Clarkson's Farm star Harriet Cowan has reportedly split from her boyfriend James Booth and is moving to her own farm in Derbyshire by herself. The 25-year-old, who appeared in series four of the Amazon Prime show, reportedly shared the news while replying to a follower on TikTok.
Confirmation of the split
Questions about the couple surfaced beneath Harriet's life update video, posted on Wednesday, November 11, when a fan pointed out James had been absent from her social media for some time. The Daily Mail reports that Harriet responded with a since-deleted comment confirming their separation and saying she would be taking on her next chapter alone.
The star reportedly wrote: "We've actually decided to go our separate ways, so I'm heading into this new chapter on my own! Sometimes life takes a slightly different direction than you planned, but I'm really happy, excited for the future and so ready to make this farm my own little dream!"
Harriet and James were childhood sweethearts who began their relationship in 2018 after meeting at Belper Young Farmers Club in Derbyshire. Reach PLC has contacted a representative of Harriet for comment.
New farm purchase
Harriet Cowan confirmed she had purchased her own farm in Derbyshire back in August this year, fulfilling what she described as a 'lifelong ambition'. Flatts Farm in Darley Bridge/Darley Dale (near Matlock and Bakewell) is situated approximately 20 minutes north of her family's farm in the Belper area.
The property covers around 100 acres of pasture and was marketed for £1.765 million. It comprises a three-bedroom detached farmhouse, a two-bedroom stone barn conversion, and agricultural land previously utilised for dairy and suckler beef farming. Harriet will now pursue farming full-time having stepped away from her nursing career.
Moving day announcement
Sharing her thoughts about the move on TikTok, she told her 864,000 followers: "In May 2025, Clarkson's Farm Series Four came out, and I sat in this very spot and came on here and talked to you guys about how overwhelmed I was with the response from the show. I thought my life was gonna change a bit, but I was still nursing, I lived in my little house, and life was good. It was good.
"Fast forward to today, I am 25. I have packed my whole life into boxes, and tomorrow I move to my new farm. I honestly, honestly couldn't have done anything that I have done today without having all of you guys there to support me. Life is about to become even more crazy."
She went on to say: "I am officially moving to a farm on my own, and I'm gonna try and take on the world of farming at 25, which is probably the scariest thing I've ever done in my whole life. But I have the best friends around me and the best family around me to help me. So I feel like I'm set.
"Like, what could go wrong is so crazy, and I'm so thankful for everything and everyone that has helped me and supported me and followed me and came out and met me at meet and greets and everything. I'm just so thankful. I actually can't believe it. So thankful to Clarkson's Farm. The whole team on there are like people that I will be friends with for the rest of my life."
Social media presence
Harriet has previously revealed her ideal type of man on social media. In October 2026, she jumped on the viral "Stop the wedding" trend on Instagram by sharing a clip of herself carrying out farm duties alongside the caption: "Stop the wedding. If he isn't covered in grease and oil and has dirt ingrained into his hands I don't want the life!".
She has also previously joked during interviews that since featuring on Clarkson's Farm, she receives approximately 1,000 direct messages a day, with roughly half being marriage proposals from male admirers.
