Jeremy Clarkson's girlfriend burst into tears over comment from his daughter
Jeremy Clarkson's girlfriend Lisa Hogan has been speaking lately about her life with the TV star, and a recent podcast has left her in tears over a comment Jeremy Clarkson's partner Lisa Hogan burst into tears after a comment made by his daughter, Emily. The 51-year-old former model and co-star on Amazon's Clarkson's Farm opened up about her life with the ex-Top Gear host, revealing that despite not being engaged, their blended family shares a close bond. Lisa explained that Emily, a social media influencer and author, has previously spoken about her own daughter in such a kind way in the past. She said: "Emily has this podcast called Shall I Delete That? and she spoke about my daughter in such a sweet way that I burst out crying. They've known each other for nine years, and I think they really care about each other." She also gave insights into Jeremy's personality away from the cameras, describing him as endlessly curious and brimming with energy, even over the smallest things. When discussing the prospect of marriage, Lisa expressed contentment with their relationship as it is, telling the Daily Mail:"Mrs Clarkson? No, thank you, I like Lisa Hogan. We decided not to have children together." She further explained their decision against expanding their family, emphasising their happiness with life as it stands: "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." With the new series of Clarkson's Farm hitting the screens, all eyes have been on Lisa and Jeremy's relationship, but it's Jeremy's health that's sparked even more concern following his heart surgery last year to fit two stents. Reflecting on the latest episodes, Jeremy observed how he appeared increasingly unwell as the series went on. Speaking to The Sun, Jeremy said: "You can see me becoming more and more ill as the days go on, because I just lose my sense of humour, lose my ability to stay calm. "I get in a proper old panic. I didn't know at the time. I knew I wasn't being me. Because if you don't sleep, it very quickly has an effect." The comments come after Lisa recently opened up about her clever trick to stop Jeremy from interrupting her during discussions. Speaking to the Mail on Sunday, she explained: "I've worked out that when he's wearing a mic, he can't interrupt me. So that's when I go for it." She explained she has discovered a way to avoid arguing with him, adding: "I'm more conniving than that. Why argue with someone like Jeremy? He's so eloquent. I have to be a bit more… nimble. I like the long-term diplomatic approach.' Lisa also gave insight into her partner's personality when the cameras are not rolling. She said: "He's always incredibly inquisitive. His mind is always on the move. He'll come in fizzing with energy about the smallest thing. I like that."

Jeremy Clarkson's Farm star Harriet Cowan's life off-screen including family feud
Harriet Cowan has taken on a new role in the fourth season of Amazon Prime Video's Clarkson's Farm, where she was lauded as a lifesaver by presenter Jeremy Clarkson. Newcomer Harriet Cowan, 24, has bid farewell to Diddly Squat farm where she stepped in as a pinch-hitter for Jeremy Clarkson during the fourth series of the show, adding a touch of glamour to the rural setting. The TikTok sensation was drafted as temporary cover for manager Kaleb Cooper, 26, while he embarked on a nationwide tour with his solo production. Upon his return to the Chipping Norton farmland, Harriet resumed her everyday life. In a sweet parting exchange with the ex-Top Gear host, she expressed her thrill having been an indispensable asset to the team. "You saved my life. So, if we get stuck again, can we give you a call?" Clarkson queried the qualified nurse. Yet at this juncture, sources intimate with the programme have indicated there are "no plans" for Harriet's return in the current or any forthcoming seasons of Clarkson's Farm. Harriet may have taken her leave from the screen, but the online influencer swiftly endeared herself to viewers and commands a hefty following - with 448,700 disciples on TikTok and 159,000 on Instagram - spurring calls for her reappearance on the show, reports the Mirror. Hailing from a lineage of farmers, Harriet was reared on her grandfather's livestock farm, now managed by her father. Her digital presence predominantly showcases the pastoral lifestyle along with frequent appearances by her irresistibly charming brown collie named Sky. Let's delve into Harriet's activities away from the limelight, including girls' holidays and nights out. Girls' holiday and nights out Following her stint on Clarkson's Farm, Harriet embarked on a well-deserved getaway with friends to sunny Spain. Trading in her wellies for a trendy bucket hat and blue bikini, she unwound by the pool and shared a few glimpses into her vacation on social media. Harriet was spotted getting glammed up for a night out with the girls and even shared a photo of herself inflating a pink lido for a relaxing poolside lounge session. She also reportedly tried on some accessories at a local store, enjoying some retail therapy. While Harriet dedicates a significant amount of time to her work on the farm and nursing, as well as advocating for farmers' mental health, she also enjoys letting loose and having fun. Her social media is filled with snaps of glamorous nights out with friends and her partner, James Booth. Boyfriend James Harriet's boyfriend, James, is reportedly a third-generation farmer, and the couple has been together for "some time," according to one of her step-sisters. The Clarkson's Farm star frequently shares adorable photos and videos with her partner, whom she appears to have met at the Young Farmers Club (YFC). In one heartfelt video post, she wrote: "The 'butterfly effect' is crazy because if I didn't join young farmers we'd of never of met." Harriet and her boyfriend share much in common with their agricultural heritage. She playfully wrote in a post last year: "Your bf brings you presents to unwrap ... Mine brings me bales to unwrap. We're not the same." In another amusing TikTok about lambing season, Harriet, seen cuddling an adorable lamb, quipped: "I've been covered head to toe in bodily fluids. But at the end of it all I expect my bf to take the bins out cause it's gross". Nursing career Beyond farming, Harriet maintains a demanding career in nursing. A 2023 graduate from the University of Derby, she's now a fully qualified nurse working for the NHS with a hectic timetable. Harriet also touched on the monetary challenges of farming in a humorous TikTok, pondering whether she could leave her job to farm full-time, but then remembering her mortgage obligations. She wittily captioned her video, "Suppose I would miss nursing a bit too". Family feud Family drama seems to be part of Harriet's life as well; her stepsister has spoken out since Harriet gained popularity on Clarkson's Farm. Elina Clifford, a professional chiropodist, has openly shared her thoughts regarding her distant stepsister Harriet with quite a candid approach. In a candid chat with the Daily Mail, Elina labelled her step-sibling as "fake" and "self-absorbed", stressing "She loves to be the centre of attention, often at others' expense". Moreover, Elina didn't mince her words when issuing a stark caution to Clarkson's Farm, stating: "She is fake in the way she behaves, so Jeremy Clarkson, beware!" The Express has also reported that Elina and her older sister Maddie – a dedicated teacher – attribute the beginnings of the "family feud" to Harriet's purported misconduct towards their mother Vicky, currently in a relationship with Harriet's father Eddy. The discord within the family, the sisters allege, stems from Harriet's alleged coldness towards their mother, leading to significant strife. "We don't have a good relationship with her. Our mum is with her dad now, and there was a lot of drama a couple of years ago. There is a family feud, and Harriet was not being very nice to mum, and it was very upsetting," Maddie disclosed. The sisters went on to suggest that Harriet's participation in Clarkson's Farm was merely a ploy to bolster her already sizable social media presence, critiquing this move as "sad and desperate" while accusing the television personality of being "obsessed with herself".

Clarkson's Farm star Harriet Cowan hits back at 'fake' claims with four-word response
Clarkson's Farm star Harriet Cowan has hit back at the show's "fake" claims with a four-word response. The 24-year-old nurse and farmhand filled in for Kaleb Cooper in the fourth series of the hit Prime Video series. She admitted to Jeremy Clarkson upon her arrival at Diddly Squat Farm that she hadn't watched an episode of the show. "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," Cowan explained to the ex-Top Gear host. She later clarified the authenticity of this exchange while chatting with Emily Clarkson on the podcast, Should I Delete That?, confirming: "It is so real". Emily, aged 30, queried: "Do you ever sit down with your boyfriend and chill together, or eat together? It sounds impossible." Harriet replied: "No, no. In the trailer where it's like, 'Have you watched Clarkson's Farm before?' And I'm like, 'No', it looked so fake," reports the Express. "But it is so real because we don't watch telly. Literally, if we watch something, James will sit down, his head will hit the back of the sofa and he's asleep because the second he can rest, he'll sleep, because he's so tired all the time." Harriet was brought onto the show by Jeremy, aged 65, after Kaleb took a break from the 1,000-acre Oxfordshire farm to embark on his tour, The World According to Kaleb. In an upcoming preview, Jeremy shared: "I want to make it plain that I am absolutely thrilled to bits for Kaleb, but he has left me just a little bit in the lurch." With speculation amongst fans that Harriet's involvement might signal a long-term absence for Kaleb, Jeremy has stepped in to allay those fears. "There's been lots of reports that Kaleb has been 'replaced' - well, no he hasn't," Jeremy assured his followers. "What happened is this: he went away on his speaking tour for a couple of months because he imagined that after four years I'd be able to manage on my own." He continued: "And I didn't - I made a complete mess of everything and had to bring in a young farmer called Harriet. Harriet is brilliant and looked after the fort until he got back. That is it - that's the story!"

UK's most treacherous road is now a tourist hotspot with Jeremy Clarkson among visitors
The Bealach na Bà, or the Applecross Pass as it's more commonly known, is widely regarded as the most dangerous road in the UK but has become a hotspot for tourists The Bealach na Bà, also known as the Applecross Pass, has a notorious reputation as Britain's most treacherous road and is certainly not for those lacking courage. Perched over 2,000 feet above sea level at its highest point, the route links the remote village of Applecross in Scotland to the coastal area of Loch Kishorn, approximately seven miles away. Sometimes considered hazardous enough to force closure of the road, the route is no stranger to winter shutdowns when Scotland is besieged by snow. Tucked away beneath the soaring cliffs of the Scottish Highlands, the rugged, winding roads of Applecross pose a a danger all year round for those daring drivers and bikers willing to brave the journey. A warning sign is strategically placed to caution travellers and offer them a chance to choose a calmer, alternative route, with it stating: "Learner drivers, very large vehicles and caravans should turn away and take the more leisurely 7.5-mile coastal route instead." Yet, despite some motorists and cyclists have a touch of trepidation about navigating the challenging Highland pass, the Applecross Pass has enjoyed renewed popularity following its feature in the famed North Coast 500 itinerary. Since its inception in 2015, the North Coast 500 invites road trippers to explore some of Scotland's most stunning scenery, with a route that spans 500 miles, traversing breathtaking locales such as Wester Ross, Sutherland, and Caithness. Applecross, once considered a challenging route for some motorists, has seen its fortunes turn with the rise of the North Coast 500. The mesmerising over-500-mile journey was tackled by ex-Top Gear personality Jeremy Clarkson, who traversed the North Coast 500 in his Amazon Prime show, Grand Tour, back in 2019. Local entrepreneur Judith Fish, owner of the close-by Applecross Inn, shed light on the influence the North Coast 500 has had over the iconic roadway when she spoke to the Telegraph: "There are some snarl-ups on there with the bigger motorhomes coming head to head, and in the passing places it can be tight with two cars. "Often, somebody has to reverse. We see approximately five punctures a week up there, minimum, because people pull off the edge and cut the inside of their tyres." Furthermore, she mentioned: "There's a lot more rallies, and that's what aggravates the people living here because they block the road. People don't live here for that sort of thing."

Speaking to The Sun about their camaraderie, he shared how swiftly they reconcile after they've had an argument. He said: "I mean yes we still argue and I reckon they probably only show 40 per cent of the arguments we actually have. But the main thing is that if we have an argument, ten minutes later we're best friends again. "We'll be like 'do you want a cup of tea? Do you want to go to the pub? Do you want to go for a meal?' You know anything like that – and that's what makes a good relationship I believe." Kaleb Cooper has started doing more events without Jeremy Clarkson by his side While Kaleb and Jeremy might boast a strong bond both in front of the lens and away from it, viewers will see less of their joint antics on-screen.
