Jeremy Clarkson's bitter split from ex-wife after 'affair' claims and 'perfect upgrade'
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."

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."

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."

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.

"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.

Neighbours stars who made it big The long-running Aussie soap has launched the careers of some of Hollywood's biggest stars. Here are some of the Neighbours alums who went on to make it big after starring on the soap... Kylie Minogue Before she hit the big time with her music career, Kylie shot to fame playing Charlene Mitchell on Neighbours. Shortly after her arrival, Kylie began an on and off-screen romance with co-star Jason Donovan, who played Scott Robinson, which gained the couple an army of adoring fans. Jason Donovan After his stint as Scott, singer and actor Jason became an international popstar and had his pick acting of roles. He moved to the U.K., married, had children and has since starred in over a dozen West End show, most notably Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat. Alan Dale New Zealand born actor Alan was one of Neighbours 12 original cast members having made his debut as Jim Robinson on the soap's first episode on 18 March 1985. As the head of the Robinson clan, widower Jim lived at Number 26 Ramsay Street with his children Paul, Julie, Scott and Lucy, and was a real anchor in the community. He stayed with the show for eight years, before his character was killed off in dramatic scenes aired in 1993 but which still reverberate through the soap to this day. Margot Robbie Way before she was Barbie or Harley Quinn, Margot was best known as Ramsay Street resident Donna Freedman. Her notable storylines included her marriage to Ringo Brown and becoming a young widow following his tragic death. After three years she bid farewell to the soap and Australia with a plan to make a name for herself in Hollywood which she did when she bagged the role of Naomi Lapaglia opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street. Jesse Spencer Jesse rocked up on Ramsay street in 1994 with the rest of the Kennedy clan. He stayed for five years, literally growing up in front of the camera, but in 2000 felt it was time to spread his wings and head for Hollywood. It was certainly a smart move as he went on to bag leading roles in popular shows like House and Chicago Fire. Russell Crowe New Zealand-native Russell had a brief arc on Neighbours, appearing in four episodes of the soap 1987 as Kenny Larkin, the former cellmate of Street resident Henry Ramsay. The role obviously got him noticed though because he quickly went on to become a fully-fledged Hollywood A-lister, winning the Best Actor Oscar for his standout performance as Roman General Maximus Decimus Meridius in Gladiator. 8 Dannii starred on Home And Away between 1989 and 1990 Credit: Rex Features 8 The singer went onto have major success in the showbiz industry Credit: Getty 8 She was known for her stint as a judge on The X Factor Credit: Rex 8 Her stint on the ITV talent competition was engulfed by rumours of a feud with Sharon Osbourne Credit: Rex

The pair first met in 2022, welcomed baby Aria in 2023 and tied the knot in a plush 2024 bash straight out of a fairy tale. But it's not all roses and romance, they're juggling marriage and parenthood from different countries. Karius now plays for German Bundesliga two side Schalke after leaving Newcastle while Diletta's continues her DAZN gig in Milan. But according to the goalkeeper his wife loves it and creates an atmoshphere where its right for them to feel the love even from a distance. He told Sport Bild: 'Diletta even advised me to extend at Schalke. "She thinks the club is great and she likes everything she has seen here so far. "Diletta also thinks that royal blue is the perfect choice for my sporting success. She is fully behind this decision."

The goalie also revealed that his missus is the real celeb in the family – especially in Milan. He added: 'She gets recognised more than me. She's a superstar over there.' But Karius wasn't quite ready for the full Italian family welcome. On meeting Diletta's clan in noisy Sicily, he fled the lunch table and locked himself in the bedroom for a lie-down. His wife Dilette revealed on a podcast: 'He was shattered by life, bless him. 'He said, Please stop, I need a break. "He went upstairs to his room locked himself in and threw himself on the bed destroyed by life."

The budget-friendly retailer says that the stocks are low, as customers race to their local stores. 3 B&M is known for its incredible savings and bargains, with its products regularly going viral online. One eagle-eyed shopper spotted the Spaceways 6 Tier Plastic Storage stack in their local store and immediately took to social media to share their find. The huge set of shelves can be ranged in a variety of ways, from three separate stands to one tall stack. It is perfect for storing pictures, plants or books and has dimensions of 38.5 x 33 x 151cm. The shelf comes in black and, according to B&M, it is 'easy' to assemble. The set costs just £20, but, according to B&M, stocks are low.

One excited Facebook user posted: 'ooop need this for plant pots!!!!' Another said that they loved the original poster's way of setting their shelves up, saying: 'Ooooo I like how you've put it together. Fab idea. I want one now.' Others had creative ideas of their own, with one clever shopper saying: 'This could be good to use as shelving in a shed.' Shoppers are racing to B&M for Molly-Mae's latest collection & there are some incredible scents for less than a fiver The news comes after another wave of B&M's products went viral on social media. The Boucel Barstool in Beige is currently retailing for just £1, instead of the usual price of £20. According to one customer though, only the beige barstool is on sale - meaning fans are racing to shops before it sells out. B&M regularly slashes the price of its products, as it clears out its stock to make room for exciting new products. The Peyton Leather Effect Bench is now half price at £45, down from £90. The Chicago table is currently selling for just £40, after being reduced from £110 - a 63 per cent saving. The set also includes two benches, making it a great choice for fine dining.
