Clarkson’s Farm star Kaleb Cooper has been nominated for a National Television Award in the expert category.
The Chipping Norton young farmer, who shot to worldwide fame after teaching Jeremy Clarkson how to 'tractor' in Clarkson's Farm, seemed slightly bemused by his nomination which puts him in the same category as Sir David Attenborough.
In a video posted to his Instagram, Kaleb seemed not to know exactly what an NTA is.
And he found it hard to believe what was happening: "I mean, I know who my vote goes to straight away, which is the best of all, Sir David Attenborough," he said.
The duo are up against Oxfordshire's Dame Prue Leith, Banbury boy Gordon Ramsay and Lord Sugar.
And the hit Amazon Prime show itself Clarkson’s Farm is nominated in the Factual Entertainment category up against Dame Prue’s Great British Bake Off in the shortlist for 2022 which was revealed last night.

And The Repair Shop, featuring talented Witney locals Steve and Suzie Fletcher, is nominated for best daytime show against Loose Women, The Chase and This Morning.
