Cute couple: Jeremy Clarkson appeared ready to take the next step with girlfriend Lisa Hogan as they made their first public appearance at the Roundhouse Gala in London on Thursday

Lisa looked effortlessly chic in a pair of black satin trousers that she teamed with a tailored blazer and grey fluted sleeve top, whilst Jeremy - who was divorced from his wife, Frances, in 2014, following 21 years of marriage - looked dapper in a fitted black suit. 

Lisa is an Irish-born mother-of-three who separated from playboy Baron Steven Bentinck - known as Baron Bonkers - in 2005.  

She was 'discovered' by John Cleese in the early 1990s when she was struggling to get a second-hand-clothes business off the ground.

He subsequently employed her as a researcher, became a close friend and even gave her a role in Fierce Creatures, his follow-up to A Fish Called Wanda.

Jeremy and Lisa have kept their relationship low-key, but were spotted enjoying a romantic getaway in Barbados last month.  

A passer-by told The Sunday Mirror, which reported they were dating: 'Jeremy looked very relaxed around Lisa, and they seemed very taken with each other.

'They were laughing and joking around like a new couple.'

Adorned with gold brocade print, the actress ensured she would have all eyes on her as she paraded across the hall.

He divorced Jo in 2008 and in 2011 they became involved - and tied the knot at the Dorchester Hotel in London that December after a whirlwind six month romance, with Rod Stewart acting as the best man.

Sally gave birth to twins Gracie Jane and Alice Rose - Ronnie's fifth and sixth children, but her first - in May.

‘There are other children being born to younger people who aren’t loved. Which do you prefer?’ 

She also described her husband as 'eternally young' and admitted she's 'not blind' to his age.
