Following her instant fame, she has set up a private company called Farmfluence, incorporated on July 1. Its nature of business is listed as "motion picture, video and television programme post-production activities" and Harriet is the sole director/shareholder. PR expert Lynn Carratt has speculated on just how she could earn in the future. Speaking to The Sun, she told us: 'Harriet has around 1.2 million followers across Instagram and TikTok. "If she is savvy she could rake in £500,000 in the next 12 months.' If that wasn't enough she has also signed to top talent agency Off Limits Entertainment, which has helped lots of reality stars including Love Island hunk Chris Hughes. It was previously revealed that she had already landed a brand deal with Country Moos ahead of the show - a sock company dedicated to cow-designs. Harriet has become very popular on Instagram, and has been teasing fans with snippets of her life away from Clarkson's Farm.

Meanwhile, Jeremy recently clarified why Harriet was brought onto the farm as speculation mounted over Kaleb's future. He said: "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. " I didn't - I made a complete mess of everything and had to bring in a young girl called Harriet. "Harriet is brilliant and looked after the fort until he got back. "That is it - that's the story!" Fans are desperate to know if Harriet will remain on the farm when Kaleb returns and, so far, she's keeping coy, telling them: "Hmm we will have to see."

Fearne Cotton breaks silence on marriage split and she gives health update after surgery At the time, The Sun understood Jesse moved out while Fearne remained in the family home in West London. Earlier this year, Fearne admitted life was tough following her marriage breakdown. Yet The Sun previously revealed Fearne, 43, has found love again with TV director Elliot Hegarty.

She admitted to rowing with him in front of their children as a result of being 'stuck within four walls trying to survive'. Fearne said of their rowing antics: 'I am a very fiery person, and Jesse can also be quite fiery. We've certainly argued in front of the kids. Most parents have at some point. It's not regular but we have definitely had a pop at each other in front of them — and you don't feel good about it after. I've also shouted at my kids like I think most parents have, especially during lockdown." July 2024 - Fearne and Jesse celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary and appear happier than ever by taking part in a Beckham-esque photoshoot by donning their original wedding attire. 3rd December 2024 - Fearne shares her shock at finding two benign tumours on her jawline that require immediate surgery. 13 December 2024 - Just 10 days later, Fearne confirms her marriage is over and that she has split from Jesse for good.

Elsewhere, resale sites like Viagogo, Vivid Seats, StubHub and Twickets are selling tickets for various dates with prices from £121, although fans should always bear in mind that many official sites, such as Ticketmaster and Live Nation, discourage the purchase of resale tickets.

However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs.

Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation.
