Clarkson's Farm: Harriet responds to 'awkward' Kaleb Cooper
Cooper has been Jeremy Clarkson's right-hand man since the show first hit screens in 2021. He was instantly a hit with fans, but now appears to have been 'replaced'.
Cowan was introduced as the temporary replacement of farm manager Cooper on Diddly Farm.
The full-time nurse, who recently urged viewers to 'be kind' following her appearance on the show, was recruited due to Cooper's professional commitments elsewhere.
The newly minted millionaire is busy touring a one-man show after finding fame on the Prime Video series.
Just started #ClarksonsFarm4 and Harriet is an instant hit with me. I'm sorry but Kaleb might have to start looking for new employment lol — FWMFO (@DocFeelgd) May 30, 2025
Fans of the show couldn't help but notice Cooper appeared rather unimpressed with Cowan upon their introduction when he returned to the Oxfordshire location.
Jeremy Clarkson himself pointed out that Cooper needed to be kind to Cowan, telling him: 'Right, now, that's Harriet. Now be nice – behave.'
Cooper then stood watching Cowan in silence as she worked, sarcastically questioning her farming skills, with Clarkson chiding him for his attitude.

Cowan has now assured viewers that she gets on with Cooper, and said that they have even become friends away from the cameras.
During an appearance on BBC Derby, Cowan, who has a big following on TikTok, said: 'Kaleb's amazing. Me and him are so close now. He's such a good farmer and we got on really well.'
She continued: 'He's another farmer to add to my phone list to ring. Everyone checks in to make sure everyone's fine.'

Inside one of Scotland's most controversial murder cases which split small community
As The Orkney Assassin airs on Amazon Prime, Reach Screen Time speaks to two people involved in the case One of Scotland's most notorious murder cases is once again under scrutiny, thanks to a new documentary from Prime Video, reports the Scottish Daily Express. The Orkney Assassin delves into the chilling 1994 murder of Shamsuddin Mahmood, a waiter at the Indian restaurant Mumtaz in Kirkwall. Mahmood, a 26 year old Bangladeshi national, was brutally shot by a masked man in front of horrified diners, including families with children. Planning to return to Bangladesh and marry his girlfriend, Mahmood had previously worked on the island the year before his untimely death. After the shocking crime, the gunman disappeared into the night, leaving a lasting impact on the island that still resonates today. Michael Ross, who was just 15 at the time of the murder, was initially questioned by police but subsequently released. However, after a lengthy 14-year investigation, ex-Black Watch soldier Ross was finally convicted for the murder in 2008. In a dramatic turn of events, Ross attempted to flee the court following the guilty verdict, nearly making it out the door before being apprehended. A stash of weapons and camping equipment was later discovered in a vehicle hired by Ross in a nearby supermarket car park, which he claimed was part of his plan to escape and live off the land rather than face imprisonment. Ross is currently serving a 25-year sentence at HMP Shotts in Lanarkshire, one of Scotland's highest security prisons. He has made three escape attempts, which he claims were efforts to bring his case back into the public eye. Despite his conviction, Ross has always maintained his innocence. His family, including father and former policeman Eddy Ross, mother Moira, and other members of the Orkney community are campaigning for his release as part of the J4MR - Justice 4 Michael Ross group. Reach Screen Time exclusively interviewed both local newspaper reporter Ethan Flett and prosecutor Brian McConnachie KC, who provided further insights into the case that continues to divide the Orkney Island community. Flett, who keeps a close eye on the case as new information comes to light, commented: "I think there's quite a split in the community between those that think Ross is guilty and those that think he's innocent." Discussing why doubts persist about Ross' guilt despite the conviction, Flett observed: "There are a lot of inconsistencies and unanswered questions surrounding the case and the investigations that preceded the trial, dubious witnesses whose evidence seems to be rather important in the case, changing positions. Things like that got my interest in that." The journalist from Orkney's longest-running newspaper The Orcadian also noted that despite the "thorough police work" in the unprecedented case, "certain things were missed that look quite important", as well as issues with how the case was managed. Prosecutor McConnachie shared Flett's concerns about the divisions within the local community, stating: "I suspect it still does affect people." Although McConnachie is not an Orkney resident, he noted: "I think there's always going to be two sides." As the case took place in a relatively small community, McConnachie observed that it would inevitably impact the local atmosphere, with people holding differing views on Ross' innocence or guilt, particularly since his family still resides there. McConnachie described the Orkney murder as a "challenging" case and his most high-profile one, saying: "The number of times I have been asked about the case is incredible by comparison to any other case I've ever been involved in." Regarding the ongoing interest in the case, McConnachie attributed it to the fact that "I think because things keep happening" including Ross' multiple escape attempts, the most recent being in 2018. Addressing the lingering doubts about Ross' guilt, McConnachie stated: "I certainly haven't seen anything since the trial back in 2008 that suggests to me that the jury got it wrong." McConnachie further noted: "If you are trying to look for things that point towards guilt, then you might look at the circumstances of the last day of the trial, and the motor vehicle that he had and the things he had in them when he tried to escape from the court - never mind trying to escape from the prison. That there's something unnerving about what was contained within the car." Touching on the unwavering campaigns for Ross's freedom, he remarked, "I think if you are a family member and somebody is convicted and they tell you there are innocent, then the likelihood is that you are going to take their position on it and perhaps try and assist them as best you can in overcoming what they see as being a miscarriage of justice." Audiences are now able to watch The Orkney Assassin, which offers a comprehensive examination into the harrowing murder case and considers both perspectives.

‘Gut feeling more important than social media likes', says festival promoter
John Giddings, who has run the Isle of Wight Festival since it restarted in 2002, said performers need to be able to 'deliver' to a crowd and not just keep their attention on a phone screen. The 72-year-old, who represents artists ranging from Blondie to Phil Collins, told the PA news agency: 'It's gut feeling, really. I've learned the hard way in my years in the music business that some people might have sold a lot of records, but they're useless when it comes to performing. Sting performs at the Isle of Wight Festival 2008 at Seaclose Park on the Isle of Wight (Yui Mok/PA) 'You want to book acts that have a catalogue that's going to entertain an audience for an hour, hour and a half, and, secondly, someone who's capable of performing to an audience of 50,000 people in a field, because they need to be able to project to entertain. 'When you look back on who we've had – Blur, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, the (Rolling) Stones – they're all capable of delivering, even if it's pouring with rain, which it doesn't that much on the Isle of Wight, thank God. 'But you've got to be prepared for everything and it's quality of performance, really. 'I do know artists who've had a million views on TikTok who can't sell 300 tickets at a club in London. Just because all these people want to watch them on socials doesn't mean they're going to pay money to go and see them in a field.' Mr Giddings – who also manages through his Solo music agency touring shows for some of the world's biggest names such as Madonna, U2 and Beyonce – said that as well as classic acts, he needs to keep an eye on the breakthrough bands. Rod Stewart performs on day four of the Isle of Wight Festival 2017, at Seaclose Park, Isle of Wight (David Jensen/PA) He said: 'Because I'm older, we book acts from past, present and future, there's a discussion in the office as to what new bands are coming up, and you're projecting as to what they're going to be doing in the year's or nine months' time. 'I'll never forget when I booked The Darkness when they first started out, they were supporting someone at Brixton Academy, and I went down there, and I walked in, and Justin (Hawkins) was sitting on the shoulders of his roadie, walking through the audience, playing the lead solo. 'I thought, 'blimey, this is the music I grew up on', and then they came and played the Isle of Wight and blew everyone away.' Mr Giddings said he was always on the lookout for new acts, adding: 'If the truck driver comes up with a good idea and it's a better idea than mine, then go for it, you can't be that arrogant to just believe what you think yourself. 'We've got 15 stages on the Isle of Wight, so whatever stage you're at in your career, you can play one of those stages.' Mr Giddings said one of his highlights from the Isle of Wight Festival was Jay Z and added: 'I remember thinking 50,000 people couldn't go wilder, and then Kanye West walked on with them and it exploded, and I turned to my left, and there was Beyonce standing there – I thought 'It couldn't get better than this'.' Damon Albarn of Blur performs live on day three of the Isle of Wight Festival 2015 (David Jensen/PA) Mr Giddings said that he remembered the classic Isle of Wight Festival of 1970, which saw 600,000 hippies descend on the island causing the event to be outlawed for 32 years, and added: 'I remember walking over the hill, it was like going to the Battle of the Somme and you could smell them before you saw them.' After 23 years of organising the Isle of Wight Festival, he said: 'I absolutely love it, which is my downfall because I work all the time, I never think I've actually had a job. 'There's nothing better than sitting in an office in Fulham in November and it's wet and windy outside, and you're imagining putting an act on in a field on the Isle of Wight in June, and then you see it nine months later and people are going wild to it. 'It's the most satisfying thing ever to provide entertainment for people.' The Isle of Wight Festival 2025, which is being headlined by Sting, Stereophonics and Justin Timberlake, runs from June 19 to 22 at Seaclose Park, Newport.
