Cowan’s emotional message read: “2025, WHAT A YEAR IT WAS! A year I’ll never forget, met some amazing people and friends, involved lots of what I like best. Got to work with some experienced farmers and some less experienced farmers, travelled all around England visiting farms and county shows!”

She continued by expressing her gratitude to everyone who had supported her along the way: “A big thanks to everyone for supporting farmers this year. Let’s hope next year is just as good!”

Her post was met with an outpouring of love from her followers, with many fans commenting on how much they enjoyed her time on the show and how they hoped to see more of her in the future. Cowan’s candid reflection on her journey revealed the emotional depth behind her role, showing that the experience had meant more to her than just working on a farm for a reality show.

When asked about the possibility of returning to Clarkson’s Farm in the future, Cowan had previously stated on BBC Breakfast News that the door was always open. “We’ve always left it very open. I’m here if he needs me, but no plans at the minute. If he needs me, I’m here,” she said, leaving fans hopeful for her return in future seasons.
