Clarkson’s Farm star Jeremy Clarkson’s eldest daughter has opened up publicly for the first time about her father’s divorce from her mother, Francis Cain. Emily Clarkson, 30, discussed her experience on her podcast ‘Should I Delete That?’ with co-host Alex Light.
The conversation turned to relationships, prompting Emily to reflect on her parents’ separation in 2014, following a 21-year marriage.
She shared her perspective on what it was like to navigate a high-profile divorce, given her father’s fame from hosting Top Gear at the time.
Emily described the unusual experience of having her family’s personal life under scrutiny.
She said: “My parents got separated publicly, it all happened quite publicly, and it’s a really weird thing as a kid. It’s weird as a kid to read something that you’re upset about.”

Now, as an adult, Emily acknowledged that she had never spoken about this aspect of her life before, but felt it was relevant to share.
She continued: “No-one talks to you about the press element because they’re just going to talk about… you know, you focus on the big fire which is in the house, rather than what it looks like from outside.”
This isn’t the first time Emily has discussed the challenges that come with having a famous father.
As an author and podcaster, she has taken steps to shield herself from unwanted attention, including hiring a private investigator to track down online trolls from gossip site Tattle Life.
Emily shared on the same podcast how a gossip forum became their central concern. She said: “Tattle has been the biggest thorn in our sides. You and I, Al, have genuinely been heartbroken by this; it’s affected me to the point where I’ve had to block it on all devices.”
The strain was felt deeply as she mentioned, “It felt really nice to know they could be found, and if you push me too far, I know who you are. If I read my thread, I’d think I’m the worst person in the world.”
Emily has also opened up on her rapport with Lisa Hogan, Jeremy’s partner, which remains positive.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Lisa expressed joy that her daughter from her previous relationship is getting along well with Jeremy’s daughter.
She said: “Emily has this podcast called Shall I Delete That? and she spoke about my daughter in such a sweet way that I burst out crying.
“They’ve known each other for nine years, and I think they really care about each other.”
