Clarkson’s Farm star opens up about ‘nasty accident’

Harriet Cowan from Derbyshire was a new addition to the cast in the latest season, which was released on Prime Video across May and June last year.

The 24-year-old temporarily stood in for long-time fan favourite Kaleb Cooper as he toured, helping Jeremy Clarkson at the farm in Chadlington, Oxfordshire.

She left midway through the series once her help was no longer needed, but became popular with viewers despite her short time on screen.

Back in February, Ms Cowan revealed that she was rushed to the hospital after chopping the end of her finger off.

On Instagram at the time, she said: “Sorry, I’ve been quiet.

“Been a c****y week, had a run in with a log splitter, chopped the end of my finger off, but a quick surgery, they stitched it back on.

“Lambing starts now. A big thank you to the amazing team at Pulvertaft Hand Clinic.”

Ms Cowan has now addressed the incident several months later in a piece with The Times published today (Wednesday, April 15).

“I had a nastyish accident earlier this year: a log fell out of the log splitter and landed on my finger, taking the top off,” she said.

“I won’t have a real nail on there, but I haven’t got one on the finger next to it either. A sheep pulled it off.”

Clarkson’s Farm is to return to screens next month on Prime Video with series five, which wrapped filming in September 2025.
