Clarkson's Farm fans in shock after Lisa Hogan reveals 'terrifying' plane crash

Clarkson's Farm star Lisa Hogan has revealed she survived a plane crash.
The Irish model and actress, 51, became a household name a few years ago when appearing on her partner Jeremy Clarkson's programme Clarkson's Farm.
The couple initially met at a party through mutual friends before getting together in 2017.
Lisa has rarely spoken about her private life since first coming into the spotlight, but she was once a sculptor and shares three children with her ex-husband, Baron Steven Bentinck, a Madrid-based private art collector.
However this week she shared details of a shocking accident she found herself caught up in nearly 30 years ago.
In his weekend newspaper column, Jeremy began by explaining that how between them, the couple had 'walked away from three plane crashes over the years'.

'Both mine involved landing gear and were fairly minor but hers was a proper shunt,' he wrote.
'She was the only passenger in a Learjet that careered off the end of the runway at Northolt and onto the A40, where it was hit so hard by a van that it split in two.
'It's amazing no-one was killed, and if you google the images you'll see what I mean.'
Sharing the article on Instagram, Lisa then shared an image of the crash and a brief description of what happened.
'Amazingly the pilots, van drivers and I survived. I took another flight the same day. And landed safely,' she wrote.
Photos of Lisa's near-death experience in 1996 show the close call, with debris strewn across the road.

Posting on Reddit, one fan wrote of the crash: 'That sounds terrifying, enough to put anyone off flying.'
A then 25-year-old Lisa had been travelling from Palma in Spain to London for a film role in the John Cleese film Fierce Creatures, the sequel to A Fish Called Wanda.
At the time she was taken to Hillingdon Hospital and treated for shock and cuts and bruises, including an injury to her leg.
She left the hospital later in the afternoon and was 'basically OK', according to a film company spokeswoman.
The Irish Times reported that both the pilot and copilot, who suffered severe cuts, were also taken to hospital, while the van driver escaped with cuts and bruises after being cut free from the wreckage.

Speaking to the publication David Early, the pilot of a hospital helicopter from nearby Beckenham Hospital, spoke about being one of the first on the scene.
'How on earth a plane that size didn't cause more damage I don't know. If it had landed six feet either way then the passenger in the plane would have been killed or even the pilots,' he said.
'It was a mess when I arrived and I think that everyone involved was extremely lucky.'
Last year Lisa recalled details of the crash to the Irish Independent, saying that after the plane took off 'everything was fine for a while'.
A decision to sit where she wanted – rather than moving seats as advised by the captain – also saved her life.
'I insisted on sitting where I was, which was just as well because that was the area where the van came through when we crashed and I would have been killed instantly,' she said.

After the crash she quickly booked another flight and returned to Majorca just a few hours later.
She later told the Air Accidents Investigation Branch that the two Spanish pilots did not appear to know where RAF Northolt's airfield was and began fighting over the controls.
'We were going round and round for ages and then they started arguing. The co-pilot tried to do something, but the pilot smashed his hands off the controls and then we crashed,' she said.
Lisa also said she felt their approach was too steep and that the plane was travelling too fast.

Truth behind Travis Kelce's lock screen photo of Taylor Swift revealed after couple sparked engagement rumors

Taylor Swift is not showing off an engagement ring in the photo spotted on Travis Kelce 's lock screen, it has been confirmed. According to TMZ, the pop megastar is actually wearing Kelce's three Super Bowl rings in the loved-up snap he saved as his phone background, which eagle-eyed fans noticed in his Instagram dump on Thursday. Almost two years into their relationship the Kansas City Chiefs legend has finally gone Instagram official with Swift after sharing a series of pictures of their 'offseason adventures' together. In one of the images, Kelce's phone can be seen on the table while the couple are seemingly out for dinner together. Swifties quickly noticed that his lock screen was a black-and-white photo of him and Taylor, where she is holding both of her hands up to the camera while seemingly flaunting a ring. Engagement rumors therefore became rife once again, but it is believed Travis has not yet popped the question to his girlfriend. Instead, Taylor reportedly has his three championship rings on her fingers in the lock-screen picture. More to follow.

Taylor Swift's subtle tribute to Travis Kelce after he hard-launched romance and caused fan meltdown

Taylor Swift has broken her silence after her boyfriend of nearly two years Travis Kelce finally went Instagram official with her. Swifties the world over went into instant meltdown Thursday when Travis, 35, posted Instagram pictures with Taylor, 35, for the first time. Fans began forensically dissecting the images, making note of details like the lock screen of Travis' phone, which is now a snap of him with Taylor. Some breathless rumor-mongers even shared theories that they might be engaged, based on two different white outfits Taylor was pictured wearing. As the frenzy kept gathering steam into Friday, Taylor poured fuel on the fire by paying a subtle tribute to the NFL star on her Insta Stories. She uploaded a post enthusiastically plugging the new Adam Sandler movie Happy Gilmore 2, which contains a shirtless cameo by Travis. 'Happy Gilmore 2 had me cackling and cheering the whole movie!' she gushed. 'An absolute must watch, 13/10, go watch it on @netflix as soon as humanly possible.' She added a honey emoji, making a sly reference to a scene near the end of the movie in which Travis is slathered with the condiment while half-naked. Travis briefly appears in the movie as a high-strung maître d' who works with one of the main characters, a busboy called Oscar played by Bad Bunny. At one point Travis' character throws a temper tantrum and fires Oscar, who becomes the caddy to pro golfer Happy Gilmore (Adam Sandler). Near the end of the movie, Happy asks Oscar to picture his 'happy place' - and Oscar summons up an image of his Travis' character, tied up and wearing nothing but an apron with honey smeared all over him and a hungry bear approaching. One day before Taylor's post, Travis shared a number of loved-up photos with her on Thursday as part of an 'offseason adventures' Instagram dump, which marks the first time he has ever posted his girlfriend. The celebrity power couple, who have dominated headlines since they went public with their relationship in September 2023, look smitten in a number of snaps captured on nights out together. Travis and Taylor are first seen posing together in a warm setting, with other pictures showing them out for dinner, clowning around in the snow and skating on an ice rink. They also took photos with different groups of friends, one of which includes NFL reporters Charissa Thompson and Erin Andrews and their respective partners. Travis' older brother Jason, mom Donna and dad Ed also feature in the Instagram dump, as does Taylor's younger brother Austin. Travis and Jason are spotted in one of the images in a woodland setting with Austin, who appears to be holding a tree pruner. Nevertheless, Kelce's offseason dump has mainly sparked a frenzy online because of the intimate snaps he shared of Swift. The pop megastar's diehard legion of 'Swiftie' fans rushed to the comments to gush over the photos, with one writing: 'Their happiness is my happiness'. Another posted: 'SHE LOOKS SOOO HAPPY OMG'. While a third put: 'thank you for this - sincerely, all swifites'. Some eagle-eyed Swifties also pointed out how one of the photos shows that Swift features on the lock screen of her boyfriend's phone. One commented: 'why is nobody talking about how she's his lock screen!!!' 'The locked screen pic of Taylor and Trav....I just fainted,' said another. And a third joked: 'Not me zooming in on the phone screensaver.' Travis and Taylor are also seen enjoying a glass of wine with another group in a different photo Kelce and Swift have enjoyed a more low-key offseason together than last year, with the pair only making a handful of public appearances since the Chiefs' Super Bowl defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles in February. The most noteworthy of the lot came when Taylor made a surprise cameo at her man's 'Tight End University' event in Nashville last month, where she took to the stage and performed her famous 'Shake It Off' song. On a subsequent edition of his New Heights podcast, Travis explained that they had been cooking up a plan to 'have some fun' for some time. But his older brother Jason was among those who were shocked when footage emerged of the pop sensation on stage. 'Tay Tay showed up!' Travis said. 'We were in Nashville, she grew up in Nashville - she moved there when she was younger - and we had this planned for a while that we were going to have some fun with the tight ends. He continued: 'I won't say when the idea came up but we were there at "Tight End & Friends" and we knew that there was a professional like Kane Brown, who could just figure it out. 'He's a pro, he's been on stage a million times, he's not shy at all by any means... Tay just went up to him and the band and was like: "Hey if you guys are down, I'll go up there, play a song and see if we can pop the roof off this place." And sure enough...' Travis revealed that before going out to perform, Swift was backstage writing sheets of music for the band. 'I don't know, I'm not a musician but she was making sure that the band and everybody (knew it). And then just went out there without practicing and it was pitch perfect and just killed it,' Travis continued. 'She's so good with everybody and making people feel comfortable. And absolutely rocked the stage yet again, it was awesome, man.' Kelce was back on the practice field on Tuesday as the Chiefs began their preparations for the new NFL season. From Tuesday until August 13, the team will be based at Missouri Western State University in St Joseph - around an hour north Arrowhead Stadium. There, Kelce and the other 89 players on the roster will stay in dorms on campus for the duration of camp. That means three weeks without seeing their partners and families. For Kelce, that means three weeks without seeing Swift.
