Jeremy Clarkson's bitter split from ex-wife after 'affair' claims and 'perfect upgrade'
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 Jeremy Clarkson, the host of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, has had quite the eventful love life. At 64, he's been with actress and model Lisa Hogan, 51, for seven years. His past includes two marriages and fatherhood to three grown-up children. Currently, Jeremy shares his life with Lisa, who features on his programme Clarkson's Farm, filmed at the well-known Diddly Squat Farm. But his path in matters of the heart has seen its fair share of bumps. The ex-Top Gear presenter first married Alex Hall in 1989, but she left him for one of his mates after just a couple of years, reports the Express. Years later, in 2011, Alex admitted to The Telegraph that parting ways with Jeremy was a grave mistake: "I can't go into that because I have to think of my children and other people, but leaving Jeremy was the biggest mistake of my life. "I still love him, I always have, but I believed that if you make your bed, you've got to lie in it." (Image: Getty) Jeremy then married his manager, Frances Cain, in May 1993, with whom he has three children, Emily, Finlo, and Katya. In 1999, Alex claimed she and the host had an affair that lasted ten years, according to the Mirror. The TV personality strongly denied these claims and attempted to hit Alex with a High Court injunction. In a surprising development, he later requested the repeal of the order, acknowledging his remorse and criticising: "Injunctions are complete nonsense." (Image: Getty) Reflecting on his decision at that time, he said: "I overturned my own injunction because injunctions don't work. If you take out an injunction there is the automatic assumption that you must be hiding something. Bear in mind my wife and I took out this injunction it wasn't just me. "Yet we came to realise, with Twitter and Facebook in play, you're not really shielded anymore. The shift hasn't been so much in the law but in its interpretation you cannot simply obtain an injunction and then drop the matter; the court insists on pushing you to trial, which comes with an exorbitant price tag. Jeremy further stated: "Should I win, it's blasted across Twitter and Facebook anyway and I'm powerless to stop it. If I lose, the bill for her legal fees lands on my doorstep. Injunctions are complete nonsense. I look back in regret to the day I was counselled to get one." (Image: Getty) Jeremy and Frances parted ways in 2014 amid speculations that he had grown close to his PA, Phillipa Sage, whom he encountered on the Top Gear set. Their romance lasted until 2017, when Clarkson was spotted with Lisa Hogan. "He'd actually told me, 'I was born for you', and asked me to stay the night a few days before he was out with Lisa," she disclosed to Mail Online. "Then, one of my friends pointed out the photograph of him with another woman. I thought, 'Oh yes, she's definitely his type. (Image: Getty) "She's tall and blonde. He's gone for the perfect upgrade: taller, skinnier, younger. So I was like, 'F**k off, what are you doing when we are supposed to be working things out?' "He told me to calm down. He told me she was just a friend, then a couple of weeks later he told me he wanted to be with her." Jeremy has never confirmed nor refuted these claims. Lisa Hogan, his current partner, has made it clear she is not looking to be his third wife. In a discussion with Fabulous magazine, she expressed: "Mrs Clarkson? No, thank you, I prefer being Lisa Hogan." Clarkson's Farm is currently available to stream on Amazon Prime.

Jeremy Clarkson gobsmacked by Steph McGovern's Millionaire revelation
Presenter, Steph McGovern, was in the hot seat for ITV's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? on Saturday and left host, Jeremy Clarkson, seriously impressed with her credentials Jeremy Clarkson was left gobsmacked by Steph McGovern when she played Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? on Saturday. The Geordie presenter, 43, was in the hot seat, raising money for charity, when she told the petrolhead she'd helped devise an important bit of kit for a heap of British gardeners. Revealing she'd helped to develop the humble leaf blower, Steph smiled excitedly as Jeremy couldn't resist digging into her CV. He said: "I was looking at your notes, obviously, business and economics you're known for, but you're also a champion Irish dancer and a novelist, and a journalist, and most important of all, an engineer by trade. And you developed the leaf blower! Couldn't you have made it electric?" Steph explained that while she was working at Black+Decker more than 20 years ago, an electric version of the leaf blower wasn't possible. However, she said while at the company's Leaf Hog as part of a Six Sigma team, she helped save the firm £150,000 by improving manufacturing techniques. Jeremy joked: "There's nothing more annoying, am I right, than somebody else's leaf blower?" Before her TV career with BBC and Channel 4 took off, Steph was an intrepid engineer and won the prestigious Arkwright Engineering Scholarship in 1998 and was crowned Young Engineer for Britain a year later. Her Millionaire appearance, which was a repeat from earlier this year, was just another string to her bow as she raised an impressive £125,000 for charity. Steph walked away with the cash for Rubies, a Middlesbrough-based organisation supporting young girls. "I am happily gonna take the money and am not gonna carry on, if that's okay", she told Jeremy, choosing to not risk her winnings on the £250,000 questions. Rubies, which Steph has supported for over five years, helps create 'unforgettable' experiences for girls, including trips to TV studios with the plucky presenter. On 14 July 2019, Steph revealed that she was pregnant and her girlfriend were expecting their first child. On 4 November later that year, she gave birth to a girl. This year, the mum-of-one was a finalist in Netflix's Celebrity Bear Hunt hosted by Bear Grylls and Holly Willoughby. Speaking to Prima about why she decided to do the gruelling show, which sees a host of unlikely British celebrities dropped into the Central American jungle as prey for survivalist Bear, she said: "I've previously said no to featuring in reality TV, but when BearHunt came along, I thought, 'This is the one.' Since hitting my 40s, I've been trying to take more risks and it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I learned a lot about myself. "I had a kid in my 40s, so I was worried that I wouldn't be able to physically push myself. But after each challenge, I felt such a sense of accomplishment. I'm the type of person who wipes seats before I sit on them, but in the jungle, I really threw myself into it. I released an inner animal!" * Soccer Aid is on ITV at 6pm on Sunday 15 June

Chris Hughes kisses JoJo Siwa in very loved-up snap after 'confirming romance'
Celebrity Big Brother stars Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa have their fans gripped by their budding romance as they shared a very cosy snap from the bedroom before removing it Chris Hughes posted and swiftly deleted a steamy bedroom snap with JoJo Siwa as fans are convinced it is proof of their romance. The Love Island star, 32, has been getting cosy with JoJo, 22, as she spends time in the UK for her tour. They have enjoyed meals out, bowling, time with family and have made sure to get plenty of moments alone. Chris and JoJo's bond has had fans hooked as they are yet to fully confirm the status of their relationship. Since leaving Celebrity Big Brother, fans have looked for any clues they can to prove the pair are more than friends. It seems the duo are enjoying the attention around their relationship, as they have continued to post some very intimate photos from the bedroom. In his latest post, Chris took a selfie as he kissed JoJo's forehead while tucked up in bed together. Dance Moms star JoJo snuggled into Chris' chest with her eyes closed as the reality star gushed: "Sleeping beauty." The photo wasn't up on Chris' page for long as it was soon deleted. However, it was too late to hide any evidence as many fans were able to screenshot the photo and share it amongst each other. Chris and JoJo still haven't commented on reports about their relationship turning up a notch, having previously said they were just platonic soulmates. Fans are convinced that they have been dropping major hints that they are an item, with JoJo admitting she has 'never felt so special and so loved'. Before JoJo returned to the UK, Chris flew out to Mexico to support the dancer at her show. He met her mum and manager Jessalynn and was even snapped sharing a kiss with JoJo while in a pool. They have previously shared other snaps from the bedroom, as earlier in the week, Chris took to Snapchat to reveal that they were watching Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? together. Just hours before the post, Chris had teased that he was cooking a meal for JoJo. He later shared a photo of a table with their meals, with a vase full of roses visible on the side of their bowls and a lit candle nearby. This weekend, JoJo appeared on Channel 4 's Sunday Brunch where she revealed how Chris has slotted right into her family. JoJo said: 'She (Siwa's mother) does love him. My parents think the absolute world of him and him and my dad are like best friends. 'Chris was actually telling me that yesterday they went to the spa together. They're literally best friends. Mum, she absolutely adores him. I love watching her watch us because I've never seen my mum so happy." She added: "It feels like we're a family. It feels like he's been in my family for however many years. It feels like they just all get along as well as I do." Addressing how they plan to see each other despite the distance, JoJo said: 'I think there will definitely be a lot more time spent here, and I think from him as well, a lot more time spent over there, but we both have families, you know, on either end.'

JoJo Siwa's cosy night in with Chris Hughes - and their unexpected date activity
Love Island star Chris Hughes and singer JoJo Siwa enjoyed a cosy night in together recently, with the former Celebrity Big Brother housemates posting about it this week Fans have been given an insight into JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes ' relationship this week. It comes after the former Celebrity Big Brother housemates reunited just a few days ago when JoJo made her awaited return to the UK. JoJo, 22, and Chris, 32, have continued to update fans on their relationship following reports last week that they were seen kissing in Mexico. There had already been much speculation over their relationship in recent weeks after they grew close whilst in the Big Brother house last month. This week, they have given fans a glimpse at what they have been up to together following JoJo's return to the UK. Chris took to Snapchat this morning to reveal that they were watching Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? together. He posted several clips of them watching Sunday night's episode of the ITV show. The footage centred on the million pound question, which faced contestant Nicholas Bennett, who made it all the way to the final question on the quiz show. The question read: "Which of these words, each coined by a famous writer, was derived from the title of a fairy tale about three princes?" The answer options given to him were 'pandamonium', 'serendipity,' 'utopia' and 'yahoo'. In his first clip, Chris said: "This is the million pound question. He's got two lifelines left. This is incredible." JoJo teased that Nicholas "has to" get the right answer, with her and Chris then providing further commentary over the scene. Nicholas, after using his remaining two lifelines, ended up choosing 'yahoo' as his answer. It was however revealed that the correct answer had been 'serendipity'. Responding to the news, Chris said "s***" whilst JoJo reacted: "No!" Chris went on to share reaction from one of his followers, who wrote to him: "Told ya! Serendipity! That's how you and Joelle met. Serendity!" He shared the comment alongside a definition for the word which read: "The occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way." The former Love Island star read out the message he had received from the fan to JoJo - whose first name is Joelle. JoJo said: "And that was the million dollar question." She added: "That's really cute." Chris agreed, commenting: "Really is." Just hours before those posts, Chris had teased that he was cooking a meal for JoJo. He later shared a photo of a table with their meals, with a vase full of roses visible on the side of their bowls and a lit candle nearby. Earlier today, but seemingly posting about the same meal, JoJo told fans: "I've genuinely never had anything better." And alongside a clip of Chris cooking in the kitchen, she later wrote: "Longggg day on set made worth it for this." JoJo also paid tribute to Chris in a Q&A on Instagram tonight. When asked to share her "favourite thing" about him, the former Dance Moms star said: "Gosh lots of things, but the first thing that comes to my mind is the way he treats everyone." She added: "Strangers, friends, family, me, literally everyone. I've never seen somebody who acknowledges everyone in the room the way he always does. Everyone gets a hello everyone gets a how are you doing ... and it's genuine. Beautiful beautiful soul he is."
