Is Clarkson's Farm newbie Harriet Cowan the show's secret weapon? Jeremy's 'brilliant' new farmhand was brought in to 'hold the fort' - but could pose a threat to 'missing' Kaleb Cooper
Diddly Squat fans will be introduced to Clarkson's Farm newbie Harriet Cowan when season four hits screens on Friday (May 23).
The new farmhand, 24, has been described as 'brilliant' by her co-stars and seems to have kept things running smoothly while Kaleb Cooper, who has been a staple on the show since it began in 2021, was temporarily away on a tour.
Kaleb often helps former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson, 65, with various tasks on Diddly Squat Farm, but with Harriet's success so far, could she be the show's new secret weapon?
Harriet initially shocked fans when she first appeared in the trailer for the upcoming season and wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty.
The full-time nurse and farmer hasn't failed to impress her colleagues either and has set about doing jobs Kaleb perhaps wouldn't typically do, including trimming Jeremy's eyebrows.

Despite rumours he had left Clarkson's Farm, Kaleb confirmed on Thursday during an interview on This Morning that he was still very much a part of the show and didn't hold back on complimenting Harriet's work so far.
'I'm still involved, there's lots of rumours going about that I've been replaced but I'm still here, Harriet stepped in as I jumped away on tour, I'm very grateful that Harriet came along and saved the day,' he said.
The farmer added Jeremy 'shouldn't be trusted alone on the farm, he's getting better but there are loads of things he still can't do'.
Season's four trailer has revealed some of what Harriet gets up to on the farm and she is introduced when Jeremy says, 'While Kaleb's away, I'm going to need a hand.'
Though the young farmer admits she has never watched Clarkson's farm, she doesn't fail to impress.
The trailer showed Jeremy running into several obstacles and Harriet made a good impression as she was quick to help.
She was also shown installing fences, loading feed for the animals and even her welding.
Jeremy gushed over Harriet in a video on Instagram earlier this month and described her as 'brilliant' too.

He clarified: 'There has been lots of reports that Kaleb has been 'replaced' - well, no he hasn't.'
Jeremy added: '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.
'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!'
The show's newcomer seems to be a natural to helping out on the land, and it may be due to her upbringing.
Harriet grew up tending to her father's farm and is now a full-time farmer and nurse.
She revealed on social media that her mother wanted her to become a nurse but her father wanted her to follow in his footsteps - so she opted to do both.
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'.
The rising star is in a relationship with fellow farmer James, with the pair cosying up together for a slew of sweet social media snaps.
Clarkson's Farm series one to three are available to stream exclusively on Prime Video.
Series four will air from May 23, with two additional episodes released a week later on May 30, followed by the final two on June 6.

Salman Rushdie says he's ‘over' vicious knife attack
Salman Rushdie believes authors should worry about AI when it can write funny books, stating AI currently lacks a sense of humor. Speaking at the Hay Festival, Rushdie admitted he has never tried using AI and prefers to ignore its existence. The event marked Rushdie's most high-profile UK appearance since the 2022 on-stage stabbing in the US, with heightened security measures in place. Rushdie mentioned it was important for him and his wife to revisit the site of the attack, and he expressed being "over" the incident. Rushdie has faced threats since the 1988 publication of ' The Satanic Verses,' which led to a fatwa calling for his execution by Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini.

EastEnders fans predict recast after huge character is rumoured to return – and it's a familiar face
EASTENDERS fans reckon a recast is on the cards with a very familiar face taking over. BBC viewers are convinced a legendary Walford resident is making a comeback. 4 4 EastEnders favourite Max Bowden is set for a dramatic return as Ben Mitchell - months after his shock exit from the soap. The actor, who played the troubled Mitchell for five years, left Albert Square last year after Ben was extradited to the US for credit card fraud. The Sun has revealed Max could be back on screen sooner than fans think, with bosses lining him up for a guest stint - and a possible full-time comeback on the cards. A source said that the soap's new producer Ben Wadey had a "list of characters he wanted to bring back" after taking over from Chris Clenshaw, with Ben Mitchell being one of them. But fans think the next actor to play Ben should be Daniel Delaney, the actor who portrayed a younger version of Phil in two spin off episodes. Taking to Reddit, one fan wrote: "Not only is he the spitting image of Steve McFadden but he's also a fantastic young actor too. "It wouldn't be the first time someone has played two characters in the same show either." Daniel Delaney played a younger Phil Mitchell in the flashback episodes during Phil's psychosis storyline. The actor was praised for both his resemblance to Steve McFadden and his powerful performance. The episode even won the award for Best Single Episode at this year's British Soap Awards. Coronation Street and Emmerdale humiliated at British Soap Awards as rival soap wins EIGHT gongs EastEnders managed to secure a total of eight wins in its 40th anniversary year. Meanwhile, addressing his EastEnders exit last year, Max Bowden admitted he was suffering from burnout and knew it was time to step away. 'The important thing was my time was ready. I was very tired, and like I said, I wasn't me, I wasn't,' he said candidly. 'The Max sat in front of you today was kind of a ghost - and they recognised that. I recognised that.' He continued: "I did nearly six hundred episodes in five years, which is a hell of a lot, and it was time for a rest. "The character was tired, I was tired, they [the producers] were probably tired of me being tired. "From an honest perspective, I think yeah, a lot of it was that I needed to go for a bit. "I needed to go work on me, get myself back to a place of really good mental health, focus on healing and also be a dad." 4
