Harriet Cowan, aged 25, shared insights on Jeremy Clarkson’s persona. During her time on series four of Clarkson’s Farm, she filled in for Kaleb Cooper and spent 11 weeks at Diddly Squat Farm in Oxfordshire, supporting the former Top Gear host in land management. Leaving her nursing career to focus on farming and content creation, Harriet revealed Jeremy’s off-camera demeanor on the Fed By Farmers podcast, describing him as a supportive father figure. She noted the divisive opinions people hold about Jeremy, likening him to the love-it-or-hate-it nature of Marmite.
Having known little about Jeremy’s work before joining Clarkson’s Farm, Harriet was intrigued by the opportunity presented by Charlie Ireland, Jeremy’s land agent, to feature on the Amazon Prime Video series. She found Jeremy to be akin to other farmers she had encountered, emphasizing his willingness to learn. Jeremy’s unexpected transition to farming in 2019 came after the retirement of the farm’s tenant, leading him to take over the 1,000-acre property, rebranding it as Diddly Squat Farm and documenting his farming journey on television.
Harriet observed Jeremy’s dedication to the farm’s success and humorously noted his farmer-like physique. While she didn’t confirm her return to Clarkson’s Farm, she expressed aspirations of owning her farm with her partner, James Booth. She envisions a farm where she can raise and sell cattle, wanting to take pride in her hard work and accomplishments. Harriet also hinted at upcoming TV projects and YouTube ventures.
