Jeremy Clarkson’s glamorous new farmhand has been revealed as 24-year-old nurse Harriet Cowan.
Fans were shocked to see the glamorous new face in the series four trailer for Clarkson’s Farm this week, after Jeremy’s co-star Kaleb Cooper temporarily left the show.
The trailer showed Jeremy running into several obstacles on the farm, yet cheerful ‘Charlie’ as she was named, but has now been revealed as Harriet, made a good impression.
The new worker wasn’t afraid to get her hands dirty as she put in new fences, loaded feed for the animals and even started welding on Diddly Farm.
Harriet, a full-time nurse and farmer, admitted in the clip that she hadn’t watched Clarkson Farm’s before but she didn’t let that slow her down.
Jeremy was left in awe at her work, and gushed in the clip: ‘She’s brilliant!’

It’s hardly surprising that Harriet was a natural on the farm, having grown up helping her father Eddy tend to his land.
Harriet has a healthy social media following – boasting 35,000 TikTok followers, while her Instagram bio encourages her fans to ‘Come and watch the craziness…’
She also has a brand deal with Country Moos a sock company dedicated to cow print designs.
In 2020, Harriet made headlines when she and her friends set up a challenge to cheer NHS staff during the pandemic.
Harriet and fellow members of the Belper Young Farmers group put a unique spin on the toilet roll challenge which had been sweeping across social media.
In their clips, the group were filmed passing a loaf of bread between them as they worked on their land.
Speaking to Derbyshire Live about their videos, Harriet, then 19, said: ‘I thought we should do something to get everybody together as our club isn’t meeting because of coronavirus.
‘We saw the challenge online but we wanted to do something different – everyone else was doing the same thing with toilet rolls.’
As well as working on the farm, Harriet is a nurse, having gained her qualification at the University of Derby

In the new eight-part series of Clarkson’s Farm, Jeremy and his team will battle with mother nature as it makes one of the toughest years ever for British farmers.
The show is set to return to the streaming platform on May 23, with two additional episodes released a week later on May 30, followed by the final two on June 6.
The Mail’s Richard Eden previously revealed that Jeremy’s popular sidekick Kaleb pocketed £910,000 profit at Kaleb Cooper Productions, the company into which he channels his earnings from the series.
Accounts report £960,000 in assets before bills, including £400,000 in cash. Meanwhile, his takings, in the year to June 2024, include a £666,000 profit for the year.
He set up his TV company in 2021 and runs it alongside farming businesses K Cooper Contracting and K Cooper Holdings.
Profits made there amount to £100,000 combined, meaning Cooper has now made his first million at 26.
The Chipping Norton native has long spoken about his dream of owning his own farm – something that now seems more achievable due to his newfound fame.
Jeremy previously announced that a fifth season of Clarkson’s Farm had confirmed, before the fourth was even announced, back in November.

In a fun clip, a huge number five firework lit up the sky as Jeremy told his followers: ‘Over the years bright lights in the sky have been used to make many important announcements.
‘The birth of baby Jesus for example, but tonight they’re being used to make an announcement that’s even bigger than that.
‘Season 5 of Clarkson’s Farm is coming,’ Jeremy finished, before pointing towards the gold number five.
He captioned the post: ‘It’s the 5th November… this just felt right, Clarkson’s Farm S5 is officially in production.’
Jeremy’s announcement sparked delight from many of his followers, who quickly shared their excitement in the comments.
Such is the success of Jeremy’s hit show that it’s been credited with inspiring a new generation of young farmers.
Data from university and college admissions body UCAS last year revealed that applications from 18-year-olds to agriculture, food and related degrees had risen from around 7,900 in 2019 to more than 9,400 this summer – an increase of nearly 20 per cent.
The number of applicants accepted on to agricultural courses was up 8 per cent compared to last year.
That was on the back of an 18 per cent rise in 2021 – when Amazon Prime first broadcast Clarkson’s Farm – and a 13 per cent rise in 2022.
Its third season broke Amazon Prime’s UK ratings record, with the May premiere streamed by 5.1 million in its first week.
James Eckley, chief officer of the National Federation of Young Farmers’ Clubs, said it is very popular with his members.
He added: ‘It has brought the countryside and farming to the public’s attention.’
Brian Evans, senior lecturer in agriculture at Hartpury University in Gloucestershire, which specialises in animal and agriculture courses, said applications rose by 30 per cent this year.
He added: ‘Students have said that the recent spate of farming TV shows like Clarkson’s Farm … have been vital in showcasing to young people the different opportunities and farming way of life.’
Clarkson’s Farm series one to three are available to stream exclusively on Prime Video.
