exhusband

Clarkson’s Farm star Lisa Hogan returns to screens for season five, but what do we know about her previous relationships?

The fifth season of Clarkson’s Farm has finally arrived, with four brand-new episodes landing on Wednesday, 3rd June.

After Jeremy Clarkson’s emergency hospital dash back in October 2024, the former Top Gear and The Grand Tour co-presenter lost no time in returning to work at Diddly Squat.

The latest series chronicles Jeremy as he teams up once more with Kaleb Cooper and his other half, Lisa Hogan, on fresh farming ventures, including so-called ‘Easycare’ sheep which prove to be amongst the most challenging animals on the farm, a touching Christmas celebration and even AI-powered tractors.

Now the show has been running for half a decade, with a sixth series scheduled for next year, audiences have become more familiar than ever with television couple Jeremy and Lisa.

However, did you know Lisa was previously wed before encountering Jeremy at a gathering in 2017? Let’s explore what we know about her former spouse, reports Wales Online.

Who is Lisa Hogan’s ex-husband?

Lisa was formerly married to Baron Steven Bentinck, an art collector and Dutch aristocrat residing in Madrid.

He belongs to the House of Bentinck family of Dutch, German and British nobility and is the nephew of steel magnate and art collector Baron Heinrich von Thyssen.

Baron Steven and Lisa first crossed paths in 1996 and tied the knot in 1998. They stayed together for 30 years, until 2011, and share three children, Wolfe, Alice, and Lizzy.

Lisa’s former husband was also previously wed to Nora de Picciotto. He is 69, 17 years Lisa’s senior, with her being 52. His precise net worth remains undisclosed but is thought to run into the multi-millions owing to his links with billionaire industrialist von Thyssen and his remarkable collection of luxury assets, which previously included the 147-foot yacht, alongside several high-value properties such as the Duntreath Castle estate in Scotland.

The Bentinck family wealth is understood to reach into the hundreds of millions, with their Welbeck Estates Company holdings alone estimated at over £230 million.

Prior to her relationship with Jeremy, Lisa was also involved with Canadian businessman Craig Cohan for a period after meeting at a birthday celebration in Moscow. The pair were seen together at a Battersea Power Station event in April 2014, although the exact timeline of their romance and separation remains unclear.

Jeremy, for his part, has been married twice before. His first wife is Alex Hall, whom he wed in 1989 for six months, while his second is manager Frances Cain, marrying in 1993. They share three children together and separated in 2014.

Clarkson’s Farm season 5 continues Wednesdays on Prime Video.

Rylan Clark is the latest celebrity to be grilled on ITV’s The Assembly, where autistic and neurodivergent interviewers pose no-holds-barred questions

Rylan Clark was left stunned when probed about his ex-husband on ITV’s The Assembly. The Radio 2 star, 37, is the latest celebrity to be grilled on the experimental programme, where autistic and neurodivergent interviewers pose no-holds-barred questions to a host of famous faces.

Rylan knew he would be asked some difficult questions on the show, but when one interviewer brought up the topic of him cheating on his ex, Dan Neal, who he split with in 2021 after six years of marriage – he was floored.

Caught completely off-guard, Rylan was asked: “When you told your husband you cheated on him, he divorced you. Is honesty always the best policy?”

“Oh, wow”, Rylan replied, taking a deep breath. “Yeah, I think it is. I’m okay admitting I’m in the wrong, because actually I don’t deal well with guilt and I don’t deal well with secrets.”

After his split with Dan, the TV star took a lengthy sabbatical from all his television work and admitted he’d grappled with suicidal thoughts. Telling the interviewer he had been “really ill”, he shared: “It made me so ill, like so ill. It sounds a terrible thing to say, but I’m glad it happened.”

In another curveball, the former X Factor icon then admitted he didn’t “regret anything” as he shed more light on their break-up. Lifting the lid on life post-divorce, he said: “Do you know, I never think of him.

“So, this is like, my whole body just went [tense]. I miss feeling like I’ve got it all. I thought I had life done – I’ve got the job, I’ve got the family, I’ve got the marriage, I’ve got the car, I’ve got the house.

“I thought I had it sussed. I didn’t have anything sussed. I didn’t know what was a real relationship, and I can look back now and know that I don’t regret anything.

“I don’t regret anything, so I’ll leave that up to your imagination.”

Speaking to a make-up artist during a break from filming for the programme, Rylan, who went public with new partner Kennedy Bates in January, said he was pleased he took part in The Assembly, even though it was uncomfortable.

He said: “I’m so glad I did this. But yeah, [the] Dan questions, I was like [surprised] – I don’t even say his name. When my marriage ended, you know that term when someone says, ‘To pull the rug from under you?’

“That’s the only way I can describe it. It’s like someone went like that and I fell over, and I couldn’t get back up. [It was] like I broke both my arms and legs.”

Admitting he didn’t think he was going to “get out of it”, he concluded: “I went back to live with my mum because I didn’t want to be in my house, because there were too many memories of things in there.”
