Clarkson's Farm star Harriet Cowan hits back at 'fake' claims with four-word response
Clarkson's Farm star Harriet Cowan has hit back at the show's "fake" claims with a four-word response.
The 24-year-old nurse and farmhand filled in for Kaleb Cooper in the fourth series of the hit Prime Video series.
She admitted to Jeremy Clarkson upon her arrival at Diddly Squat Farm that she hadn't watched an episode of the show.
"Well, you know on YouTube you get those 'shorts' where it's like funny moments? I've seen them. I ain't got time to watch all that," Cowan explained to the ex-Top Gear host.
She later clarified the authenticity of this exchange while chatting with Emily Clarkson on the podcast, Should I Delete That?, confirming: "It is so real".
Emily, aged 30, queried: "Do you ever sit down with your boyfriend and chill together, or eat together? It sounds impossible."
Harriet replied: "No, no. In the trailer where it's like, 'Have you watched Clarkson's Farm before?' And I'm like, 'No', it looked so fake," reports the Express.
"But it is so real because we don't watch telly. Literally, if we watch something, James will sit down, his head will hit the back of the sofa and he's asleep because the second he can rest, he'll sleep, because he's so tired all the time."
Harriet was brought onto the show by Jeremy, aged 65, after Kaleb took a break from the 1,000-acre Oxfordshire farm to embark on his tour, The World According to Kaleb.
In an upcoming preview, Jeremy shared: "I want to make it plain that I am absolutely thrilled to bits for Kaleb, but he has left me just a little bit in the lurch."
With speculation amongst fans that Harriet's involvement might signal a long-term absence for Kaleb, Jeremy has stepped in to allay those fears.
"There's been lots of reports that Kaleb has been 'replaced' - well, no he hasn't," Jeremy assured his followers.
"What happened is this: he went away on his speaking tour for a couple of months because he imagined that after four years I'd be able to manage on my own."
He continued: "And I didn't - I made a complete mess of everything and had to bring in a young farmer called Harriet. Harriet is brilliant and looked after the fort until he got back. That is it - that's the story!"

Why do farmers hate Clarkson's Farm so much?
Clarkson's Farm is back – with the finale of season four out on Prime Video today – but not everyone is happy about it. It's not the anti-farming brigade I'm talking about – or even the specific anti-Clarkson brigade, who've disliked him since his Top Gear days. No, it's the people within the rural and farming communities that I'm talking about. When the programme launched, it was heralded by many as something of a miracle for British agriculture. Clarkson's programme showed the people at home all the ups and downs of farming life in its brutal reality: the sheaves of inane paperwork; the incentives to actually not farm at all; the masochism of the British weather and the brutal acceptance that with life, comes death. As farmers always say, 'where there's livestock, there's deadstock', and Clarkson's Farm didn't shy away from showing viewers this truth. It might not all be entirely genuine, but it was far closer to the truth of life in the countryside than the likes of your average Countryfile episode. In fact, author and sheep farmer James Rebanks went so far as to say that Jeremy Clarkson had done more for farmers in one TV series than Countryfile managed in 30 years.

Anthony Martin bagged the keys to a stunning 17th century Cotswolds home - as well as £250,000 in cash. 16 Jeremy Clarkson has a new neighbour Credit: PA 16 Anthony Martin, 25, bagged the latest Omaze prize draw Credit: SWNS 16 A Clarkson's Farm fan has scooped a £5million Cotswold's house - and it's right next door to Jeremy Clarkson Credit: SWNS It came after the 25-year-old won the latest Omaze draw. The five-bedroom mansion, situated in sprawling countryside, boasts an outdoor heated pool. Anthony said: "I've been watching Clarkson's Farm and I can't believe he's going to be my neighbour now, it's just crazy. "At 25 I hadn't even considered owning so much as a garden shed yet, but now my first property is a £5 million house - it's so surreal." The jackpot winner, who lives in Cambridgeshire, bought his ticket for just £25. And, he only started entering the Omaze draws last month. Anthony has been working as a deckhand on yachts for the past year. He added: "I was backpacking in Spain when Omaze got in touch to tell me I'd won something. "I didn't have any credit on my phone, so I didn't see any of the missed calls or emails at first, but when I eventually topped up and saw all the messages, I started to think I might have won something pretty decent. "When Omaze actually called me to say I'd won the £5 million house in the Cotswolds, I was stunned. Musician wiped out on Who Wants To Be a Millionaire after using two lifelines on tough Spice Girls question - but would you know it? ''That's not a call you get everyday, I just couldn't believe it, I was in total shock. I had to call them back to make sure it was real. "One minute I'm staying in a hostel, in a 15-bed dorm, then the next thing I know I'm a multimillionaire-that was an unexpected upgrade for sure. "I had a couple of beers to celebrate, but nothing too wild as I had to be up early-not that it made much difference as I probably only slept for 20 mins, my mind was whirring trying to process what had just happened." The lavish property is even sweeter as it's mortgage free and has all legal fees covered. 16 Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm is just next door Credit: SWNS:South West News Service 16 The five-bed mansion boasts an outdoor heated pool Credit: SWNS 16 Anthony with his sister Misha at the stunning property Credit: SWNS 16 The pool area has it's own shower facilities and changing room Credit: SWNS 16 The bespoke kitchen comes fitted with state-of-the-art appliances Credit: SWNS 16 There's also a two-bed detached cottage on the grounds for guests Credit: SWNS Anthony has also been given an eye-watering £250,000 in cash, to help him decorate the home to his liking.

"This is my first time in the Cotswolds and I can see what all the fuss is about, it's beautiful around here," said Anthony. "The house is stunning, the walk-in fridge is bigger than my current kitchen… and that's just the fridge. "Everything has been done so nicely, I love it. I'm looking forward to diving into the pool and hosting all my friends and family in such an amazing house. "I've been working as a deckhand on yachts for the past year, so I'm more used to sleeping below deck in cramped bunk beds than places like this-I can stand up straight in this place for a start. "We'll be having a huge family Christmas here. There are around twenty of us and I'm normally the one who ends up sleeping on the floor, but now I'm guaranteed a bed as I'll be hosting everyone else for change. "I don't know what I'll do yet, I've got a lot to think about, but this win has changed my life forever-my future is sorted now, whatever I decide to do, it's an incredible feeling." The south-facing mansion comes with two reception rooms, exposed wooden beams and all the original fireplaces. A spacious bespoke kitchen and dining areas are already kitted out with state-of-the art appliances. The beautiful terrace leads on to a heated outdoor swimming pool, surrounded by stone decking. 16 The 25-year-old could rake in up to £18,000 per month if he chooses to rent the home Credit: SWNS 16 The mansion is flooded with natural light Credit: SWNS 16 There are two reception rooms Credit: SWNS 16 Exposed wooden beams add to the atmosphere of grandeur Credit: SWNS It also boasts its own changing room and shower facilities. And, if the main property wasn't enough, there's a two-bed detached cottage guest house too. The pristine landscaped gardens will also make for breathtaking views. As well as changing Anthony's life forever, this Omaze Million Pound House Draw raised £4.2 million for Guide Dogs. Over two million people in the UK are living with sight loss-a number projected to double by 2050. Andrew Lennox, CEO at Guide Dogs said: "We are truly overwhelmed that an incredible £4.2 million has been raised for Guide Dogs through the Omaze Million Pound House Draw. "Every day, 250 people in the UK begin to lose their sight-that's one person every six minutes. Without the right support, sight loss can be profoundly isolating. "Thanks to the generosity of the Omaze community, we can provide life-changing services that empower people with a vision impairment to live the life they choose. "The money raised will fund 1,350 puppies during their first eight weeks of life and cover the cost of expert care to their mums and dads. It will also fund a year's worth of food for all 3,200 working guide dogs. "With your support, Guide Dogs can continue opening up a world of opportunity for people with sight loss across the UK and each Omaze player of this draw who sees a guide dog at work in the next 10 years, will know that they had a hand in making that partnership a reality." James Oakes, President of Omaze, added: "Everyone at Omaze is over the moon that Anthony has won this spectacular house in the Cotswolds, whilst also contributing to our huge raise for Guide Dogs. "Omaze offers people the chance to win amazing houses, whilst also introducing charities to new audiences that they wouldn't normally reach-it's a real win-win for entrants and our charity partners. We're immensely proud that the Omaze Community has now raised over £93 million for good causes across the UK."

Clarkson's Farm fan wins £5m Omaze draw home next door to Jeremy
Anthony Martin, 25, was staying in a hostel before he scooped the keys to a 17th century, five-bedroom property - complete with period features, a heated outdoor pool and sweeping countryside views A Clarkson's Farm fan has just landed the ultimate prize - a £5 million Cotswolds home and £250,000 in cash, making him Jeremy Clarkson 's new neighbour. Anthony Martin, 25, scooped the keys to a 17th century, five-bedroom property complete with period features, a heated outdoor pool and sweeping countryside views. 'I've been watching Clarkson's Farm and I can't believe he's going to be my neighbour now, it's just crazy,' the lucky winner said. 'At 25 I hadn't even considered owning so much as a garden shed yet, but now my first property is a £5 million house - it's so surreal.' Born in Asia and now living with his family in Cambridgeshire, Anthony bought his winning entry for just £25 through his new Omaze subscription, which he only just signed up for last month. Until now, he had been working as a deckhand on yachts and said he is 'more used to sleeping below deck in cramped bunk beds, rather than mansions'. Anthony, who was backpacking in Spain when he got the news, added: 'When Omaze actually called me to say I'd won the £5 million house in the Cotswolds, I was stunned. That's not a call you get everyday, I just couldn't believe it, I was in total shock. I had to call them back to make sure it was real. 'One minute I'm staying in a hostel, in a 15-bed dorm, then the next thing I know I'm a multimillionaire - that was an unexpected upgrade for sure. I had a couple of beers to celebrate, but nothing too wild as I had to be up early - not that it made much difference as I probably only slept for 20 mins, my mind was whirring trying to process what had just happened.' The luxurious home comes mortgage free and with all legal fees covered and £180,000 worth of furnishings. Anthony also pocketed £250,000 in cash to help him settle in. He can move in, rent it out or sell up and become a multi-millionaire. If he opts to rent, local estate agents estimate it could fetch between £13,000 and £18,000 per month. He said: 'I don't know what I'll do yet, I've got a lot to think about, but this win has changed my life forever—my future is sorted now, whatever I decide to do, it's an incredible feeling. 'The house is stunning, the walk-in fridge is bigger than my current kitchen… and that's just the fridge! Everything has been done so nicely, I love it. I'm looking forward to diving into the pool and hosting all my friends and family in such an amazing house. 'We'll be having a huge family Christmas here. There are around twenty of us and I'm normally the one who ends up sleeping on the floor, but now I'm guaranteed a bed as I'll be hosting everyone else for change." Anthony's new Cotswolds home is the perfect blend of historic charm and modern luxury. The stone-built, south-facing property is drenched in natural light and packed with period features - mullion windows, exposed beams and original fireplaces - all paired with sleek contemporary comforts. Inside, the spacious layout includes two elegant reception rooms and a high-end, bespoke kitchen that opens out onto a sun-soaked terrace. Outside, there's a heated pool, stone decking, a changing room and shower facilities. There's also a self-contained, two-bed guest cottage, ideal for hosting friends and family. The grounds are equally impressive: landscaped gardens, a Roman well, a kitchen garden, and a footbridge leading to a private wildflower meadow and peaceful lake. As well as making Anthony a multimillionaire, the Omaze Million Pound House Draw, Cotswolds, raised £4.2million for Guide Dogs. Andrew Lennox, CEO at Guide Dogs said: 'We are truly overwhelmed that an incredible £4.2million has been raised for Guide Dogs through the Omaze Million Pound House Draw.

'The money raised will fund 1,350 puppies during their first eight weeks of life and cover the cost of expert care to their mums and dads. It will also fund a year's worth of food for all 3,200 working guide dogs.' The partnership with Omaze was backed by actor and Guide Dogs Ambassador, David Bradley. James Oakes, President of Omaze, said: 'Everyone at Omaze is over the moon that Anthony has won this spectacular house in the Cotswolds, whilst also contributing to our huge raise for Guide Dogs. 'Omaze offers people the chance to win amazing houses, whilst also introducing charities to new audiences that they wouldn't normally reach - it's a real win-win for entrants and our charity partners.
