Lisa Hogan reveals Clarkson’s rush to get on stage for NTA awards
Clarkson’s Farm star Lisa Hogan revealed she and Jeremy Clarkson arrived to the National Television Awards (NTAs) in a rush, just 10 minutes before they went on stage.
The Irish actress and model has risen to widespread fame with her regular appearances on the Prime Video show, Clarkson’s Farm.
Filmed at Jeremy Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington, Oxfordshire, the documentary follows the day-to-day life of a farmer.
Ms Hogan began dating the former Top Gear and Grand Tour host back in 2017 and lives in Oxfordshire with him.

On Wednesday night, she and Mr Clarkson took an afternoon off farming and headed to London’s O2 Arena to receive an award at the NTAs.
They collected the gong for best factual entertainment programme for Clarkson’s Farm, which has just released its fourth season on the streaming platform owned by Amazon.
But after a glamorous appearance on stage, Ms Hogan revealed the pair didn’t arrive at the awards until 10 minutes before they were on stage – and she forgot her shoes.
“I don’t have makeup, and I’m in my jeans, and we’re stuck in traffic,” she said in a video filmed from the back of a car.
“We’re on our way to the O2 and I have my dress in the back, and I won’t have time to put it on
Unable to get to their hotel, the NTA crew found the pair a dressing room to change in the nick of time to do everything from brushing teeth, to applying makeup and having a few pre-award show “sherbets”.
Ms Hogan shared in a caption: “We might have arrived 10 minutes before being due on stage for the NTA’s last night.
“On the upside, we couldn’t enjoy too many preshow sherbets, on the downside, tube strikes are a pain, especially traffic as gridlock meant we didn’t make it to our hotel.
“Farewell spoiling hair and makeup, hello NTA awards crew who found a dressing room for us.”
Mr Clarkson appeared at her side looking smart in a black suit and crisp white shirt.

But the 65-year-old suffered a slight wardrobe malfunction on stage, seen holding on to his trousers.
“I should explain I’m on Mounjaro, my trousers are falling down,” he told the audience as Ms Hogan held him up at the waist.
He added: “Lisa’s going to hold my trousers up whilst I make a very short speech.”
He used his time on stage to address the struggles farmers face, saying: “You don’t love farming, you love moments of it – it’s really tricky right now.”
The presenter added that his team “worked way harder than anyone else in this room” in his acceptance speech.
