Jeremy Clarkson reveals ‘aggressive’ cancer diagnosis

He shared the emotional news on Clarkson’s Farm.

The show, aired on Amazon Prime Video, documents the trials of farming on his land in Oxfordshire.

The former Top Gear presenter had warned fans on Instagram that the latest videos would be a "difficult watch".

"They're really, really difficult," he said in a video posted on Tuesday evening. 

In the clip, Clarkson is seen revealing the news to co-stars Charlie Ireland and Kaleb Cooper.

Clarkson went on to describe the diagnosis as "aggressive" but says it's at a "really early stage".

The programme then cuts to Clarkson in hospital, where he remarks that "some of the treatment has gone awry".

"I'm going to be here for a little while," he says. "I don't know what's going to happen."

He adds: "If this is all successful, I'll see you for season six. And if it isn't, I won't. Take care, everyone."

Clarkson's recent cancer diagnosis comes two years after he underwent a heart procedure after suffering a "sudden deterioration" in his health.

At the time, he told The Sunday Times that doctors believed he was potentially "days away" from becoming very ill.

"It seems that of the arteries feeding my heart with nourishing blood, one was completely blocked and the second of three was heading that way," he said.

The 66-year-old then later told The Sun he had been warned by medics that "a lot" of the work he does "will have to go" – and he must "cut my alarmingly high levels of cholesterol".

Jeremy Clarkson is best known for presenting the BBC’s Top Gear before going on to front The Grand Tour on Amazon’s streaming service. He also hosts Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

His series Clarkson’s Farm, which debuted in 2021, has added a new dimension to his public profile, with Clarkson becoming one of the most outspoken critics of the government’s inheritance tax proposals affecting farmers.
