Clarkson's Farm star Harriet Cowan, who receives around 500 marriage proposals a day, has revealed the three qualities she looks for in a man. The 25-year-old, who is reportedly set to spend £1.7 million on a Derbyshire farm with her boyfriend James Booth, shared her preferences in a recent Instagram post.
What Harriet looks for in a partner
In an Instagram post on Saturday (October 10), Harriet showed herself tackling various Diddly Squat Farm tasks, including helping deliver a baby lamb and operating a combine harvester. In the caption, she wrote: "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!"
Her post suggests she can only find contentment with a man who isn't afraid to roll up his sleeves and get stuck in. It's hardly surprising she ended up with a farming partner, given her background.
500 proposals a day
Harriet, who met James at Belper Young Farmers Club, is well accustomed to male admirers. She recently revealed she gets an impressive 500 marriage proposals on a daily basis.
"I must get about a thousand DMs a day and probably 50% are just men being like, 'I wish I could marry you'," she told the Telegraph in August. She added: "But it's all fun and games. The other 50% are young girls seeing me farming and thinking, 'I'd like to do what she does', and they're who I do it for."
New farm and book release
According to the Daily Mail, Harriet's potential new abode is understood to be close to the family farm where she first learned her trade. The property was reportedly put on the market for £1,765,000 after its previous owner died last year, with the sale said to be almost complete.
Last month, Harriet celebrated the release of her first book, Life on the Farm. "This book is so much more than farming," she said on Instagram upon its release. "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 went on: "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."
