Lisa Hogan offered a charming and humorous birthday tribute to her partner, Jeremy Clarkson, as he celebrated his 65th birthday on Friday.
Sharing an image of herself and Clarkson against the backdrop of a picturesque coastal scene, the Irish actress playfully referenced the milestone in her Instagram caption. She wrote: “Congratulations for Finally achieving those Three Little Letters! After five and a half decades of service to King & country, and indeed across this fine globe, I’m so proud, & frankly astonished, you’ve earned Jeremy Clarkson OAP.”
The post quickly garnered attention, with fans responding with laughter and birthday wishes. Several comments reflected the initial confusion sparked by her message:
- “Hilarious – I genuinely thought I was going to see MBE or OBE.”
- “Occasionally Angry Person? Happy birthday!!”
- “Technically he still has another 2 years to go before he’s a ‘pensioner’!”
Some even misinterpreted the post, believing it signaled an engagement announcement. “I thought you were about to say he proposed,” one fan commented.
The celebratory post followed Hogan’s recent announcement of her forthcoming book, In My Animals and Other Eejits, offering a glimpse into life at Diddly Squat farm. The book promises a year-long journey through the ups and downs of the beloved farm:
- From lambing season to harvest time
- Attempts to navigate the mushroom market
- Constant challenges from bureaucracy and machinery mishaps
Beyond the farm’s daily adventures, Hogan’s book will also share personal stories from her upbringing in Dublin’s Sandymount, detailing her career as an actress, model, and sculptor. Readers can expect tales of the animals—goats, cows, and piglets—that have charmed audiences worldwide.
As Hogan stated: “Barely a day goes by at Diddly Squat without a brilliant or bizarre adventure. I’m so excited to share this book of revelations, tips and trip-ups. It tells the story of a year of crops, breeding, overalls and offspring on the farm, where bale twine is as valuable as a Wall Street commodity. It’s been a joy to write and I’m thrilled to be working with the good people at Penguin Random House to bring it into the world.”
Both Hogan and Clarkson are also preparing for the return of Clarkson’s Farm, season four, on Amazon. The eight new episodes will document Clarkson’s ongoing challenges as he manages his farming operation. This season sees him expanding his entrepreneurial efforts with a newly acquired pub, The Farmer’s Dog in Asthall, Oxfordshire.
Despite the enthusiasm for this new venture, Clarkson has admitted it hasn’t been smooth sailing: “It’s been a total disaster,” he reportedly said about the pub shortly after its opening.
