Overview

• While discussing Kaleb's Farmyard Tales: Escaping Animals and Runaway Tractors on Heart Radio, Cooper joked that the smallest piglet in his story is named Jeremy because "every Jeremy is always a little bit of a runt."
• He immediately apologized on air to people named Jeremy, adding, "I'm sure you're lovely."
• Coverage characterized the exchange as playful teasing in keeping with Cooper's long-running, tongue‑in‑cheek rapport with Jeremy Clarkson, including past jokey lines in his writing.
• In a separate recent interview, Cooper emphasized his respect for Clarkson, calling him a mentor and saying he "loves the bloke to pieces," signaling no fallout from the remark.
• The appearance comes as filming for Clarkson's Farm season five continues, with Cooper juggling book promotion and life at home after welcoming his third child, Ashton, earlier this month.
