Jeremy Clarkson's partner Lisa Hogan has left Clarkson's Farm fans delighted with her latest social media update involving Kaleb Cooper and Gerald Cooper.
The 76-year-old left fans devastated when Clarkson revealed he'd been diagnosed with prostate cancer during season three of the hit show, with the former Top Gear star admitting Cooper was "terrified".
As season three drew to a close, a tearful Cooper said to the Amazon crew: "I would like to thank everybody, all of the film crew and all my friends here. All of you have been so kind to me and my family. So thank you very much."
The Diddly Squat team raised a glass to the farm's "Head of Security" and now, Hogan has revealed he's still very involved with the team at the farm. In a new video shared to Instagram, Hogan is joined by the two Coopers as they're receiving a lift along the roads of Oxfordshire.
The younger Cooper can't resist teasing their driver as he remarks from the back seat: "Can I have the window up now, please? I'm cold. Are we there yet? Can we have the air-con on?"
Spotting the chance for a joke, Hogan turns to 76-year-old Cooper in the front seat and quips: "Dad, can you please control your son!"
The Chadlington local turns and lets out a laugh at his Clarkson's Farm star's antics before the video draws to a close. Hogan clarified in the accompanying caption the pair weren't father and son as she typed: "Family trip out (& no Gerald isn’t @cooper_kaleb ‘s actual dad)."

Seeing the comradery between the trio as well as Cooper smiling and in high spirits prompted several social media users to express their delight at the update.
"Huh. Could've sworn he was Kaleb's dad. Fair enough," one baffled fan penned. "Good to see Gerald out and about and having a good time."
"So good to see Gerald laughing," another added with a thumbs-up emoji before a third weighed in: "Glad to see Gerald doing well."
A fourth echoed: "The funniest people. Glad your doing well Gerald."
"So glad to see gerald. And kaleb is so funny," another weighed in with a love-heart emoji before a sixth praised: "Brilliant -love the relationships and banter between you all." (sic)
Clarkson and the team are currently filming the fourth season of Amazon's record-breaking series at Diddly Squat in which everyone is expected to return.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
However, earlier this week, Clarkson opened up on why fans won't be seeing younger new faces on the farm.
The Grand Tour star revealed he's had to reject job applications from younger people due to the fact many don't drive.
"So how are they going to get to and from the farm when it’s three in the morning and a pig is dying? Or it’s 10pm and we’ve just decided to plough one more field before calling it a day?" he questioned.
Explaining why he thought this attitude had been adopted by so many youngsters, he mused in the Times: "I know of no young person who thinks a car might be 'fun'. Or that speed is exciting... Nor do they see a car as a symbol of freedom.
"They see it as a tool. And, worse, a tool they can do without."
