns, backaches and all.’
Kaleb added: ‘I spend most of my time with the most travelled man in the world, so I got brave and booked my first ever flight to see what all the fuss was about. Australia here I come!
‘And Australia, you’ll be gaining a new farmer for a couple of months as I discover if I can make my farming contracting business go international.’
It comes after Jeremy confirmed that there would be a filming break for Clarkson’s Farm, before returning for its sixth season next year.
He wrote in his column in The Sun: ‘Are we carrying on? Well, we’ve sent the cameras away to give us a break from that side of things for a while.
‘Kaleb’s out there now in his tractor, and after I’ve finished writing this, I’ll be joining him. The show goes on.’
The documentary series, which follows Jeremy running his own farm, first hit Amazon Prime in 2021.
Clarkson’s Farm has gone on to have four successful series, and fans were delighted that in November last year it was renewed for another.
The fourth series, which won a National Television Award for Best Factual Entertainment earlier this year, broke viewing records thanks to its popularity.
Jeremy confirmed that filming had finished for its upcoming instalment, with co-star Kaleb, back on screen after taking a series off to go on tour.
Sitting around a campfire with his co-star, wife, land agent Charlie and farmhand Gerald in a picture posted to Instagram, the TV presenter wrote to fans: ‘Season 5, it’s a wrap.’
Fans flooded the comments to celebrate the news, as well as plead with Jeremy and the team behind the show to ‘keep going’ with more series.
One viewer penned: ‘This is the only show I want to see 20 seasons of,’ while a second added: ‘I hope you never stop filming Clarkson’s Farm, Jeremy, even when you’re eighty-hundred and a million ten, it’ll still be bloody brilliant.’
‘Get to Series 10’, a third wrote, while a fourth begged: ‘Please, don’t stop’.
‘Please just film all year round,’ a fifth chimed in. ‘Have a spring/summer series, winter/spring series, I know your entitled to a private life but frankly I don’t care.’
