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.
