Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper has revealed the big problem stopping him from doing I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here!. The Prime Video personality previously revealed that he might want to try a stint in the Australian jungle. Kaleb, 26, appeared at London's O2 Arena last night at the National Television Awards. Clarkson's Farm was nominated for a gong in the best Factual Award category. Meanwhile, the farm hand himself was nominated in the Best Expert category. He competed for the honour alongside the likes of Sir David Attenborough, Martin Lewis, Anton Du Beke, and Torvill & Dean. Although he never went up on stage to collect an award, he did help with the proceedings by presenting the TV Presenter gong to Ant and Dec. Afterwards, he seemed to be in great spirits backstage, but when asked about the prospect of doing I'm A Celebrity, he revealed that there was just one problem. He admitted: "I can see myself on there one day, maybe. But, I mean, I've got to find the right time." "I've still got to get a passport. I haven't got a passport yet. So, I've got to do that before I go on that." He added: "But, I mean, one day, maybe." But he was keen to point out that there was one show that he wouldn't need a new passport for, Strictly Come Dancing. "Strictly, you don't need a passport for that one," Kaleb exclaimed, before revealing his physique was not made for dancing. "Just my body and a lot of kids there for dancing. It's like being in the water." This comes after he previously admitted that he was "ready for Australia" after coming face-to-face with a deadly creature. He shared a scary video of a snake captured on the land of Jeremy Clarkson's 1,000 acre site. In the short video clip, one of Kaleb's pals could be seen holding onto the creature, which appeared to have been found in the grassland in one of the farm's fields. He appeared utterly shocked to see the animal as he remarked: "Snakes in the UK!" Jokingly, he then admitted he was ready to head Down Under as he quipped: "Do you know what, I'm ready for Australia." Clarkson's Farm is available to watch on Amazon Prime. Kaleb Cooper has revealed that he would consider doing I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here, however he has a "big problem" standing in his way. The Clarkson's Farm star attended the 2024 National Television Awards on Wednesday where he was nominated in two categories: Factual Entertainment and Expert. Although he didn't pick up an award on the night, the father of two remained in high spirits when he spoke to press media backstage after the ceremony. When asked about the prospect of doing I'm A Celebrity, Kaleb revealed that there was a rather huge problem standing in his way. He said: "I can see myself on there one day, maybe. But, I mean, I've got to find the right time. "I've still got to get a passport. I haven't got a passport yet. So, I've got to do that before I go on that." However, he was keen to point out that he would not consider Strictly Come Dancing and said that his physique was not made for the dancefloor. Earlier in the night, Kaleb spoke exclusively with Express Online on the red carpet about his thoughts fronting The Grand Tourahead of the show’s conclusion. For the past two decades, Kaleb’s Clarkson Farm co-star, Jeremy Clarkson has starred in the series alongside his two pals Richard Hammond and James May. However, following its final episode on Friday the trio will end their onscreen partnership after 22 years to focus on individual projects. However, the 26 year old shut down hopes of him taking over the beloved show. Kaleb confirmed he had seen the comments and joked he had been “converted” to a car fanatic thanks to Jeremy. He also admitted his main focus and insisted that “tractors are my main thing,” as he opened up about his rather gruelling morning. “I was on the farm waking up cows this morning,” as Kaleb joked: “If I do smell like cow st, I do apologise.” Kaleb Cooper has finally shared his thoughts about fronting The Grand Tour ahead  of the show’s conclusion.  For the past two decades, Kaleb’s Clarkson Farm co-star, Jeremy Clarkson has starred in the series alongside his two pals Richard Hammond and James May. However, following its final episode on Friday the trio will end their onscreen partnership to focus on their solo projects. As Kaleb recently revealed he had treated himself to a classic Mustang, fans pleaded for the farmer to take over The Grand Tour alongside his projects in Chipping Norton. However, during a red carpet appearance at the National Television Awards, the 26-year-old shut down all hopes. Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, Kaleb confirmed he had seen the comments and joked he had been “converted” to a car fanatic thanks to Jeremy. However, he confirmed his focus and admitted that “tractors are my main thing,” as he opened up about his gruelling morning. “I was on the farm waking up cows this morning,” as Kaleb joked: “If I do smell like cow st, I do apologise.” As well as the usual animals at Diddly Squat, the TV star recently revealed he’d discovered a never-before-seen addition to his farm. Taking to Instagram, the dad-of-two revealed he had discovered a snake on Diddly Squat and filmed the animal as he exclaimed: “Snakes in the UK! I’m ready for Australia.” Kaleb seemed both thrilled and surprised to have discovered a snake on his farm. Ahead of The Grand Tour’s Friday finale, Richard teased a precarious moment as he admitted he thought he was “going to die”. For the very last episode of the former Top Gear trio’s exploits on Prime Video, they will travel to Zimbabwe for one more trek in classic cars.
