Jeremy Clarkson jokes he was ‘consumed with fear’ girlfriend Lisa Hogan, 50, was putting him into a care home after she planned trip to ‘somewhere nice’ for his 64th birthday

Jeremy Clarkson has joked he was ‘consumed with fear’ girlfriend Lisa Hogan was planning on putting him into a care home after turning 64 this week. 

The Top Gear star, who has been dating the 50-year-old former actress since 2017, revealed he was with a trip to ‘somewhere nice’ to celebrate his big day, but featured there was an ulterior motive .

Jeremy went on to say that despite the mystery drive thankfully not ending up in a home for the elderly, he quipped ‘the day was coming’.  

Writing in his The Sun column: ‘It was my birthday this week and my girlfriend Lisa said she’d booked ‘somewhere nice’. 

‘It all sounded lovely, but as we plunged further and further into the Cotswolds, and she still wouldn’t tell me where we were going, I became consumed with a fear that she was taking me to a care home.’

Before adding: ‘She didn’t. But the day is coming’.

It comes after Lisa discussed her hopes of getting engaged to the outspoken  presenter. 

The couple will soon be seen together once more in series three of Clarkson’s Farm which follows their life on Diddly Squat Farm in Oxfordshire.

And the pair chatted to The Sunday Times to discuss the show coming back where the interviewer recalled that the topic of proposing was brought up while the couple were out on a walk during an old episode.

At the time Jeremy said that he had a ‘big surprise’ for her and after she asked if it was a proposal, he pretended not to hear and instead showed her a fallen willow tree bursting back into life.

After she followed up about the proposal, he said: ‘I’ll think about the proposal, OK? I’m not ready yet.’ 

Discussing the exchange, Lisa has now said: ‘I just thought I might surprise him.’

When asked if she had taken advantage of February 29 to do a leap year proposal, when women typically propose, she added: ‘Jeremy doesn’t think I proposed but he wasn’t wearing his hearing aids, so no-one will know.’

Jeremy has been married twice before.

He wed his first wife Alexandra James in 1989. The couple were married for six months before they split the following year in 1990.

Jeremy went on to remarry as he found love with his second wife Frances Cain.

The couple were married for more than two decades before they separated and welcomed three children together including, daughters Emily and Katya as well as son Finlo.

Season 3 of Clarkson’s Farm will land on Prime Video on May 3, the streaming service announced in February.
