The 51-year-old Irish former model and actress is Jeremy Clarkson’s girlfriend and helps run the 1,000‑acre Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington, Oxfordshire.

Ms Hogan has become a fan favourite for her no‑nonsense approach on the hit series, previously appearing in films such as Fierce Creatures, before stepping back to raise her three children.

She joined Mr Clarkson on the Prime Video show when it launched in 2021 and has since taken on a leading role in the farm shop.

It was recently announced on ITV’s This Morning that Ms Hogan will be presenting a new show on ITV, Farming for Love.

This will see her play cupid for four single farmers from across the UK who are hoping to find a partner to share both their lives and livelihoods.

Following the major announcement, fans and friends of Ms Hogan have been quick to rally around her with well-wishes and messages of support.

Underneath Fremantle UK’s post on Instagram, one social media user said: “Fab, can’t wait, she’s brilliant.”

Another added: “Amazing! Love that Lisa is gonna be on our screens more.”

A third said: “What great content! Normal hardworking people, and Lisa is so natural”

“So delighted for lovely Lisa,” another agreed.

Ms Hogan will continue to appear on Clarkson’s Farm, with the first episodes of the new series five due to be released on Wednesday, June 3.

The sixth series of the show has been confirmed for a 2027 release after the update was revealed in new planning documents this week.

The star faced a much-publicised battle with the council to resolve car parking woes at his Diddly Squat Farm as visitors flocked to the site due to the success of the television series Clarkson’s Farm.

Permission was eventually granted on appeal in June 2023 to extend the temporary car park on land previously used for agriculture to deal with the influx.

Under the imposed conditions, Clarkson was ordered to return the land to its original state within three years, which would give them a deadline of June this year.

But with the ongoing success of the show, his team have now applied for planning permission to extend this deadline until the end of 2030.

The Planning Inspectorate approved the car parking extension to combat severe traffic issues on the surrounding rural roads, but refused plans for a permanent restaurant there.

His representatives said the original conditions needed amendment as season six has already been commissioned, which will air in summer 2027.

When the original permission was granted on appeal, the second series had just been aired, and the length of impact on the surrounding area wasn’t clear, they said.

His representatives said: “Season five will air this year, and season six has been commissioned and will air in summer 2027. Three further years to monitor and review thereafter seems appropriate.”

His team said the planning application to West Oxfordshire District Council was to amend two previously approved conditions.

They added: “Both conditions impose a time limit on the operation of the site and use of adjacent land for car parking.

“The reason for imposing the condition is clearly set out in the Inspector’s decision letter, when considering the planning balance.

“That was to allow continued monitoring of the effects of the use and associated demand for parking, in light of the success or otherwise of the undertaking and in the context of whether the associated television programme would continue to be commissioned.

“At the time of the appeal, the second series had just aired, and it was renewed for a third series.

“The three-year time limit was chosen on the basis that if the third series was the final one, then two years of monitoring after airing was sufficient to assess demand.

“It is currently renewed for the fifth series, which is yet to air.

“The site continues to be popular and attracts sufficient customers to warrant the provision of additional parking.

“It maintains the associated benefits to the farms and other businesses that supply the farm shop and café, and in turn the economic and social well-being of the wider area.

“The provision of the dedicated additional parking and careful monitoring by the applicants has also ensured that parking on the adjacent highway is precluded.

“The landscaping around the car park area has started to mature and assists in assimilating the site into the surrounding landscape and existing sylvan backdrop.”

Clarkson’s team said there were ‘unique circumstances’ that should allow them a second temporary consent while acknowledging it wasn’t ‘normal to do so.’

They added: “In light of the continued popularity of the site and associated television programme, we are requesting a further extension of the limited period consents for the use and associated development to provide car parking.

“Whilst it is normal to only grant one temporary consent, it also confirms that it is justifiable in cases where changing circumstances provide a clear rationale for doing so.

“The application site is one such case and set of unique changing circumstances. The Inspector clearly identified that the association with a popular current television programme is a unique circumstance which generates a time-limited demand.

“The rationale is clear – at such time as the television programme no longer airs, then demand may reduce, and the parking required for the operation of the farm shop can be assessed and appropriate provision made.

“It is true to say that the impacts of the car parking area and use are only associated with the number of customers, and as such, even if the temporary period consented is longer than ultimately required, that does not preclude earlier remediation if demand wanes.

“In any event, if the additional car park is not in use, it will not have the same landscape impact compared to when it is full.

“Given the advice of the Government that a series of temporary consents is less desirable, it is in our view prudent to allow a second period of appropriate length to cover the potential period of significant public interest in the site.

“We trust officers will support these proposals. If you wish to discuss any matters in this.”

No further documents or public representations have so far been submitted, and a decision will be made by West Oxfordshire District Council at a later date.

Scyld Berry, chief cricket writer at The Telegraph, has bemoaned the current state of the sport at the university, in particular at the University Parks ground where the best part of 1,000 first-class matches were played.

Writing in his column, Mr Berry said: “Not a floodlight in sight. Not a pom-pom girl, nor spider-cam, no stand for spectators, no charge for admission, no PA system, no music at all.

“Yet here and at Fenner’s, the first-class cricket season used to open every April.

“Amateurs would play against professionals – and Oxford beat every first-class county at some time or other except the latterday Durham – while many a future England captain cut his teeth.”

Citing the history of the ground, he explained that many England captains had originally played for the Oxford University team, including Douglas Jardine who captained England in the infamous ‘bodyline’ Ashes series of 1932-33.

In addition a number of overseas players have been part of the university team, including Imran Khan who captained Pakistan to its 1992 World Cup victory and went on to become the country’s Prime Minister.

However, in recent decades the team has declined, with the centuries old Varsity Match between Oxford and Cambridge losing its first-class status (elite status) in 2020.

Furthermore, greater threats have been reported for university cricket with a number of titles revealing last year that the England and Wales Cricket Board planned to slash funding.

Durham paper Palatinate said that the sport’s governing body was going to cut £200,000 from its University Centres of Cricketing Excellence, including Oxford.
