It comes after Jeremy Clarkson broke his silence on hiring his glamorous new farmhand HOT STUFF Clarkson's Farm star Harriet Cowan swaps wellies for a bikini as she heads off on holiday with friends Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CLARKSON'S Farm star Harriet Cowan has swapped her wellies for a bikini, as she enjoys a holiday with her friends. The Sun were the first to reveal Harriet's identity, after she appeared in the trailer for the new series of the smash hit show.

But her life away from Diddly Squat Farm is far more glamorous. In fact, she has revealed she is taking some time out from the humdrum of farm life and is enjoying a beach break away with some pals. Harriet looked stunning in her latest Instagram snap which saw her blowing up a lilo in a black and white printed bikini. She wore her long blonde hair in a pretty ponytail, and her tiny two piece showed off her incredible figure. JEREMY SPEAKS OUT Harriet was drafted to help deal with all the goings-on at Diddly Squat Farm after Jeremy's right-hand man Kaleb left him to head out on tour and pursue his media career. However, Jezza has since been keen to stress that the popular star has NOT been replaced, and will be returning. Earlier this month, Jeremy addressed the recent changes for the first time in an Instagram video. Speaking in one of his many fields, the former Top Gear star said: "There has been lots of reports that Kaleb has been 'replaced' - well, no he hasn't." Jeremy then went on to clarify the current set-up and just exactly why Harriet was brought into the farm and what Kaleb's future on the show looked like. Emotional moment Jeremy Clarkson holds back the tears thanking farmhand Harriet for 'saving his life' He continued: "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!" Jeremy's message confirmed that Kaleb would be back, after fears were raised by fans when the new trailer dropped. 7 Jeremy Clarkson recently addressed Harriet joining the team Credit: Instagram 7 The glam 24-year-old will appear in the new series of Clarkson's Farm Credit: Instagram/harrietcowan_x 7 Harriet can be seen with Jeremy in a trailer for the show Credit: YouTube BECOMING A STAR Despite only turning 24 earlier this year, Harriet is no stranger to the farming world.

She shared a video of the trailer to the new series on her Instagram account. Harriet then wrote alongside it: "Something exciting is coming on the 23rd of May."

Clarkson's Farm's Kaleb Cooper REPLACED by glam new farmhand in new series – as Jeremy's Top Gear co-star makes cameo
CLARKSON'S Farm star Kaleb Cooper has been REPLACED on the programme by a glamorous new assistant. The popular farmhand will be taking some time out from the brand new series of the Prime Video show which was filmed mostly during his The World According to Kaleb tour. 6 Jeremy has been forced to replace Kaleb on the new series of Clarkson's Farm Credit: PA 6 He has found himself a glam new assistant 6 But will she be able to live up to Kaleb's standards? Now, in a first look at the brand new series, set to debut on May 23, Jeremy will be forced to bring in some help after admitting that Kaleb has "left him in the lurch" pursuing a showbiz career away from Diddly Squat Farm. During a wet and dreary morning, Jezza can be seen struggling with the farming duties and quickly decides he needs to bring in some extra help. Doing a complete 180 from Kaleb, Jeremy decides to bring in a glamorous new assistant but things get off to a rocky start. Arriving for an interview with Jeremy, the young blonde farmhand is asked if she's watched Clarkson's Farm beforehand. Quietly replying "yeah," she quickly admits she hasn't and has no idea what she is signing up for. Despite this, Kaleb's replacement gets straight to work with Jeremy quickly remarking: "She's brilliant." In another scene, things get even more personal, as the glam new assistant asks: "Shall I trim your eyebrows?" Reacting in disbelief, he asks: "What's wrong with my eyebrows?" His new worker says: "Are you kidding?" Later, Jeremy can be seen reuniting with his Top Gear co-star Richard Hammond after joking that he is already in the programme before arriving for his visit to the farm. Prince William joins Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper in show of support to Britain's young farmers In the scene aired before, Jeremy can be seen making a quip about one of the new pigs on the farm in which he remarks they should call it "Richard Ham". Elsewhere in the series, which will drop over three instalments, fans will get to see the launch of Jeremy's popular Oxfordshire pub, The Farmer's Dog, and how he was able to open up the boozer in record time. But with disaster seemingly around every corner, from falling to ceiling to missing meals, viewers will see how he really pulled off the pub's launch against all the odds. The first four episodes of the fourth series will drop on Prime Video on Friday the 23rd May. A further two episodes will drop a week after that with the last remaining episodes dropping on the streaming service on the 6th of June.
