Fans of Jeremy Clarkson were heartbroken to learn that the TV presenter is battling prostate cancer. During a season 5 episode of Prime Video’s Clarkson’s Farm, he revealed the grim news while speaking with Charlie Ireland and Kaleb Cooper.
“I’ve got cancer,” Jeremy simply stated, to which Kaleb replied, “No, you haven’t. Where?” In true Jeremy style, he quipped, “Where it is is of no concern of anybody. I’ve known since May [2026].”
While acknowledging that he had “disappeared off the other week,” to visit a doctor and get a biopsy, the Top Gear alum was officially diagnosed with an “aggressive” form of the cancer, but he pointed out that it was “really early.”
“I was praying we could get the harvest done, and then I could go and get some treatment, but it’s going to be slap bang in the middle,” Jeremy said. “I’m not daft, it’s going to be in about two weeks, maybe three. I’ll have to go and have an operation, and then, the operation is in and out in no time, but your body’s out of action for a little while.”
To keep the tone lighthearted, Jeremy noted that he “started season 5 with me in a hospital bed, and we are at the end of season 5 and I’m back in a hospital bed.” He then noted that “some of the treatment” had “gone awry.”
“What I wanted to say was if this is all successful, I’ll see you for season 6, and if it isn’t, I won’t,” he said, before concluding, “Take care, everyone.”
