Clarkson's Farm star Harriet Cowan has hit back at the show's "fake" claims with a four-word response. The 24-year-old nurse and farmhand filled in for Kaleb Cooper in

the fourth series of the hit Prime Video series. She admitted to Jeremy Clarkson upon her arrival at Diddly Squat Farm that she hadn't watched an episode of the show. "Well, you

know on YouTube you get those 'shorts' where it's like funny moments? I've seen them. I ain't got time to watch all that," Cowan explained to the ex-Top Gear

host. She later clarified the authenticity of this exchange while chatting with Emily Clarkson on the podcast, Should I Delete That?, confirming: "It is so real". Emily, aged 30,

queried: "Do you ever sit down with your boyfriend and chill together, or eat together? It sounds impossible." Harriet replied: "No, no. In the trailer where it's like,

'Have you watched Clarkson's Farm before?' And I'm like, 'No', it looked so fake," reports the Express. "But it is so real because we don't watch

telly. Literally, if we watch something, James will sit down, his head will hit the back of the sofa and he's asleep because the second he can rest, he'll sleep, because he's

so tired all the time." Harriet was brought onto the show by Jeremy, aged 65, after Kaleb took a break from the 1,000-acre Oxfordshire farm to embark on his tour, The World According

to Kaleb. In an upcoming preview, Jeremy shared: "I want to make it plain that I am absolutely thrilled to bits for Kaleb, but he has left me just a little bit in the lurch." With

speculation amongst fans that Harriet's involvement might signal a long-term absence for Kaleb, Jeremy has stepped in to allay those fears. "There's been lots of reports that

Kaleb has been 'replaced' - well, no he hasn't," Jeremy assured his followers. "What happened is this: he went away on his speaking tour for a couple of months

because he imagined that after four years I'd be able to manage on my own." He continued: "And I didn't - I made a complete mess of everything and had to bring in a young

farmer called Harriet. Harriet is brilliant and looked after the fort until he got back. That is it - that's the story!" CLARKSON'S FARM IS AVAILABLE TO STREAM ON PRIME VIDEO
