When Harriet Cowan joined Clarkson's Farm season 4 to help out on Diddly Squat, her presence ruffled some feathers for Kaleb Cooper.

At the time, Cooper was away on his book tour, and Clarkson was unable to cope with running the farm on his own and so drafted in Cowan.

Cowan was introduced as a full-time nurse and farmer, who had been farming her whole life, growing up on her family livestock farm, which was her grandad's and is now her dad's.

In season 3, when Cooper returned from his tour, it became clear he wasn't pleased by someone else on the farm.

In a new interview Cowan claimed that Cooper was "p****d off" by her presence on the farm, explaining that he "really was frosty" upon his return to the farm.

"I understand why he was p****d off. And I’m not going to lie, he was. But it wasn’t because of me as a person, or me as a woman. It was because he’d been away for so long on a tour bus," she told The Telegraph.

"He’s like me, he’s a homebody. Eight weeks driving around, not with family, or being on a tractor. Then you come home and find out someone else has been doing your job? I’d be p***** off."

But it's all water under the bridge as Cowan revealed they are "great" now.

She continued: "He just needed to get back into farming. The air cleared completely and we’ve worked together loads. We realised we’re both just farmers, and now we’re great friends."

As for whether she could return to Diddly Squat, Cowan told the publication she has no plans to, but is open to it.

Another instalment of Clarkson's Farm is on the way, after planning documents submitted to West Oxfordshire District Council (via The Independent) revealed that season 6 has been commissioned and could air in the summer of 2027.

A section of it reads: "Season five will air this year and season six has been commissioned and will air in summer 2027.

Clarkson himself also jumped the gun slightly when he revealed in his Sunday Times newspaper column that filming of the sixth season had been suspended because of the poor weather.
