Jeremy Clarkson's Farm star Harriet Cowan shares rare snap of long-term partner
Harriet Cowan has been a huge hit with fans of Clarkson's Farm, with many praising the 24-year-old's passion for farming and her dedication to show how women can thrive in male-dominant industries Harriet Cowan, the fresh face on 'Clarkson's Farm', has spilled the beans on her romantic life. People have been curious about the 24-year-old's life off-screen ever since she appeared on the Amazon Prime show. Joining the latest series, Harriet has been a major help to ex-'Top Gear' host Jeremy Clarkson at Diddly Squat Farm, particularly when fan-favourite Kaleb Cooper headed off to work on various projects across the UK. Viewers have been cheering for nurse turned farm worker, marvelling at her passion for rural living and ambition to demonstrate that 'girly girls' like her can handle tractors and livestock as competently as her male counterparts. Nevertheless, her time on the programme was short-lived because of Kaleb's return, which left her new-found fans yearning for more. Yet, her online video shares let followers stay tuned into her daily adventures, drawing in millions of views. Then, last night [June 19], Harriet dropped a bit of personal news on her TikTok page as she introduced her beau James Booth to followers. A recent cosy snapshot was shared alongside a throwback pic from their teen days at 18. Harriet expressed: "From party teenagers in 2018, to mid-to-late 20s in 2025 and like to be in bed before 10. I hope I get to this life with you forever." Harriet and her beau James, who is said to be a third-generation farmer, first crossed paths at a Young Farmer's meeting. Harriet often gives her followers a peek into their life together via social media. In one of her recent posts, she shared a clip of James behind the wheel of a tractor, hinting that he is four years her senior. In another post, she mused: "The 'butterfly effect' is crazy because if I didn't join Young Farmers we'd never have met." She continued: "YFC gave me my whole life and for that I will be forever grateful!" Harriet also urged others to consider joining community groups, promising they will "meet the greatest people". Her followers were delighted to see the couple together. One commented: "Wishing you both eternal happiness," while another added: "You two are so cute,". One follower, who has been in a relationship for a similar duration, shared: "Me and my partner begun our relationship in 2018 too! 7 years, 1 dog, 2 kids and two homes later, we made it." Some fans hinted at wedding bells, too. One joked: "Buddy needs to put a ring on your finger." And another cheekily asked: "When's the wedding?." Aside from her love life, Harriet has been concentrating on her own business since her stint on the show. Recently, she directed her 493,000 Instagram followers to her new contracting page, Cowan Contracting. The description of the page reads: "Cowan Contracting ~ family business. Eddy Cowan / Harriet Cowan. Contracting needs over Derbyshire. Based in Belper." However, fans hope she'll leave some time to come back to our screens. After the new Clarkson's Farm episodes aired, one fan begged: "Harriet was amazing, brought so much to the show, please bring her back." Another commented: "Please bring Harriet back, she was a fantastic addition." And a third chimed in with praise, saying: "Thought she was such a hard worker, bless her."

Is ‘Clarkson's Farm' returning for season 5? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 20, 2025, 19:30 IST Last updated June 20, 2025, 12:27 IST Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm has become a phenomenon on Amazon Prime Video, blending raw farming life with laugh-out-loud moments and a surprising dose of heart. After Season 4's rollercoaster of muddy fields, stubborn goats, and pub chaos, fans are itching to know: Will there be a Clarkson's Farm Season 5? Here's everything we know so far. Has Clarkson's Farm Season 5 Been Greenlit? Good news: Clarkson's Farm Season 5 is happening. Amazon Prime confirmed the renewal on November 5, 2024, with Jeremy Clarkson dropping the bombshell in a video where drones spelled out a giant '5' over Diddly Squat. Filming is in full swing, with Lisa Hogan, Jeremy's partner, posting glimpses of the crew hard at work. A recent X post from @DiddlySquatter caught Lisa joking about a newborn lamb stealing the show, hinting that the cameras are rolling on some adorable chaos. When Can We Expect Clarkson's Farm Season 5? No official release date yet, but let's piece together the clues. Past seasons dropped in June (Season 1), February (Season 2), and May (Seasons 3 and 4). Filming is ongoing, and editing takes time, so a May 2025 release floated by some fans on X seems optimistic. I'd bet on late spring or early summer 2026—think May or June—for the premiere. The production team's tight-lipped, but Lisa's updates suggest they're pushing hard to wrap filming soon. Could This Be the Final Season? There's a rumor swirling that Season 5 might be the end. Jeremy's hinted at needing a break, telling fans at a Q&A that he's 'not sure' about more seasons unless something big changes. Some think a Kaleb-led spin-off or yearly specials could follow, especially since Clarkson's become a surprising voice for farmers. Nothing's set in stone, but the show's massive following might convince Amazon to keep it going. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

'I learned a valuable lesson after visiting Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm'
'I learned a valuable lesson after visiting Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm' It's no secret that Jeremy Clarkson is a very hands-on farmer and loves to meet his fans, but unfortunately for one adventurer they didn't get the chance to see him in action Jeremy Clarkson announces Season 5 of Clarkson's Farm is in production As a devoted fan of Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm show, I was thrilled at the prospect of visiting the famed Oxfordshire site and perhaps even catching a glimpse of the former Top Gear presenter himself. According to steadfast fans who have had the pleasure of meeting Jeremy, he is said to be an extremely welcoming host, often willing to pose for a photo or two with fortunate visitors to his farm, when he is around. I was over the moon when my partner surprised me with a memorable birthday present - a quick weekend getaway to the Cotswolds, including an overnight stay in the idyllic town of Chipping Norton. This was the perfect chance to see the much-loved farm in all its splendour and possibly even mingle with some of the show's stars, including Gerald and Kaleb Cooper, who, despite sharing a surname, are not related. As enthusiastic walkers and fans of Jeremy's show, we were keen to make the most of our brief two-night stay, setting off early on Saturday morning for the two-and-a-half-hour car journey to ensure we didn't waste a single moment, reports Surrey Live. I didn't sadly get to meet Jeremy on person Article continues below Unfortunately due to torrential rain and cold weather, our plans to visit the Diddly Squat Farm Shop first were put on hold. Little did we know, this last-minute change would turn out to be the biggest mistake of our entire trip. We had neglected to check if Jeremy's Farm was actually open before rearranging our schedule due to the poor weather. To our disappointment, we discovered upon arrival the next day that his well-known establishment is closed to the public on both Mondays and Tuesdays. A quick pit stop in Castle Combe village before the rain came As we navigated country lanes, it dawned on us that Jeremy's farm was significantly more remote than anticipated, and despite warnings of likely congestion, we were elated to seemingly bypass any tailbacks. Article continues below However, our arrival at the cherished Diddly Squat Farm was met with a deserted car park and a mere rope signifying the farm was "closed". Fortunately, the journey wasn't entirely in vain as we achieved the coveted Diddly Squat Farm sign photo for Instagram, remarkably without another soul in sight. Clarkson's Farm is available to watch on Prime Video.

Jeremy Clarkson's girlfriend Lisa Hogan sacked for being 'naughty'
Jeremy Clarkson's girlfriend Lisa Hogan sacked for being 'naughty' Jeremy Clarkson's girlfriend Lisa Hogan is known for her role on the Prime Video series Clarkson's Farm, with the show having returned for a fourth season last month Lisa Hogan stars alongside Jeremy in Clarkson's Farm (Image: Getty Images ) Lisa Hogan from the Amazon Prime Video hit Clarkson's Farm has revealed she was sacked in the past after customer gripes. Well-known for her role alongside her partner, Jeremy Clarkson, on his Diddly Squat Farm in Oxfordshire, Lisa often appears at the helm of farm operations. The fourth season dropped on the streaming platform in May, introducing viewers to new episodes. This season sees Jeremy navigating farm life solo while Lisa shifts focus to developing a product range, and Kaleb Cooper sets off on a national tour. As temporary help joined the farm, it gave Jeremy a chance to ponder, leading him to pursue his ambition to own a pub, reports Gloucestershire Live. Lisa, typically seen taking charge at the farm, admits she hasn't always been as lucky with pubs. "I was fired from a bar in Australia. Some people had ordered a bottle of wine, and I couldn't get the cork out, so I put the bottle between my legs, and pulled," Lisa said. After receiving some provocative remarks from male customers, she responded in kind. This led to complaints and her subsequent dismissal. Lisa also commented on Jeremy's penchant for challenging business choices: "Jeremy seems to specialise in picking ventures that are notoriously hard to make a living from. He had it all worked out. He had the brewery. He had the animals. He'd grown the vegetables. It was a breeze. Article continues below "Verbally, yes, it is a breeze, but then we wouldn't do anything if we knew what lay ahead, would we? So, he does like a challenge. It's his nature to be constantly annoyed and p***** off at things. So owning a pub is a manna from heaven for him. He loves a good moan." Lisa had creative input on the new project, as the pair enlisted varied specialists to help them launch their pub. After acknowledging the lost sleep and hurdles hw faced with the pub, Jeremy devised an ingenious tactic to expand the establishment without incurring excessive costs. Article continues below "We took out the Grand Tour tent, which had been sitting in storage. It has such a great vibe inside, and so light and beautiful," said Lisa. "Compared to the farm shop, there's loads of space. The customers aren't there to judge - they just want a little bit of Diddly Squat to rub off on them."

'I went to Jeremy Clarkson's pub, here's what my €93 Sunday lunch bill got me'
If you've spent any time scrolling through streaming options lately, chances are you've come across Clarkson's Farm - the Amazon Prime series following Jeremy Clarkson's unlikely adventure in farming. It's become a bit of a cult hit here in Ireland with viewers loving its mix of humour, heartbreak and authentic rural life. Many Irish fans have probably found themselves daydreaming about visiting Clarkson's patch of the English countryside, especially given Jeremy's own Irish connection through his girlfriend Lisa Hogan, who also features on the show. To find out what it's really like to visit the famed Diddly Squat Farm and its new pub venture, one reporter from the UK's Mirror went along for a Sunday lunch. Below, Steffan Rhys shares his full experience of the buzz, the food and why Clarkson's farm is more than just a TV show. I never anticipated falling head over heels for Clarkson's Farm. To my own surprise, the huge Amazon Prime Video hit has become my latest obsession and, late to the party, I'm devouring the series at a rate of around one episode a day. It's a thoroughly charming show - it's funny, sad (the piglets episode springs to mind - those who've seen it will understand what I mean), engaging and educational. But the cherry on top might just be witnessing Jeremy Clarkson himself falling in love with farming with all its triumphs and tribulations. A major thread of the series so far (I'm halfway through series three) has followed Clarkson's dogged pursuit to launch a farm-to-fork restaurant at Diddly Squat Farm, aiming to plate up his own home-grown meat and vegetables alongside produce from neighbouring farms. However, facing resistance from the council and some locals, he ditches the dream for a fresh venture, saying: "We thought instead of building a restaurant we would buy a pub." And so, The Farmer's Dog was born, roughly 10 miles south of the farm at the side of the A40 in Oxfordshire. One thing that really seemed to annoy council officials and some neighbours of Clarkson's original farm shop was the huge number of people visiting, clogging up the surrounding roads and parking on grass verges. So I was expecting it to be busy. But I wasn't expecting this. I've been to smaller music festivals. There was a full-blown security and parking operation guiding arrivals into an enormous adjacent field with hundreds, if not thousands, of cars already parked in it. Visitors streamed like ants in formation between car park and pub and the stunned "bloody hell!" I heard from a fellow visitor pretty much sums up what I was thinking too. I'd naively thought that, given I had a lunch reservation (secured easily, several weeks earlier, on the pub website) it would be a quiet affair. After all, only so many people can fit in a pub, right? Wrong. Oh, so wrong. The first signs that we were not just out at an average local pub for Sunday lunch came a few hundred yards from our destination when the queues of cars and motorbikes started. Stewards in high-vis jackets directed us to a nearby field where, despite the numbers, we got a parking space easily (the queues on the road were short-lived too, to be fair, and I didn't even come close to losing my rag). Once parked, it was a short walk across the road to the pub. The place was buzzing with activity, with scores of people queuing outside the pub, perhaps hoping to snag a walk-in table, grab a pint or snap a quick photo. Fortunately, with a reservation, we were able to bypass the line, thanks to a dedicated staff member who expertly ushered us to the front. As we had arrived an hour ahead of our lunchtime booking, we decided to explore the pub's surroundings, which included a spacious shop, an outdoor bar, and an expansive beer garden. Thousands of patrons were soaking up the sunshine, perched on wooden benches or lounging on the grass, savouring a pint of Jeremy Clarkson's signature Hawkstone beer and taking in the breathtaking views of the Cotswolds countryside that the TV personality is so enamoured with. The on-site shop offered a range of products, including crates and gift packs of the beer, as well as jams, marmalades, honey, candles and branded merchandise. There was a butcher too. I ended up purchasing a crate of lager (£28 [€32.80] for 12 bottles) and a £12 [€14] jar of honey harvested from the bees on Diddly Squat Farm. A few minutes shy of our 1pm lunch reservation, we made our way back to the pub entrance, where we were promptly directed to head inside and track down a man by the name of John ("he looks like me but he's bald and he loves Welsh people"). Easy to spot, John led us to our table - arguably the best spot in the pub. It was nestled in a cosy corner right next to the glass doors that opened onto the expansive outdoor terrace. So, we had the best of both worlds - a view of the entire interior and the fresh breeze and sunlight from outside. It was perfect. Much like Clarkson does on his hit Amazon Prime show (being here, I was beginning to grasp how much of a hit it really was), the pub advertises its support for local farms. A chalkboard on the wall credits local farmers Vanessa Hartley and Nick Sinden, as well as Rectory Farm, among their current suppliers. We ordered a pint of Hawkstone Black stout (£7 [€8.20]) and a half-pint of Hawkstone lager (£3.50 [€4.10]). They were fantastic, and as we waited for our food, we watched the staff bustling around the busy pub, carrying plates heaped with generous and appetising Sunday roasts, occasionally stepping over a dog lounging at its owner's feet. There was a pianist serenading us from a grand piano near the entrance, a constant queue at the bar for drinks, and an infectious feel-good vibe permeating the whole place. Everyone seemed thrilled to be there, myself included. My starter, a plate of cold-smoked Bibury trout (£11.50 [€13.50]), was gorgeos - thick slices of flavourful trout that outshone any smoked salmon I've ever tasted. Having visited the local Bibury trout farm just two days prior made it all taste even better somehow, as did the accompanying horseradish cream and watercress salad. For my main, I opted for the dual-meat option featuring beef and pork (£26 [€30.50]), the only two meats available. They came with whole roasted potatoes, roasted carrots and parsnips, spring greens, red cabbage, cauliflower cheese, Yorkshire pudding, and a stout-based gravy. It's challenging to articulate how one excellent pub Sunday roast is better than another so I won't try too hard. This one was generous, tasty and largely faultless (I could probably have done with a drop more of the delicious gravy). There was also a single meat option for £2 [€2.35] less, and vegetarians could enjoy a Wye Valley asparagus dish with pea pearl barley and a poached egg. However, there didn't seem to be any options for vegans, which may or may not have been intentional given the owner. Despite being too stuffed for dessert, we couldn't help but admire the Eton mess (£10.50 [€12.30]) and poached rhubarb crumble cake served with Cotswolds ice cream (£10.50 [€12.30]) that were whisked past our table. Both looked tempting. Our meal was polished off within the hour, and the bill for two mains, a starter, and a couple of drinks totalled £80 [€93.80] (service included). Before departing, I took a moment to absorb more of the venue's unique atmosphere, venturing upstairs (which was also packed), and finally spotting the full-sized tractor suspended from the ceiling above the pianist that I'd somehow overlooked upon entering. Jeremy Clarkson and Amazon Prime have created a phenomenon. But don't let that put you off. The queue for the car park was no more than a few minutes at most and that was the only waiting we did. Thanks to our reservation, we were straight in through the front door and we didn't need to queue at the shop for our beer and honey either. My over-riding impression of the huge crowd was how happy we all were to be there. If you wanted a beer (inside or outside) or something from the butcher, you should probably expect a queue, but that's pretty much it. I felt a bit guilty about being one of the hordes of people taking over what was presumably a quiet and anonymous part of Oxfordshire 12 months ago, but reports suggest most people in the area are happy to have the pub. I'm glad I went and will remember it for a long time. Pubs aren't only about food, they're about how they make you feel. And I loved every second of this trip.
