Clarkson’s Farm star Harriet Cowan has taken a playful swipe at her former co-star Jeremy Clarkson .
The farmer and nurse, 25, was drafted in by Clarkson, 65, during the series four premiere to help out at his 1,000 acre Diddly Squat Farm in Oxfordshire while farm manager Kaleb Cooper was away .
She won over fans with her down-to-earth attitude and no-nonsense responses to Clarkson , even admitting she had never watched the Amazon Prime series before appearing in it .
Cowan stayed true to her stance while reflecting on her time on the show, telling The Times: “If a bloke thinks he knows better than me and starts talking s***, I’ll tell him so.”
She added: “When I was on Clarkson's Farm telling Jeremy what I thought, that was the real me.
It wasn't put on for the cameras.”
During her introductory scene on Clarkson’s Farm last year, Cowan admitted she’d never actually watched a full episode of the hugely popular farming series.
“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," she told a stunned Clarkson.
Clarkson then gave Cowan a tour of the farm and pointed out a Neolithic fort that was “4000 years old”, prompting Cowan to quip: “Nearly as old as you.” She later attempted to trim Clarkson’s bushy eyebrows.
Since appearing on the show, Cowan has been praised for challenging sexist and outdated stereotypes about women in farming.
Cowan said that when she told the man she was a nurse and a farmer, he responded: “Wait, you're a woman farmer?
You mean you’re a farmer's wife?”

She responded: “I am a farmer.”
“When the war was on, women did all the farming, so we have always farmed - it's just changing that stereotype.”
Cowan celebrated a major career milestone earlier this year when she bagged her own Channel 4 show called Tiny Farmers, in which four children learn about farming, hen welfare and egg production.
The nurse is joined by comedian Jessica Knappett on the show, which launched on the TV channel's YouTube channel in January.
The series focuses on educating families about free-range farming through fun challenges.
