Clarkson's Farm star Harriet Cowan has declared 'stop the wedding' and named the type of man she would never date, insisting she only wants a partner covered in grease and oil with dirt ingrained into his hands.
The 25-year-old, who works as a nurse and influencer, shot to fame on series 4 of Jeremy Clarkson's Prime Video series, temporarily stepping in to replace farmer Kaleb Cooper. She has been in a relationship with farmer James Booth for several years after meeting him at Belper Young Farmers Club in her native Derbyshire.
Harriet's ideal man
In an Instagram post on Saturday (October 10), Harriet was seen carrying out several Diddly Squat Farm duties, including delivering a baby lamb and operating a combine harvester. "Stop the wedding," she wrote in the caption. "If he isn't covered in grease and oil and has dirt ingrained into his hands I don't want the life!"
Her comments follow a Telegraph interview in August where she revealed she receives around 500 marriage proposals per day. "I must get about a thousand DMs a day and probably 50 per cent are just men being like, 'I wish I could marry you'," she said.
Fan response and book release
Fans responded positively to the post, with one writing: "A new fan here, just discovered you on Clarkson's Farm... You and your like are a great advert for the UK... I wish you luck with all the hard work you do." A second said: "I'm with you Harriet," while a third added: "Hi from Australia. 61 years old Nan here - not only are you gorgeous you are so down to earth and refreshing."
Last month, Harriet celebrated the release of her first book, Life on the Farm. "This book is so much more than farming," she wrote on Instagram. "It's about the long days, the early mornings, the animals, the mud, the machinery, the moments that make you laugh until you cry and the ones that simply break your heart."
She added: "It's about nursing, farming, growing up, finding my feet, the people who have shaped me, and all the chaos that has somehow brought me to where I am today. Writing it meant looking back at parts of my life I hadn't thought about for years, sharing stories I never imagined I'd put on paper, and being more open than I probably ever expected to be. I wanted Life on the Farm to show the real side of this life - not just the pretty sunsets and cute calves, but the graft, the worry, the loss, the love and the absolute madness of it all."
