Clarkson's Farm star Harriet Cowan splits from boyfriend

Clarkson's Farm star Harriet Cowan has reportedly split from her boyfriend James Booth as she prepares to move into her new farm alone, fulfilling a 'lifelong ambition'.

The 25-year-old, who appeared in series four of the Amazon Prime show, reportedly addressed their relationship in a reply to a fan on TikTok. A follower asked about James after spotting his absence from Harriet's recent social media posts. The question appeared in the comments on a video she shared on Wednesday (November 11), updating fans on her life.

Split Confirmed Online

The Daily Mail reports that Harriet replied with a now-removed comment confirming their split and indicating she would be embarking on her next chapter solo. The star apparently 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 started their romance in 2018 following a meeting at Belper Young Farmers Club in Derbyshire. Reach PLC has approached a representative of Harriet for comment.

New Farm and Full-Time Farming

Harriet Cowan revealed she had bought her own farm in Derbyshire back in August this year, achieving what she described as a 'lifelong ambition'. Flatts Farm in Darley Bridge/Darley Dale (near Matlock and Bakewell), located roughly 20 minutes north of her family's farm in the Belper vicinity, spans roughly 100 acres of grassland and was listed for £1.765 million.

The holding includes a three-bedroom detached farmhouse, a two-bedroom stone barn conversion, and agricultural land formerly used for dairy and suckler beef operations. Harriet will now dedicate herself to farming full-time having left her nursing profession behind.

Revealing her feelings about the transition on TikTok, she informed 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."

Emotional Move

"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 continued: "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."

Harriet has previously disclosed her perfect type of man on social media. In October 2026, she joined the viral "Stop the wedding" trend on Instagram by posting a clip of herself undertaking farm tasks with 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 appearing on Clarkson's Farm, she gets around 1,000 direct messages daily, with roughly half being marriage proposals from male fans.
