Joining the latest series, the 24-year-old former nurse has received an outpouring of praise online for her enthusiasm for farming, challenging stereotypes with her dedication to agricultural life.
Despite only featuring briefly on the Amazon Prime Video series due to Kaleb’s return, which left many fans wanting more, they’ve continued to follow Harriet’s rural adventures through her popular videos amassing millions of views.
In a recent TikTok update shared on June 19, Harriet introduced her partner, James Booth, to the world for the first time. Posting a photo of the couple looking blissfully happy, as well as a throwback to their younger selves at 18, Harriet reflected: “From party teenagers in 2018, to mid-to-late 20s in 2025 and like to be in bed before 10. I hope I get to this life with you forever.”
Harriet and her partner James, a third-generation farmer, initially crossed paths at a Young Farmer’s meeting. She frequently gives her followers a glimpse into their life together on social media.
In one recent post, she shared a video of James operating a tractor and hinted that he is four years her senior.
In another post, Harriet reflected on the circumstances of their meeting, saying: “The ‘butterfly effect’ is crazy because if I didn’t join young farmers we’d of (sic) never of met.”
She continued: “YFC gave me my whole life and for that I will be forever grateful!” Harriet encouraged others to consider joining community groups, assuring them they will “meet the greatest people”.

Aside from her relationship, Harriet has been concentrating on her own business ventures since her appearance on the show. She recently promoted her new contracting page, Cowan Contracting, to her 493,000 Instagram followers.
The page’s description reads: “Cowan Contracting ~ family business. Eddy Cowan / Harriet Cowan. Contracting needs over Derbyshire. Based in Belper.”
Their first post showcases a pair of vibrant red tractors set against a backdrop of the countryside, while the second displays a collection of photos and videos, including one where Harriet appears alongside her father.
