Jeremy Clarkson’s Trousers Slip and Lisa Hogan Fumes at NTAs After Mounjaro-Fueled Weight Loss

Jeremy Clarkson, the irreverent 65-year-old presenter and farmer, took center stage at the National Television Awards (NTAs) on September 10, 2025, at London’s O2 Arena, where his Amazon Prime series Clarkson’s Farm clinched the Factual Entertainment award. But the night was as much about his wardrobe malfunction and a snubbed partner as it was about his triumph. Sporting a noticeably slimmer frame after shedding two stone with the help of Mounjaro, a type 2 diabetes drug, Clarkson jokingly blamed his slipping trousers on the weight-loss jab as he accepted the award. His partner, Lisa Hogan, rushed to his aid, grabbing his waistband to keep things dignified. “I’m on Mounjaro, my trousers are falling down,” Clarkson quipped, adding, “Lisa’s going to hold my trousers up whilst I make a very short speech.”

The speech, however, turned chaotic. Clarkson thanked the public for their votes and praised his fellow farmers for their tireless work, name-checking several team members on stage. In a classic Clarkson blunder, he forgot to mention Lisa, a key figure on Clarkson’s Farm, prompting her to roll her eyes and raise her hand in mock exasperation as the team chuckled. Never one to shy away from controversy, Clarkson also took a swipe at other celebrities in the room, boasting that his team “worked way harder than anyone else in this room.” The moment encapsulated his trademark blend of humor, boldness, and occasional tactlessness.

Clarkson’s transformation, driven by Mounjaro, has been a topic of fascination. He previously tried Ozempic, another diabetes drug, but found it ineffective, leaving him feeling unwell and half a stone heavier. “Ozempic didn’t work,” he told The Sun. “I was sick a lot, and after I had vomited, I figured I was empty and could have another bottle and maybe another bar of chocolate too.” Mounjaro, which mimics hormones to regulate appetite and blood sugar, proved a game-changer. “Microdosing” the drug helped him lose nearly two stone, though he admitted to The Sun that his love for alcohol remains a hurdle. “I eat pretty well, I just drink too much—that’s the essence of it,” he said. “If I could just do something about that, but then I think, ‘what’s the point?’”

His weight loss journey coincides with a health scare that shook him to his core, detailed in the newly released fifth series of Clarkson’s Farm, with the first four episodes dropping on Prime on September 12, 2025. Between August and October 2024, while working to open his new pub, The Farmer’s Dog, Clarkson became gravely ill. “I was becoming more and more ill, but had no idea I was staring death in the face,” he revealed. The ordeal culminated in a two-hour emergency surgery to insert stents, improving blood flow to his heart and alleviating chest pain. Doctors warned him to scale back his workload, suggesting golf as a less strenuous alternative. Clarkson, however, dismissed the idea, insisting he’s not ready to retire. “There’s little chance I’ll stop working,” he said, though he admitted his new diet—centered on celery—was “horrific” for a renowned meat-lover.

The health scare shifted Clarkson’s perspective, particularly after a 2017 pneumonia battle that landed him in the hospital. Writing in The Times in March 2025, he reflected on his struggle with gluttony: “My body lost the ability to deal with it, but my mind still wanted to breakfast on Cadbury Fruit & Nut.” Mounjaro’s appetite-suppressing effects helped him regain control, though he remains skeptical of cosmetic grooming. “Lisa’s given up on trying to make me look presentable,” he told The Sun. “Trimming eyebrows? What does it matter? I’m 65, it’s not like I’m David Gandy.”

Lisa Hogan, 51, a former actress and Clarkson’s Farm co-star, has been a steady presence in his life and on the show, often managing the Diddly Squat Farm shop and navigating the chaos of Clarkson’s farming ventures. Her eye-roll at the NTAs wasn’t just about being overlooked; it reflected the playful dynamic that has endeared the couple to fans. Lisa’s quick thinking during the trouser incident saved Clarkson from embarrassment, but her frustration was palpable when he failed to acknowledge her contribution to the series. The moment was lighthearted yet telling, showcasing the couple’s chemistry and the unpolished charm that defines Clarkson’s Farm.

The series itself continues to resonate, shedding light on the grueling realities of farming while delivering humor and heart. Clarkson’s speech at the NTAs highlighted this, as he praised farmers who “work incredibly hard” for little reward, a theme central to the show’s appeal. Its fifth series dives deeper into these struggles, with Clarkson’s health scare and pub venture adding personal stakes to the narrative. The Farmer’s Dog, his latest project, faced delays due to his illness, but its opening marks a new chapter for the Diddly Squat brand.

Clarkson’s weight loss and health challenges have humanized the often brash presenter, revealing vulnerabilities beneath his larger-than-life persona. His candidness about Mounjaro, from its successes to its challenges, mirrors the transparency that makes Clarkson’s Farm compelling. Fans have watched him grapple with everything from crop failures to bureaucratic red tape, and now, his own mortality. The NTAs win, celebrated alongside co-stars like Kaleb Cooper and Charlie Ireland, underscores the show’s cultural impact, beating out competitors in a crowded field.

As Clarkson navigates his health and career, Lisa remains a grounding force, even if she’s occasionally left fuming by his oversights. The trouser-pulling, eye-rolling moment at the NTAs encapsulates their dynamic: supportive, chaotic, and undeniably entertaining. With Clarkson’s Farm on hiatus after its fifth series, fans are left wondering what’s next for the team—and whether Clarkson’s trousers will stay up without Lisa’s quick reflexes.
