Jeremy Clarkson’s Partner Lisa Hogan Opens Up After Surviving Scary Plane Incident. ‘Feeling Grateful to Be Alive’
She opened up after Jeremy opened up on their unlucky streak with air travel
JEREMY Clarkson’s girlfriend Lisa Hogan has recalled the terrifying moment she almost died in a plane crash as she shared a picture of the horror incident.
The model, 51, was involved in a near-death experience back in 1996 when the vessel came off the runway at RAF Northolt in London and collided with a van on the A40.
Lisa, who was 25 at the time, was heading into the UK capital for a film role and thankfully escaped any serious injuries – along with everyone else involved.
After Jeremy, 65 – who she has been dating since 2017 – addressed the fact the couple had “walked away from three crashes over the years”, Lisa went into more depth about her experience.
Following the Top Gear alum’s piece in the Sunday Times, Lisa took to Instagram to post an image of her plane crash wreckage.
It showed the Spanish Learjet 25 plane split in two following the impact from the van.
In her caption, she explained: “Amazingly the pilots, van drivers and I survived.
“I took another flight the same day.”
Lisa added: “And landed safely.”
On her next Instagram slide, it was business as usual for the Clarkson’s Farm star who uploaded a clip of their “huge” pig Richard Ham.
FLIGHT HORROR
Amazon Prime star Jeremy recently opened up on the pair’s unlucky track record on air travel.
He told the Sunday Times: “Whenever Lisa and I board an aeroplane, we are usually pretty confident that it will land safely because between us, we’ve walked away from three crashes over the years.
“Both mine involved broken landing gear and were fairly minor but hers was a proper shunt.
“She was the only passenger in a Learjet that careered off the end of the runway at Northolt and on to the A40, where it was hit so hard by a van that it split in two.
“It’s amazing no one was killed and if you google the images, you’ll see what I mean.
“The upshot is that the law of averages suggests we are unlikely to be involved in any such thing again, which is why we can both enjoy the champagne and the food, and settle smoothly into a state of deep relaxation.”
LOVE STORY
In June 2024, Irish lass Lisa opened up on RTÉ Radio about how she and Jeremy initially started their romance.
Lisa said they “met through mutual friends who had tried to set us up a couple of times”.
The turning point came at a Christmas party, as she explained: “I was just about to leave and we were introduced and he said, ‘No, no, come on, sit down and have a chat’. And that was it, really.
“So he called me a couple of days later and I thought, ‘Ok, you’ve got a bit of a rep’ — so he had to really court me!
“He courted me for a solid three months!”
She added: “He’s very, very good company. And he does make an effort to make me laugh a lot, which I really appreciate. And we do get on.”
Lisa was married for 30 years to Baron Steven Bentinck before they split in 2011, and shares three children with him — Wolfe, Alice and Lizzy.
Lisa built her career in the modelling industry in the 1990s before switching to entertainment and TV.
She is best known for appearing in Clarkson’s Farm on Amazon Prime Video, where she plays an active role in managing the farm and its shop.
Lisa also had somewhat of an acting career, playing a small part in the 1997 movie Fierce Creatures alongside Hollywood royalty — John Cleese, Jamie Lee Curtis and Kevin Kline.
She’s appeared as herself on shows including Loose Women in 2021, and Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway in 2022.
