Jeremy Clarkson's softer side is being exposed in a series of adorable photos posted by his long-time girlfriend to celebrate their eighth anniversary.
The Clarkson's Farm star, 64, and his girlfriend, Lisa Hogan, 51, started dating in 2016 after meeting at a friend's Christmas party. It followed the end of the TV presenter's marriage breakdown to Frances Cain, to whom he was married for just over 20 years.
While the love birds prefer to keep the details of their relationship private, only being seen together on Jeremy's hit show, or in the rare post of each other on social media, Lisa, has taken the special occasion as an opportunity to show fans Jeremy's more affectionate and softer side with a series of unseen photographs which show the pair canoodling.
In one picture, where Jeremy can be seen protectively wrapping his arm around Lisa's shoulders while they are out at sea on a boat, she wrote: "8 years today, I met Jeremy Clarkson." She then shared yet another sweet picture of the pair at what looks to be a dinner party, and the journalist-turned-farmer has his arms once again wrapped around Lisa while she smiles for the camera. Lisa added some heart emojis to the picture.
While today is the eight-year anniversary of their meeting, it isn't exactly their relationship anniversary. Lisa has shared in a previous interview that she didn't give into her beau's advances that easily and made him work for her love. Speaking to The Sun, she said: "I thought, 'Ok, you've got a bit of a rep'—so he had to really court me!"
It was a choice that clearly didn't phase the star as he went on to try and impress Lisa for "a solid three months". Over that initial period of getting to know each other, the former professional model said she appreciated that Jeremy tried hard to "make me laugh a lot" and said the couple "get on" quite well.
Lisa was previously married to aristocrat Baron Steven Bentinck and shared three children with him: Wolfe, Alice, and Lizzy. However, after 30 years together, the Dublin-born beauty parted ways with him in 2011 and now spends her days with Jeremy on their farm, where she is either monitoring their animals or sculpting in her art studio.

The lunch costs £40 and is served from December 2 to Christmas Eve, running all day from 12pm to 11pm.
Anticipating a huge turnout of guests, the pub has implemented a time limit for each booking made during the early to mid-evening, offering only one hour to finish a three-course meal. This has left many upset, with one person taking to X to say, "How are we expected to down three courses and drinks in an hour? What do they call that—a micro meal?"
The only way around it is to book a table for after 20:30, when the restrictions don't apply, or by visiting at lunchtime when tables are reserved for walk-in-only customers.
