"MPs, they're all full of s***," he says flatly. "I firmly believe if you want something done in the world you've got to do it yourself."

He hopes his new book, Kaleb's Farmyard Tales, a collection of funny, true stories from the farm, featuring child-friendly chapters on pigs, sheep, chickens, cows, poo and, of course, tractors, will amuse and educate young readers.

Fatherhood has changed him, Kaleb agrees.

"Having kids has made me realise that it’s OK to stop for 10 minutes and just enjoy that time and make that memory with your kids.

"I wanted to be a young father and I’m very lucky to be able to do that. I work my a*** off to provide for my family, and that’s what I'll keep doing.

"I would be lying if I said I haven't changed, but I have grown up. I've got three kids now. When you saw me in the first season [of Clarkson’s Farm] I had a beard and about four chest hairs."

He recalls that he grew up prematurely, starting his first business aged 13, after his mother bought him three chickens and he'd sell the eggs to the local community.
