Jeremy Clarkson’s partner of nine years, Lisa Hogan, 52, has broken her silence following the news of Clarkson’s cancer diagnosis.

Less than 24 hours after the news broke, Hogan took to Instagram to share a snap of Clarkson.
Following a slew of images of herself at Royal Ascot – a prestigious horse-racing event in England – shared to her story, Hogan posted an image of Clarkson sitting at an outdoor table with a large camera in hand.
“Back at the farm,” she captioned the snap.
She also shared a screenshot of a post shared by Prostate Cancer UK, thanking the company for all its support.
The original post by Prostate Cancer UK thanked Clarkson for sharing the news of his cancer diagnosis and treatment, and for “raising vital awareness with the millions of men and families watching”.
Clarkson shared news of his diagnosis on Clarkson’s Farm while chatting with Kaleb Cooper and Charlie Ireland, both of whom help Clarkson run his Cotswolds farm, Diddly Squat.
“I had a medical, you remember, back in May? I disappeared off the other week, and I had a biopsy, and it is cancer, and it’s aggressive, but it’s really early,” he said.

“I was praying we could get the harvest done, and then I could go and get some treatment, but it’s going to be slap bang in the middle.”
Almost a year ago exactly, the star wrote a column for The Sunday Times outlining his updated medical exams and the reality of health check-ups urging men to take them seriously.

He noted everything that he would get checked during these appointments, going into detail about the prostate exam before adding that he doesn’t mind it, simply because “we do need to know this stuff”.
“I’ve had too many friends go down with prostate cancer,” he wrote.
“And all it takes to get on top of the situation early is a moment or two of being a bit cross-eyed.”
Clarkson and Hogan are not married but have been happily together since 2017 and live together in their Cotswolds home and have built a life around the farm business.
Clarkson has three children, Emily, 32, Finlo, 29, and Katya, 26, from his marriage to former wife Frances Cain.
