Lisa Hogan, the girlfriend of Top Gear presenter turned farmer Jeremy Clarkson, has revealed the reason they still haven’t married.
The pair have been in a relationship for nine years, having officially become a couple in 2017 after an ‘extended period of courting’ from the Clarkson’s Farm figurehead.
Former actress and model Lisa, 51, now helps Jeremy, 65, run Diddly Squat, and appears on screen with him in all four seasons of the Amazon produced docu-series.
In this time, she and Jeremy have weathered tragedy (including the devastating loss of a litter of piglets) and the fury of their neighbours in the Cotswolds, who’ve hit back against Jeremy’s ever-expanding farm.
With the series having recently returned for a fourth outing, Jeremy and Lisa have their hands full with his latest venture – his new pub, the Farmer’s Dog.
Amid the chaos, Lisa remains Jeremy’s right-hand woman and resident farm shop boss. Although, after nine years, he still hasn’t popped the question.

In a new interview with the Daily Mail, Lisa speaks of the moment she met the journalist and TV presenter, at a party nine years ago.
Jeremy, she revealed, was always on her radar. ‘I used to let my son stay up to watch Top Gear, but I never really watched it myself. I knew him more from his writing. I always loved his columns,’ said Lisa, who recently celebrated her 51st birthday.
‘I thought he was bright – and probably amusing. And I think he thought I’d be amusing.’
The piece hints that she’s not truly ‘bothered’ that Jeremy hasn’t yet proposed – revealing that they both seems content with ‘being together 24/7’ anyway, while their children get on well.
Jeremy has three children from his previous marriage – daughters Emily and Katya, and son Finlo – as does she, in Elizabeth, Alice and Wolfe.

Lisa previously addressed the issue of marriage when questioned by Fabulous Magazine earlier this year.
‘Mrs Clarkson? No, thank you, I like Lisa Hogan. We decided not to have children together,’ Belfast Live report her as saying.
‘We’re at a stage where we are not going to have kids. I’m just happy pootling along. I think because of our age, it’s much easier. You go: “God, is it you I end up with? OK, that’s it.”
‘But it’s relaxing knowing you are not going to be with anybody else. It gives you a certain amount of liberation.’

Prior to her relationship with Jeremy, Lisa was married to Madrid-based art collector Baron Steven Bentinck, with whom she shares her three children.
After marrying in the 1990s, the couple split up in 2005 and finalised their divorce in 2011.
Jeremy, meanwhile, had been married twice prior to meeting Lisa. He was first married to Alexandra James from 1989 to 1990, and then Frances Cain from 1993 to 2014.
After meeting at a party hosted by friends, Jeremy and Lisa hit it off, and began dating after an extended courting period.
‘It was quite a long courtship, as I didn’t know where he was in his life. And I wasn’t ready to start dating again; didn’t want to go out with anyone,’ she once told The Times.
‘He had to court me for three months.’

Lisa gave a cheeky insight into the reality of her relationship with Jeremy during a recent episode of Clarkson’s Farm, joking about his sexual prowess as they welcomed a new pig to the farm.
As new farmhand Harriet took the time to point out the female pigs’ ‘little clitoris’ to her boss, Jeremy was taken aback.
‘Pigs have clitorises?’ Jeremy replied. ‘I didn’t know that this morning. There has been no morning in the last 63 years that I’ve known that.’
Harriet later shared the exchange with Lisa, who joked that Jeremy ‘can’t find it either.’
She then turned to Jeremy and asked: ‘Do you not know what a clitoris looks like? Have you never found one? You’ve never seen one? It’s the start of the vagina, love.’
Series 4 of Clarkson’s Farm is streaming now on Amazon Prime Video.
