Harriet Cowan addresses future on Clarkson's Farm as series four comes to an end

Clarkson's Farm fan favourite Harriet Cowan has addressed her future on the hit show in the wake of Kaleb Cooper's return.

The 24-year-old made quite the impression on viewers during her short tenure on the Amazon Prime series while she stepped into the shoes of Jeremy Clarkson's right-hand man.

Cooper took a brief hiatus from his farming duties to head off on a speaking tour around the UK, with his boss Clarkson joking that he had been majorly 'left in the lurch'.

Cowan then came in to save the day, with the full-time nurse and farmer acting as the Top Gear legend's assistant in season four of Clarkson's Farm.

She didn't mind getting her hands dirty during her time tending to the 1,000-acre Diddly Squat Farm and fans of the show have been calling for her to become a permanent fixture.

One said in a post on X: "Watching Clarkson's Farm s4 and I've immediately absolutely fallen in love with Harriet."

Another wrote: "Just watching Clarkson's Farm 4 and OBSESSED with Harriet."

A third added: "Just putting it out there, I much prefer Harriet on Clarkson's Farm."

And a fourth simply said: "Love Harriet’s energy."

Both Clarkson and Cooper have shared their thoughts on whether the Derbyshire-born farmhand has a future on the show, in the wake of rumours that she might be a good 'replacement'.

During an appearance on This Morning last month, Cooper made it clear he is 'still involved' with the series, while saying he was 'very grateful' that Cowan had taken the reins while he was away.

Clarkson was just as impressed with the nurse's prowess on his farm, while revealing she had even got him into TikTok.

"She explained that it was a way she can connect with other people when she’s doing something, because it is lonely," The Grand Tour star told The Sun last month. "It suddenly made sense."

Discussing her future on Clarkson's Farm, the 65-year-old said he's got Cowan on speed dial in case Cooper ever swans off again.

Explaining that the crew 'don’t just bring characters in because the TV show needs it', Clarkson said: "You bring them in because you really need them. I loved Harriet to bits and I wish her all the very best.

"She was fantastic to have around. But the truth is, we’ve got Kaleb, and he might go off and do Celebrity Love Island or something, and if I can’t manage, I’ll call Harriet in a heartbeat."

So, the fellas have shared their thoughts - but what does Cowan herself think of possibly being invited back to Clarkson's Farm?

During an interview with BBC Breakfast earlier this week, the nurse said: "We've always left it very open. I'm here if he needs me, but no plans at the minute. If he needs me, I'm here."

She also revealed that she was left taken aback by the reception she received from fans of Clarkson's Farm.

Cowan continued: "I'm shocked because I didn't realise so many people are interested in me and what I do day to day. I've never really thought of it as anything exciting. It's just my little life.

"I get up and farm, go to work, come back and farm. Even walking down the street and seeing people, they'll recognise us. It's absolutely crazy."

The 24-year-old went on to say that she hopes her time on the show will break down some 'stereotypes' about what a farmer looks like.

"Just because I'm a small blonde who likes to curl her hair and wear make-up, and things like that, doesn't mean I can't be a farmer," Cowan said.

"For me, it's really important. I think, it's just changing that stereotype of being a farmer and what a farmer is. But, I'm definitely still going to farm, you're never getting me off this place!"
