New Clarkson’s Farm star Harriet Cowan, 24, has opened up about a scene in the show’s trailer that fans questioned as “staged.” During an appearance on the Should I Delete That? podcast with co-star Jeremy Clarkson’s daughter, Emily, Harriet revealed the surprising reality behind the footage.
The "Fake" Scene That Was Real
In the trailer for Season 4, Harriet is seen dismissing the idea of watching Clarkson’s Farm before joining the show. Critics called the moment scripted, but Harriet confirmed its authenticity: “When I watched it, it looked fake, but it’s real. We don’t watch TV. My partner James falls asleep the second he sits down—he’s always exhausted from farm work.”

Breaking Stereotypes in Farming
Harriet, a full-time nurse, juggles her medical career with farm duties at Diddley Squat. She aims to shatter outdated perceptions of farming: “People think it’s just older men in plaid. I want to show women can thrive here too.” Her presence has sparked conversations, with locals often stunned to see her operating machinery.
From Nursing to Farming
Harriet’s dual career stems from her upbringing. Her mother encouraged nursing, while her father, a farmer, hoped she’d follow his path. She chose both, working five days a week in healthcare and weekends on the farm. Her TikTok and Instagram (@harriet.cowan) showcase her “crazy” life, blending medical scrubs with muddy boots.

Kaleb’s Return & Show’s Success
After Kaleb Cooper’s brief absence for a UK tour, he returned to the farm, sparking rumors of a rivalry. Clarkson clarified: “Kaleb wasn’t replaced. Harriet stepped in brilliantly while he was away.” The show’s Season 4 premiere broke records, with 5.1 million UK viewers in its first week.
Farming’s Rising Popularity
Clarkson’s Farm has boosted interest in agriculture, with UCAS reporting a 20% rise in farming-related university applications since 2019. Harriet’s story mirrors this shift, proving the show’s impact on younger generations.
