Clarkson's Farm's recently introduced farmhand, Harriet Cowan, has emerged as the show's new "favourite" after she posted several candid "behind the scenes" photographs from the series' latest instalment, released on May 23. , familiar for his tribulations on the farm, faced fresh hurdles with audience favourite Kaleb Cooper going on tour, prompting him to recruit Harriet's assistance, much to viewers' delight. The addition of the 24-year-old farm aide quickly charmed fans.
She's recently shared pictures on to offer a glimpse into day-to-day life through her shared snaps. Harriet's popularity has seen a surge with fervent calls for her to return in the next season, which is evident in the comments section.
One enthusiastic fan pleaded: "Big fan. Hope they bring you back on full time next season." Another added: "What a powerhouse you are and a huge inspiration to all our youngsters. Keep doing what you're doing. Hope to see more of you on our screens."
One more claimed: "You were awesome on Clarkson's Farm, incredible. We're big fans of the show. Let's hope they bring you back, but permanently - you took it up a notch!"
Meanwhile, someone else wrote: "I love nothing more than to see what you brought to the show. And I love the show, and I want to stay with the people, but I hope they add you on - you were what the show was missing."
Since her appearance on the show, Harriet, a dedicated nurse who also farms around her shifts, has shot to fame. She even graced an episode of the podcast "Should I Delete That", hosted by Alex Light and Emily Clarkson.
In a snippet from the interview posted on Instagram, Harriet discussed the often-ignored mental health issues in the farming community. "Loneliness among farmers is really common," Emily noted, prompting Harriet's agreement: "Yeah, yeah."
Harriet continued, highlighting the stoic nature of farmers: "There's so much. They don't talk about their emotions. In Derbyshire especially they'll just be like, 'You alright?' 'You alright?' [...] And that's that."
She pointed out the lack of deeper conversations, adding: "You don't really go up and be like, 'Is everything actually okay?' And no farmer will go, 'I'm really, really struggling. I've got so much on. I need help.'"
Harriet concluded with a powerful reminder and a simple nine-word plea to support British farmers: "Just buy British and be kind to a farmer."
Harriet was raised on her family's farm, assisting her father, Eddy, with livestock and land management. Despite being a nurse by profession, she is quite adept at farming.
She is frequently seen engaging in tasks such as hedge trimming and animal care. Although she has a deep passion for agriculture, she admitted that she had never watched an episode of Clarkson's Farm before being employed by contractor Charlie Ireland to assist at Diddly Squat.
Nevertheless, she has quickly become a favourite among viewers. Fans are already pleading for her return in the next series, with many hoping to see more of her on television in the future.
