She joined the beloved Amazon Prime reality show and instantly became a hit with Clarkson's Farm fans. Since then, Harriet Cowan has gone from strength to strength, transitioning from being Jeremy Clarkson's right-hand woman to becoming a freelance farmer. But what is the motoring journalist really like to work for?

Well, the blonde bombshell is set to reunite with her former co-stars at The Great British Farm Fest later this month, which blends serious agricultural insight with large-scale entertainment. Ahead of her upcoming appearance, the reality star has revealed what the former Top Gear host is like when the cameras aren't rolling.

She told us: "I know what a lot of people think about him: that he's very opinionated and says what he wants and isn't nice to people. But when you actually get to know him, he's completely different; he's such a nice bloke.

"The first day I got there, he said, 'If you need anything, just come and knock on the door, I'm always here' because he knew I was two-and-a-half hours away from home. Even now, he will keep in touch, and if I ever need any advice about fame, because that's the world we live in now, he's always there to give it to me, which is really nice."

On the brutally candid farming show, viewers get an insight into farming life at Diddly Squat Farm and his relationship with his long-term partner, Lisa Hogan. When reflecting on her time working in Chipping Norton, Cowan highlighted the Irish model's vital role in keeping the farm going during difficult times.

"I always say that Lisa is pretty much the life and soul of the party," she gushed. "If the farm's having a bad day, like it rained all day and you're down in the dumps, Lisa will definitely cheer you up. Whereas Jeremy is known for his wacky ideas and schemes that he thinks are going to help the farm.

"It's a hard place to work farming, but Lisa is the light and the energy of that farm; she brings the fun. Obviously, Jeremy, in his own way, has a laugh with you, and he loves all his inventions. But I think he likes the contrast between his way and Lisa's way; they really make it work."

Ahead of the festivities later this month, the TV star revealed she will reunite with Jeremy and the gang next week to catch up properly. When asked if fans could see her on the show in the near future, she teased: "Yeah, probably, I think it'll be as and when they need me. Never say never!"

Despite the struggles that come with the job, Cowan insisted that she wouldn't have it any other way and thanked Jeremy for allowing her to follow her dreams. She gushed: "After the show, I just decided to follow my dreams and do the things that I enjoy, which are farming and doing my social media.

"One day, I hope to own my own farm, and that's something which I wouldn't have been able to do if it weren't for Jeremy and the show. I'm so incredibly grateful."
