Harriet Cowan shares Jeremy Clarkson's 'true colours' when cameras were off

Harriet Cowan has revealed a telling moment where she believes Jeremy Clarkson displayed his genuine character while filming Clarkson's Farm. The hugely popular Prime Video series made its return to screens earlier this month as Jeremy Clarkson embarked on year five of his agricultural venture.

Throughout the years, he's received considerable assistance from specialists including veterinarians, wildlife experts, and neighbouring farmers who've provided as much support and advice as possible. Harriet Cowan became part of the Clarkson's Farm team as a temporary replacement for farm manager Kaleb Cooper during his absence on a speaking tour.

The former community nurse from Derbyshire swiftly captured viewers' hearts with her knowledge, sharp humour, and straightforward approach.

She discussed her farming experience in greater detail, particularly her time working alongside Jeremy Clarkson, on the Fed By Farmers Podcast with Cammy Wilson and Iona.

What Harriet Cowan's experience was like with Jeremy Clarkson on Prime Video's Clarkson's Farm

She revealed that the opportunity arose when Charlie Ireland contacted local farmers in the surrounding area to identify someone who could assist Jeremy during Kaleb's absence.

She noted that it appeared the production team were specifically seeking a woman to feature on the programme, and she accepted the position for 11 weeks.

The podcast hosts discussed Jeremy's blunt and forthright manner on the show with Harriet, who proceeded to share Jeremy's authentic nature with listeners. She said: "He's marmite isn't he. I love that guy, I think he just doesn't care which is great. He was like a father figure to me when I was there, he was really lovely."

Women in farming and Jeremy Clarkson's impact on inclusivity

She went on to discuss how inclusivity for women within the farming community is "better than it ever has been", crediting Clarkson's Farm as having played a significant role in driving that change.

She continued: "It's a lot better than it ever has been. I think there's certain things certain places certain people that they aren't happy with it, and I think before like Clarkson's people would be like she don't have a clue.
