Jeremy Clarkson’s girlfriend Lisa Hogan has opened up about some of the challenges ahead of the new series of Clarkson’s Farm. Detailing her side projects, the 52-year-old former actress and model also addressed some of the trickier aspects.

The Dublin-born star explained: “We’re constantly improving lots of little things in the farm shop. Car parking remains an ongoing challenge, and I’m really hoping we get the go-ahead from the council to make that permanent.”

She also went on to speak about her other side-hustles, which will be featured in the forthcoming episodes: “I’ve had my eye on Valais Blacknose sheep for a while, so it was a real thrill when I found an excellent breeder, and they arrived.

“On the snail front, I’m a big fan of snail face cream, so that was the original idea. Of course, Jeremy then had other plans for them.”

The Clarkson’s Farm favourite will be returning, along with the rest of the Diddly Squat Farm family, for season five.

A trailer for the new series recently dropped and showed scenes of Jeremy, 66, in a hospital bed after a huge health scare.

In the season five teaser, the former Top Gear and Grand Tour host was given strict doctors’ orders to rest and adopt a new diet after heart surgery.

However, the star flouted these to head to London as part of a protest against the government’s budget, which heavily penalised farmers.

Addressing her partner’s recovery, Lisa said, “Jeremy was advised to rest for a couple of weeks, and that lasted about a day and a half. He still absolutely refuses to eat cottage cheese.”

Season five of Clarkson’s Farm will consist of eight episodes, airing in three drops. The first four episodes will be released on June 3 and then the next two will be hitting screens on June 10.

The final two episodes, seven and eight, will be released on June 17.

Reflecting on the impact of the hit Prime Video series, Jeremy said, “I like to think Clarkson’s Farm has altered the way people think about farming.

“I think more people now appreciate just how difficult it is and just how badly paid it is. For that reason alone, I think the programme has been a good thing.

“Obviously, things like the government budget have fed into that wider conversation across UK farming, and Clarkson’s Farm reflects that.”
