Emily Clarkson: Everything You Need To Know About Jeremy Clarkson’s Daughter
Emily Clarkson is the daughter of Jeremy Clarkson and his ex-wife Frances Cain. She was born on 21 July 1994 and is currently married to Alex Andrew with a baby on the way.
Emily may not be following in her father’s footsteps into the world of cars, but instead pursuing her own career as a writer with her blog Pretty Normal Me (now unpublished from the web), and a published book under the same name.
She’s also become a role model across the world for men and women by shedding light on the fake world behind social media with her own Instagram dedicated to educating people on how photos and videos can be edited to make the user look ‘better’.
She has since been featured in many leading UK media sites and has even written her own columns on the subject of social media.
Rejecting Love Island
In 2020 she was approached by ITV who asked her if she wanted to star on the show Love Island. In a column written for The Sun, Emily explained why she turned down the offer:
She wrote:
“On Thursday a producer at ITV rang, wanting to know if I was a) single and b) interested in appearing in the next series of Love Island.
“And if I wasn’t single but was interested, would I dump my boyfriend, Alex, for the opportunity…
“I think what the producer was trying to tell me was that they wanted someone not quite as fit as the rest of them, but a bit smarter. No offence.
“It was a flattering call… [But] I am so not Love Island – or the face of the inevitable Missguided deal every female Islander leaves with.”
She went on to write how she believed her “stomach rolls and heat rash” would make her a target for trolls, and how she didn’t want to have sex on TV when her parents would be watching. In the end, she joked that the resulting clothing deals just weren’t worth it.
Emily and Cars
In the above video with DriveTribe, Emily explained how growing up with Clarkson as a father meant that Top Gear always felt like her big brother. Cars had a definite impact on her life with her dad constantly test driving cars to review and write about, and her seeing all the press information posted to their family. She explains how her party trick at school was recognising and correctly naming any car on the road. Despite this, while Clarkson still influences her choice of cars, she’s never been interested enough to pursue this further.
Emily’s first car was a Ford Fiesta and now currently owns a Fiesta ST, which she declares to be the fastest car she’s driven.
Emily Clarkson Reveals She’s Pregnant
The Grand Tour host, Jeremy Clarkson, is set to welcome his first grandchild as of October 2022.
Emily made the announcement early this month that she is expecting her first child with her husband, Alex Andrew.
As part of her weekly, ‘Feel Good Friday’ post, Emily took the opportunity to share some feel good news of her own, with a black and white video of her and her husband gently showing off her bump. Emily captioned the post:
“We’re so delighted to share that we’re expecting a baby girl in early 2023”

“I love them both, so the whole thing has been a joy.
“I mentioned before how wonderful it is when your daughter marries someone you actually like. I probably would be a nightmare if I didn’t like him.”
We’re very excited to see where Emily’s work takes her and how she’s going to further influence the ideas around social media. We’re also wishing her and her family the best as they ready themselves to welcome their baby into the world. We’re confident he’s going to be a great mum.
