Kaleb Cooper has remained tight-lipped about when season three of Clarkson' Farm, the show that rocketed him to fame three years ago, will be aired.
In an interview with the Oxford Mail, Mr Cooper said: "I can’t say when the next season is out.
"But we’ve nearly finished filming the third season now.
"Everyone’s dying to know, I think. Unfortunately I can’t say anything.
"And I can’t really give you any teasers. I don’t want to spoil anything. But it’s looking amazing."

And will there be a season four?
"I’m not sure. And I’m not sure if Jeremy's interested. I don't know if people will lose interest. It's not something I've sat down and thought about," Mr Cooper said.
Scenes in season two showed clashes between the Diddly Squat Farm team and West Oxfordshire District Council over planning applications for a car park and a restaurant with Jeremy finally granted permission to extend the car park in June.
"I try and stay out of all that to be honest, I’m so busy farming," said Mr Cooper. "But the new car park is smart and it’s working really well.
"I never really go up to the shop, I’m so busy in the fields but it looks busy when you’re driving past."
The 25-year-old farming contractor from Chipping Norton has been busy too, penning a follow-up to his Sunday Times bestseller The World According to Kaleb.
He said: "The new book Britain According To Kaleb is all about British traditions that have been going on for years and years and years. So things like gravy wrestling, eating competitions and carry your wife competitions.
"I don’t get many days off being flat out farming but the days I do get off I go to Bourton on the Water to go to the Duck Race with my little ones and the family and it’s a great day out.
"Or Moreton Show, or any agricultural show. These things are really inspired by the atmosphere of these places.
"You can learn something from the book and that’s what I like. I try to learn something new every day."
Mr Cooper will be signing copies for lucky ticket holders in Chipping Norton tomorrow (Saturday, October 14).
He said: "When I do a book I always go to my local bookshops to do a signing and I’m going to Jaffe and Neale tomorrow in Chipping Norton where my dad actually built all the bookshelves.
"I’ll be there all afternoon. I’m hoping for a big crowd. Chipping Norton has lots of coffee shops and lovely pubs to go in for a meal. I’m hoping people who are visiting the farm shop will come along as well.
"I hope it brings lots of people to the local area which is amazing."
The agricultural entrepreneur, who famously said he gets a nosebleed going as far as Stow on the Wold, will be overcoming his dislike of leaving Chippy and heading out on the road next year.
His live tour will give audiences will get the chance to participate in some rather interesting rural pastimes as well as highlighting some of the many challenges that British farmers face today.
Rehearsals start next month and the tour kicks off on January 25 at Cheltenham Everyman before going to Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester, Birmingham and theatres all over the UK until the beginning of March.
Was it his new career in TV that has given him a taste for performing?
"I have actually been in the school play," he said.
"I did Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat at St Mary’s Primary School in Chipping Norton.
"I do lots of Young Farmers talks and industry talks and I quite enjoy it actually. I think there’s a technique to this and if you can master that technique it’s really enjoyable.
"I was writing this second book and I thought, I’m missing out on some of the most amazing places such as Scotland and Wales. And I thought, I might never get the chance to see these if I don’t venture a little bit further from home.
"I get a nosebleed going to Oxford but I’ve learned that clears up quite quickly and it doesn’t happen again.
"I’ve just bought a tractor to come on tour with me to come on the stage so I’m looking forward to going to see that next week so I can give it a try out," he said.
"I’m not away continuously. I couldn’t do that. When I go to Scotland which is the furthest we go I will stay for two days, do the show and come back the next day.
"I have to get my fix of farming every day."
Mr Cooper is so passionate about all things farming that in June he announced a new bursary with the Royal Agricultural University (RAU) in Cirencester.
He said: "I think Clarkson’s Farm has inspired people to become a farmer. Farming’s not a job. I don’t think anyone says, oh I’ve got to get up in the morning to go and milk some cows.
"It’s more a way of life and I think that’s come across in the programme and I think people have been inspired.
"The bursary is there to help young students come along into this industry and give them a helping hand along the way.
"I get lots and lots of messages. It’s like that thing in school where you have to write to someone you’ve been inspired by and I get lots and lots of them and I reply to all of them and give them advice to help them get into farming.
"Of course I want my son and my daughter to both go into farming but if they don’t want to be a farmer I never want to push them. I feel lucky that I knew my path from such an early age."
So how does the agricultural entrepreneur, who has children Oscar, aged two and a half, and Willa, four months, manage his busy life.
"You just make it happen, don’t you," he said. "Family life is easy to manage when you’re farming.
"My little boy can help me on the farm, he’ll help me feed the pigs and help feed the cows and come on walks through the crops with me so I keep his little legs busy.

"If I’m farming, I’m on the tractor and I can do everything. So for example I’m on the tractor drilling while we’re filming series 3.
"For the books, I hit the GPS button, it drives me up the field, as long as everything’s going well around me I can then jump on my phone and can speak to people about certain areas where they live.
"I do my best thinking in the tractor cab. I’ve got a little recorder, I can record my thoughts and I get back home on a weekend if I’ve got five minutes I can write it all down.
"I can do multiple jobs while doing farming."
Despite his immense success, people still treat him exactly the same in his hometown, he said.
"Nothing changes at all in Chipping Norton. People think that stuff changes but like yesterday I walked through and had a chat to all the people I know.
"I’ve known them since I was a kid so the general chit chat is, how’s your mum, how’s your dad? How’s the kids? It’s all friendly chat, it’s the best place to live I think personally."
He is not interested in showbiz parties and nor is wife Taya, who he met at Chipping Norton School.
"I don’t do any of that, no. My wife's not really interested either. She’s fairly busy - she helps round the farm. She went to London the other day just for a day out. I'm scared of London, she's not."
Mr Cooper, who worked for the previous owner of what Jeremy renamed Diddly Squat Farm, has revealed he’s the ‘real boss’, adding: ‘It’s Kaleb’s Farm, secretly.’
He said: "Yeah I think Jeremy has learned a lot from me. I’ve learned a lot from him about television as well, and what better man to learn from about starting in that industry.
"He’s got his own way of doing things but he’s got a little knowledge now... and that’s very dangerous."
Britain According to Kaleb (Quercus) – hardback (£20), ebook & audio. Tickets for ’THE WORLD ACCORDING TO KALEB: KALEB GOES ON TOUR’ are on sale now and can be purchased via: www.kaleblive.com
