Jeremy Clarkson’s girlfriend Lisa Hogan lands new ITV role

Earlier this year, ITV revealed it had commissioned a new dating show called Farming for Love.

The new series is based on the global format of Farmer Wants a Wife, one of the world’s most successful dating shows, which has aired in more than 34 locations worldwide.

The format marks its 25th anniversary this year, and has resulted in more than 250 marriages and over 600 babies.

Farming for Love will follow a group of single farmers as they search for romance.

The series will see farmers choose from a group of applicants before inviting their potential matches to move onto the farm and experience daily life firsthand.

Couples will live and work together, discovering whether romance can truly flourish amid the realities of rural life.

At the end of the series, each farmer will ultimately decide whether they have found “the one.”

Director of entertainment, reality and daytime TV at ITV, Katie Rawcliffe, said: “Farming for Love is funny, feel good and heartwarming.

“It’s a love story with farming at the heart of it.”

Lisa Hogan to host new ITV dating show

It has now been revealed that Jeremy Clarkson’s girlfriend, Lisa Hogan, will host the new series of Farming for Love.

Hogan, speaking to The Sun, said: “Farming is a way of life that requires resilience, patience, a lot of humour, and the same can be said for relationships.

“What I love about Farming for Love is how real it is – there is no hiding or skiving on a farm and that is what makes it such an honest way for people to get to know each other that has had success around the world.

“I am really looking forward to leading this flock in their search for romance.”
