Jeremy Clarkson’s partner Lisa left ‘distraught’ over death

The Irish actress has dated the former Top Gear and Grand Tour presenter since 2017 and share a £12.5m mansion in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds.

The couple’s life on the 1,000 acre farm between Chadlington and Chipping Norton is documented in the hugely successful Amazon Prime series Clarkson’s Farm.

A fifth series will broadcast from June 3, featuring all the ups and downs of a year farming.

In his new column for the Sunday Times, Mr Clarkson Lisa’s “treasured (and very expensive)” Valais blacknose sheep had mastitis.

The sheep and her lambs, which were struggling to feed, were put into a makeshift maternity ward and given some antibiotics.

The following morning, Mr Clarkson checked on the sheep. He wrote: “I had to check on Lisa’s poorly sheep, and even to my untrained eye I could see things had not improved overnight.

“I don’t want to spoil your breakfast, but her sickly teat had swollen to the point where it looked like Ron Jeremy’s gentleman sausage.

“I had to call the vet, who arrived in short order and quickly deduced that the mastitis had become gangrenous and that the sheep must be euthanised.

“So we did that and I had to spend the next hour hugging Lisa, who was distraught. She truly loves her Valais blacknoses.”

Series five of Clarkson’s Farm will see the farmer introduce a breed of EasyCare sheep to Diddly Squat.

Mr Clarkson said: “In the first series, I was with the sheep constantly during lambing, terrified there’d be a breech birth or something awful. EasyCare sheep just get on with it.

“Kaleb was absolutely furious when I bought them and spent weeks saying I’d got it wrong.

“They’re hard to round up and incredibly strong. But then I noticed the other day that he’s quietly bought 30 for himself.”
