Jeremy Clarkson's Farm star Harriet Cowan's life off-screen including family feud
Harriet Cowan has taken on a new role in the fourth season of Amazon Prime Video's Clarkson's Farm, where she was lauded as a lifesaver by presenter Jeremy Clarkson.
Newcomer Harriet Cowan, 24, has bid farewell to Diddly Squat farm where she stepped in as a pinch-hitter for Jeremy Clarkson during the fourth series of the show, adding a touch of glamour to the rural setting.
The TikTok sensation was drafted as temporary cover for manager Kaleb Cooper, 26, while he embarked on a nationwide tour with his solo production. Upon his return to the Chipping Norton farmland, Harriet resumed her everyday life.
In a sweet parting exchange with the ex-Top Gear host, she expressed her thrill having been an indispensable asset to the team.
"You saved my life. So, if we get stuck again, can we give you a call?" Clarkson queried the qualified nurse. Yet at this juncture, sources intimate with the programme have indicated there are "no plans" for Harriet's return in the current or any forthcoming seasons of Clarkson's Farm.
Harriet may have taken her leave from the screen, but the online influencer swiftly endeared herself to viewers and commands a hefty following - with 448,700 disciples on TikTok and 159,000 on Instagram - spurring calls for her reappearance on the show, reports the Mirror.
Hailing from a lineage of farmers, Harriet was reared on her grandfather's livestock farm, now managed by her father. Her digital presence predominantly showcases the pastoral lifestyle along with frequent appearances by her irresistibly charming brown collie named Sky.
Let's delve into Harriet's activities away from the limelight, including girls' holidays and nights out.
Girls' holiday and nights out
Following her stint on Clarkson's Farm, Harriet embarked on a well-deserved getaway with friends to sunny Spain. Trading in her wellies for a trendy bucket hat and blue bikini, she unwound by the pool and shared a few glimpses into her vacation on social media.
Harriet was spotted getting glammed up for a night out with the girls and even shared a photo of herself inflating a pink lido for a relaxing poolside lounge session. She also reportedly tried on some accessories at a local store, enjoying some retail therapy.
While Harriet dedicates a significant amount of time to her work on the farm and nursing, as well as advocating for farmers' mental health, she also enjoys letting loose and having fun. Her social media is filled with snaps of glamorous nights out with friends and her partner, James Booth.
Boyfriend James
Harriet's boyfriend, James, is reportedly a third-generation farmer, and the couple has been together for "some time," according to one of her step-sisters. The Clarkson's Farm star frequently shares adorable photos and videos with her partner, whom she appears to have met at the Young Farmers Club (YFC).
In one heartfelt video post, she wrote: "The 'butterfly effect' is crazy because if I didn't join young farmers we'd of never of met."
Harriet and her boyfriend share much in common with their agricultural heritage. She playfully wrote in a post last year: "Your bf brings you presents to unwrap ... Mine brings me bales to unwrap. We're not the same."
In another amusing TikTok about lambing season, Harriet, seen cuddling an adorable lamb, quipped: "I've been covered head to toe in bodily fluids. But at the end of it all I expect my bf to take the bins out cause it's gross".
Nursing career
Beyond farming, Harriet maintains a demanding career in nursing. A 2023 graduate from the University of Derby, she's now a fully qualified nurse working for the NHS with a hectic timetable.
Harriet also touched on the monetary challenges of farming in a humorous TikTok, pondering whether she could leave her job to farm full-time, but then remembering her mortgage obligations. She wittily captioned her video, "Suppose I would miss nursing a bit too".
Family feud
Family drama seems to be part of Harriet's life as well; her stepsister has spoken out since Harriet gained popularity on Clarkson's Farm. Elina Clifford, a professional chiropodist, has openly shared her thoughts regarding her distant stepsister Harriet with quite a candid approach.
In a candid chat with the Daily Mail, Elina labelled her step-sibling as "fake" and "self-absorbed", stressing "She loves to be the centre of attention, often at others' expense".
Moreover, Elina didn't mince her words when issuing a stark caution to Clarkson's Farm, stating: "She is fake in the way she behaves, so Jeremy Clarkson, beware!" The Express has also reported that Elina and her older sister Maddie – a dedicated teacher – attribute the beginnings of the "family feud" to Harriet's purported misconduct towards their mother Vicky, currently in a relationship with Harriet's father Eddy.
The discord within the family, the sisters allege, stems from Harriet's alleged coldness towards their mother, leading to significant strife. "We don't have a good relationship with her. Our mum is with her dad now, and there was a lot of drama a couple of years ago. There is a family feud, and Harriet was not being very nice to mum, and it was very upsetting," Maddie disclosed.
The sisters went on to suggest that Harriet's participation in Clarkson's Farm was merely a ploy to bolster her already sizable social media presence, critiquing this move as "sad and desperate" while accusing the television personality of being "obsessed with herself".

How is it that I only just found out today that Rhi from MAFS is Rhi Disljenkovic from f**king primary school?' she said in the video. 'I literally went to school with her!' she exclaimed, before pointing out herself in the class photo. The TikTok ForYou page algorithm quickly helped the post find several of Rhi's old school friends on the app. 'Aww there's me front and centre!' another person commented, writing: 'I was besties with Rhiannon. I don't watch TV so never knew about her being on TV lol. So cool to see this photo!' Meanwhile, the woman who made the video said that from what she can remember, Rhi was 'popular' in school and was 'a very nice girl with time for anyone.' Rhi and her MAFS husband Jeff Gobbels emerged from season 12 of Married At First Sight as the only successful match from the reality TV 'experiment' in 2025.

They were discussing their relationship with series expert Mel Schilling and confirmed children were in their future.

I would have never in a million years picked this, it is actually a cool story...' Rhi told Mel. '...To tell your kids!' Mel jumped in. Rhi agreed with her, confirming the pair were considering having children. 'That's it! I was about to say that,' she said. Jeff then thanked the experts for matching him with Rhi and said one of the secrets to the success was the great timing, which was 'everything'. In April, the pair were as loved-up as ever as they attended Daily Mail Australia's exclusive MAFS reunion dinner party in Sydney. The couple were by each other's side for most of the night, and held hands and stared into each other's eyes at the dinner table. Their fellow cast members collectively told Daily Mail Australia the pair are the 'real deal' and have loved seeing their romance unfold and prosper outside of the experiment.

The couple, who melted hearts during their Final Vows when they chose to stay together, have revealed what's next for their blossoming relationship and shut down swirling engagement rumours. Rhi and Jeff – who were matched on the show by experts who had no idea they had previously dated each other briefly - said the key to their success was emotional maturity and good communication.

Nepo babies' not-so-humble brag about their status and generational wealth as they embrace label in new trend - but can you guess who their famous parents are?
Nepo babies have really been in the hot seat over the last year - and now rather than rebuffing the identity, they are bragging about it. In a new online trend, the offspring of the rich and famous are making their celebrity-heir status known thanks to the basketball term 'air ball' - a missed basket. Among the nepo babies jumping on the trend are Ava Phillippe, the daughter of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe, Francesca Scorsese and Jackson 5 star Randy Jackson's daughter Zoë. But perhaps winning the trend is Alianna Thiam - given that her dad Akon sings on the track being overlaid on the clips, Soul Survivor. The clips show the nepo babies turn the joke on you for making an 'airball' - a very wrong, and seriously underestimated, assumption about what their parents do for work. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Taking to TikTok, Senegalese-American singer Akon's daughter Alianna shared a picture of himself with the caption: 'Told him my dad was in the music industry.' In the next slide, Alianna could be seen taking a mirror selfie in a lavish apartment as she added a caption with her hypothetical date's response: 'He said "Oh like a manager?"' In a mic drop moment, Alianna's final slide is a sweet picture of her hugging her famous father. Holyfknairball was hashtagged to call out the date's conversational missed basket. Meanwhile Reese's daughter Ava shared a selfie writing: 'I told him my mom's a lawyer. ' The next snap showed Ava and her mum on the set of the iconic film Legally Blonde, with the hypothetical person's very incorrect response mistakenly assuming she means an actual lawyer. The caption on the clip reads 'He said "Oh what firm does she work at?",' and the third slide is the movie poster of Legally Blonde with 'air ball' written over the top. 'Her law degree may not be real... but she did go to Stanford for a bit,' Ava captioned the post. Next up was American Idol judge Randy Jackson's daughter Zoë who put her own spin on the trend by leaving it ambiguous as to what kind of judge he is. 'I told him my dad was a judge,' she said in the first clip, writing in the second: 'He said "Cool! At which court"' She then added a snap of her dad on the talent show. 'It's gonna be a YES for me Dawg,' Zoë captioned her take. And Academy Award-winning filmmaker Martin Scorsese's daughter Francesca also got in on the action - saying she was 'told to do this trend'. 'I told him "My dad is a filmmaker". He said "Oh nice like for commercials or something?",' before dropping a photo of the iconic director. The term nepo baby was coined by a Twitter user in 2022 who was shocked to learn their favourite actress had famous parents. It sparked a fierce debate on whether the children of the rich and famous have been getting an unfair leg up. But the nepo baby path to fame doesn't always run smooth, with many forced to try their hand at several showbiz careers until they find one that sticks. In stark contrast to the air ball trend, some celebrity offspring have taken issue with being branded as such, with TV presenting duo Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan's daughter Chloe going as far as to call the phrase a 'dirty word'. Phoenix Brown, the daughter of Spice Girl Mel B, also recently slammed the 'febrile and poisonous' debate around nepo babies' success in the entertainment industry. She made headlines when she hosted an art exhibition only for it to be a ruse as part of a documentary on nepo babies. 'I told him my dad was a judge,' she said in the first clip, writing in the second: 'He said "Cool! At which court"' She then added a snap of her dad on the talent show Daughter of Spice Girl Mel B, Phoenix Brown, 25, is fronting Channel 4 documentary Born in the Limelight - Nepo Babies: Untold, which first aired in October, and returns to screens again next Thursday. In the documentary Phoenix pretends to reinvent herself as an artist, using her mother's name to stage an exhibition. She sells a painting for £2,000 - but an experts admits that without her famous name it would only be worth £30. But despite admitting that having Mel B as her mum has 'opened doors', Phoenix warns that the levels of 'hate' for nepo babies has never been so high following public obsession with the concept. Meanwhile Brooklyn Beckham's rise to nepo baby success comes after years of being the butt off the joke as he tried to launch various showbiz careers. The eldest child of David and Victoria Beckham has taken jibes in the past over his career changes, having first tried to follow in his footballer father's steps before becoming an aspiring photographer and trying his hand at becoming a chef. In 2017, the then-aspiring photographer released a book named What I See. While in 2020, he was also said to have signed to a major modelling agency, after receiving criticism over his photography. Speaking to Grazia in November, Brooklyn addressed the nepo baby criticism, as he said: 'Obviously I am one. But I couldn't help how I was born, at all.' While he understands why the public can feel irked by nepo babies, Brooklyn said he tries to ignore the 'rubbish' people say rather than dwell on it. He added: 'There's always going to be people that say rubbish. But as long as you do something that makes you happy and you're kind to people, that's all that matters. I'm always gonna get it, no matter what I do. And I'm fine with that. It makes me work harder, because I'm like, I'm gonna prove these people wrong.' When Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban 's daughter Sunday Rose, 16, made her catwalk debut for MiuMiu it didn't get quite the breathless reception the brand was expecting. The teenager's 'stomping' went viral on social media, with people critiquing her style and saying that she looked like a 'petulant child'. Her country singer father Keith, 57, jumped to her defence, and told People Magazine he is 'very proud' of his teen daughter but wants to protect her. Kate Moss's half-sister Lottie has also declared she is 'sick of people blaming nepotism for why they aren't rich and famous or successful'. Lottie signed with Storm Management when she was just 14 years old and threw herself into modelling, but decided to quit photoshoots for OnlyFans in 2021. Amid a storm of nepo baby criticism in 2022, Lottie said: 'I'm so sick of people blaming nepotism for why they aren't rich and famous or successful - obviously it's not fair that people who come from famous families are getting a leg up because of that but guess what? 'Life isn't fair - if you put your mind to something you can accomplish anything! So instead of being negative about other people's success go and try and create your own!' And while it was always her ambition to follow in her parents Richard and Judy's footsteps and go into television, Chloe Madeley revealed she 'hates' being branded a nepo baby - and went as far as to describe it as a 'dirty word'. Speaking to Olivia Attwood on the latest episode of her podcast, So Wrong It's Right, Chloe said she finds it hard when people criticise her for being a child of nepotism. She said: 'Nepo baby is such a dirty word, and people don't realise how hard it is to hear that about yourself, when you're on the receiving end of it.'
