The incident occurred this afternoon at around midday (Wednesday, April 22) as the trio were sent to Headley Way.

Rhodri Jones, who works at the nearby John Radcliffe Hospital, spotted smoke on his way home.

“There is a house fire with fire engines present on Hedley Way near the entrance to the hospital,” he said at the time.

“There is a general smell of burning in the area.”

The incident took several hours to be dealt with as fire crews did not depart the scene until 3.30pm in the afternoon.

A spokesperson for Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “We were called today just after midday, sending three fire engines to Headley Way in Oxford.

“Crews used hosereels to extinguish a fire in the living room of a semi-detached domestic property, with a pressure ventilation fan used to clear the smoke.”

The 27-year-old farmhand from Chipping Norton rose to fame in the first season of the Amazon Prime Video show, which was released in 2021.

Since then, the Oxfordshire star has appeared in all three subsequent series, including the fourth iteration, which was released earlier this year across May and June last year.

Mr Cooper has three children with his partner, Taya, welcoming the birth of their son, Ashton, in September 2025.

Now, Mr Cooper has revealed a fire has ripped through one of his barns, leaving the building and its contents destroyed.

The Chipping Norton‑based farming contractor and TV personality shared a photograph of the aftermath on social media.

This snap, uploaded to his Instagram Story, showed piles of charred debris with the structure still standing but smoking, with the straw destroyed.

Mr Cooper said: “I’m having a bad day. Anyone got any straw? Lost all mine.”

The 27-year-old did not give details of how the fire started or the cost of the subsequent damage.

Mr Cooper will be appearing in the latest series of Clarkson’s Farm, with the first episodes due to be released on Wednesday, June 3.

He has built a huge following beyond the TV show, regularly sharing behind‑the‑scenes clips of life on the land with his trademark blunt humour and no‑nonsense farming tips.

Mr Cooper has previously spoken about the challenges facing farmers, from rising costs to red tape, and often uses his platform to champion British agriculture.

Santiago de Compostela Airport in north-west Spain will shut from Thursday, April 23 until Wednesday, May 27, with no flights able to take off or land during this period.

British travellers, including those flying with Ryanair from Stansted, are being advised to review their holiday arrangements and check with airlines for any changes or disruptions.

The budget airline, which operates a flight from Stansted to the affected airport regularly, had flights land there on April 17, 19, and 21.

However, future services will now not go ahead, potentially disrupting the travel plans of those heading to northern Spain.

On average, 30 flights from the UK land at Santiago de Compostela each week.

Santiago de Compostela is the capital of Galicia in north-west Spain.

It is the final destination of the historic Camino de Santiago pilgrimage routes, home to a UNESCO‑listed old town and the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.

In a statement on the Spanish airport operator’s website, Aena, it says the airport “will be closed from 23 April to 27 May 2026 for runway resurfacing works.

“During this period, the airport will be closed to all air traffic, and no takeoffs or landings will take place.

“If you have any questions about your flight status, schedule changes, or possible rebooking, we recommend contacting your airline.”

Travellers heading to Santiago de Compostela will need to make alternative flight arrangements during the closure.

The nearest option is A Coruña Airport, around 42 miles to the north, with a journey time of just under an hour by car.
