Alongside his farming companion Kaleb Cooper, Jeremy also receives assistance from his partner Lisa, who is regularly seen lending a hand at the Diddly Squat Farm Shop, reports Yorkshire Live.

"I think it's a happy way to live, to have breakfast together, go our separate ways, and then you've got plenty to talk about in the evening.
"You can go out for dinner and you don't sit like normal old people, not talking to each other," he told The Telegraph.

‌
Jeremy and Lisa's relationship blossomed in 2017 after they met through mutual friends at an event.
Fast forward five years, and although content in their relationship, Lisa expressed she didn't desire marriage or children with Jeremy.
Speaking with Fabulous magazine, she clarified: "Mrs Clarkson? No, thank you, I like Lisa Hogan."
‌
She elaborated: "We're at a stage where we are not going to have kids," confirming their stance.
"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'."
Jeremy has previously tied the knot twice; his first marriage was to Alexandra James from 1989 to 1990, followed by a union with Frances Cain from 1993 until their separation in 2014.
‌
Together with Frances, he shares three offspring: Emily, 30, Finlo, 27, and Katya, 24.
Lisa, on her part, brings three children to the family from her 30-year marriage to millionaire tycoon Baron Steven Bentinck.
Reflecting on the initial phase of her relationship with Jeremy, Lisa confessed she took some time to ascertain his earnestness before solidifying their bond.
‌
"We'd both come out of quite long-term relationships, and I was really happy being single," she confided.
"So I was like, 'If I'm not going to be single any more, I don't want to be with a messer'.
"There was [a moment]. I had given myself three months, but it was way before that, where I thought, 'OK, I really like this person'."

She continued, explaining that her beau "has a laser brain and will take you down", but noted: "And that's where the fun and the challenge is with him, trying to take him down."

Celebrity Gogglebox viewers criticise 'dire' Channel 4 show

The show sees celebrity pairings react to TV programmes that have aired during the prior week. This is in comparison to the regular version of Gogglebox, where a selection of different families and friends from around the UK do the same. Last night's episode (Friday, June 20) saw the celebrities offer their observations on shows such as Clarkson's Farm, Love Island, Coronation Street, Countdown and Tom Kerridge Secrets Of The Pub Kitchen. A post shared by Gogglebox (@c4gogglebox) The pairings included singer Rag'n'Bone Man alongside comedian Romesh Ranganathan, comedians Joe Wilkinson and Roisin Conaty and actor James Buckley alongside his wife Clair. While plenty of viewers reacting to the show on X (formerly known as Twitter) enjoyed the episode, some weren't so pleased. Some fans weren't particulatly happy watching last night's episode, comparing it negatively to the original version. One said: "Totally unfunny celebrities on #gogglebox. Just people watching telly just isn't the same as normal Gogglebox. Cant wait for normal families. The funny ones." Another shared: "Even though there are a few couples on Celebrity Gogglebox who are quite funny, it's not as good as the "normal" one." A third posted: "I love Gogglebox but Celebrity Gogglebox is just dire." However, some people were a bit more favourable to the episode, with some of the pairings getting plenty of praise. Joe Wilkinson in particular had a lot of compliments, with one saying: "Joe Wilkinson makes me laugh before he's even opened his mouth. He dosnt even try but is funny." Recommended reading: Gogglebox fans call for 'annoying' pairing to get less airtime on Channel 4 show Huge pop star signs up for Celebrity Gogglebox alongside hilarious comedian Comedy legend signs up for Celebrity Gogglebox alongside hilarious wife Another agreed, replying: "Could watch him all day. Effortlessly hilarious." A third posted: "Joe Wilkinson great addition to #gogglebox". Another shared: "Finally some good celebs on tonight.. especially Joe Wilkinson & Romesh!"

I visited Jeremy Clarkson's farm shop and made instant call after just one look

Clarkson's Farm is smashing Amazon Prime Video's ratings records with each new release. The current series, the fourth, has proven to be its most popular yet, pulling in an impressive average of 4.4 million viewers per episode. This makes it Amazon Prime Video's top show, with viewer numbers on the rise since the third series. A fifth series is already in the pipeline, set to premiere in 2026. In terms of ratings, the show is essentially competing with itself — no other Amazon Prime Video programme has come close in the past couple of years, reports Wales Online. The show's popularity isn't surprising. It's a delightful mix of humour, emotion, charm and, of course, it's led by the man who made Top Gear and The Grand Tour such massive hits for decades. But beyond his knack for creating compelling telly (which must be easier with one of the world's wealthiest companies backing you), it's Jeremy Clarkson's warmth, passion, and willingness to learn and admit mistakes that truly sets the show apart (not to mention all the ribbing he gets from his sidekick and rising star Kaleb Cooper) He's dramatically boosted the visibility of British farming, along with its relentless hurdles – from extreme weather conditions to the staggering costs of tractors and the way the price of fertiliser can skyrocket by thousands in the blink of an eye, but it's not like you can hike up your potato prices overnight to compensate. Farmers seem to be thanking him for bringing their struggles to light, with one purportedly stating that Clarkson "done more for farmers in one series of Clarkson's Farm than Countryfile achieved in 30 years". I might have been late jumping on the Clarkson's Farm bandwagon, but now I'm devouring the four series with a voracity of about one per day. It's become the best bit of my day – absolutely brilliant. I popped into Clarkson's boozer, The Farmer's Dog, and two words summed up that experience for me. I loved every second, from the sprawling, heaving beer garden offering views of the Oxfordshire landscape to the cracking Sunday roast topped off with impeccable service. The lure of Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat farm shop, famed for its appearances in the hit series, was too tempting. It's been the subject of Clarkon's disputes with West Oxfordshire District Council, tried to sell nearly-gone-off nettle soup at £10 a pop, and seen Lisa Hogan trying to sell China-made clothes despite a rule that everything sold there must come from within 16 miles. A memorable scene is when land agent Charlie Ireland discovers marmalade on the shelves and exclaims in shock: "But we don't grow oranges!". Nestled just south of Chipping Norton, roughly 12 miles from The Farmer's Dog, the farm shop has previously caused a stir with local council officials and residents due to the influx of visitors causing traffic woes. I half-expected chaos upon arrival, but the reality was surprisingly smooth with stewards swiftly directing us to ample parking despite the huge number of visitors. Zooming toward the farm by car (though there is a dedicated Diddly Squat bus stop outside), the high-vis brigade ushered us into a spacious field to join the ranks of parked vehicles where, pleasantly, traffic snarls were nothing but a hiccup. Once parked, a brief stroll across the road led me to what is undoubtedly the nation's favourite farm shop. The addition of new, purpose-built pavements on either side of the road was a welcome sight, especially considering the sheer numbers of people now flocking to this once-quiet country lane. The place was already buzzing with hundreds of visitors, some eagerly waiting for a selfie by the shop sign, others queuing for a pint of Hawkstone beer or a bite from the resident food van, and many more lounging on the numerous wooden picnic benches. However, upon seeing the enormous queue for the quaintly small farm shop (which was much tinier than I had anticipated), I promptly decided against joining it. I overheard talk that suggested that some had been waiting for an hour already. I would have relished the chance to peruse the products in person — luckily, many of them are available at the larger shop adjacent to The Farmer's Dog, where queues were virtually non-existent and I managed to snag some Bee Juice honey (£12) and a crate of Hawkstone lager (£28 for 12 bottles). Much like the pub, there was a palpable sense of excitement in the air, with everyone seemingly delighted to be there. Despite not stepping foot inside the shop itself, I left with fond memories of the unique experience Jeremy Clarkson and his team have crafted in this tranquil corner of the country. I'm certainly glad I dropped by. As well as its fresh produce, the food from the on-site food van and Hawkstone beers, here's a selection of goods you can buy at the farm shop.

I visited Jeremy Clarkson's farm shop 90 minutes from Wales — I took one look and made an instant decision

Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Clarkon's Farm breaks Amazon Prime Video's ratings records every time it's released. The current series (the fourth) is its most-watched to date, with an average of 4.4 million viewers per episode. This makes it comfortably Amazon Prime Video's biggest show of the year, with viewer numbers growing again since series three. There's a fifth series in the works, which is scheduled to premiere in 2026. In the ratings battle, the show is pretty much now just competing with itself — no other Amazon Prime Video show has come close in the last two or three years. It's not hard to see why it's so popular. It's funny, sad, charming and, of course, it's fronted by the man who made Top Gear and The Grand Tour such hugely popular shows for decades. But as well as knowing how to make a good TV programme (which presumably is even easier when one of the biggest and richest companies on the planet is backing you), Jeremy Clarkson's warmth, passion and a willingness to learn and admit mistakes is what really makes it special (as well as all the abuse he gets from his sidekick and new-found starlet Kaleb Cooper). He's surely raised significantly the profile of British farming and the relentless challenges they face — from the weather to the mind-boggling cost of tractors and the fact that the cost of fertiliser can leap by tens of thousands of pounds in one fell swoop but you can't just put the price of your potatoes up to cover it. It seems farmers appreciate the exposure too, with one reportedly quoted as saying that Clarkson has "done more for farmers in one series of Clarkson's Farm than Countryfile achieved in 30 years". I was late to the Clarkon's Farm party and am currently racing through all four series at a rate of around one a day. I love it, it's the highlight of my day. I visited Clarkson's pub, The Farmer's Dog, and two words summed it up perfectly. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish, from wandering around the huge, packed beer garden with views over the Oxfordshire countryside, to the delicious Sunday roast and flawless service. (Image: Steffan Rhys) And I also wanted to see the Diddly Squat farm shop as it's such a central part of the series, from Clarkson's disputes with the local West Oxfordshire District Council, his attempts to sell cartons of nearly-gone-off nettle soup for £10 or his partner, Lisa Hogan, trying to sell clothes made in China despite rules that everything sold in the shop must have been made within 16 miles. One of the funniest moments of the series is when land agent Charlie Ireland spots marmalade for sale, does a double-take and stutters: "But we don't grow oranges!" The farm shop is around 12 miles north-east of The Farmer's Dog, just south of Chipping Norton. One thing that really seemed to annoy council officials and some neighbours in the earlier episodes of the show was the huge number of people visiting the shop, clogging up the surrounding roads and parking on grass verges. So I was expecting it to be busy — and, oh boy, was it busy. Arriving by car (though there is also a dedicated Diddly Squat bus stop outside), stewards in high-vis jackets directed us to a large nearby field where, despite the hundreds of cars already parked, we got a parking space easily (the traffic queues on the road were very short-lived too). Once parked, it was a short walk across the road to the farm shop, which is without question the most popular farm shop in the country. There seemed to be new, purpose-built pavements on either side of the road, which is a good idea on a previously-deserted country road on which thousands of people now descend on a daily basis. There were already hundreds of people milling around, waiting patiently to get a selfie near the shop sign, queuing for a Hawkstone beer or food from the resident food van, or sitting on one of the many wooden picnic benches. But when I saw the queue for the farm shop (which is adorably small and way smaller than I was expecting) I immediately decided that I would not be joining it. It was huge and I think I overheard someone say they had been waiting an hour already. I would have loved to have seen in person all the prodcuts on sale — fortunately, you can buy loads of them at the large shop next to The Farmer's Dog with barely any queue at all and I came away from there with some Bee Juice honey (£12) and a crate of Hawkstone lager (£28 for 12 bottles). And you can read what my colleague thought of the food from the farm shop here. Just like the pub, it felt like everyone was thrilled to be there and I came away thinking fondly of the phenomenon Jeremy Clarkson and his team have created in this peaceful part of the country. I may not have set foot in the shop itself, but I'm still very glad I stopped by. What can you buy in Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm Shop? As well as its fresh produce, the food from the on-site food van and Hawkstone beers, here's a selection of goods you can buy at the farm shop.
