Jeremy Clarkson Reveals Cancer Diagnosis In New Episode Of Clarkson’s Farm

Awful news today as Jeremy Clarkson has revealed he has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer.

The 66-year-old Top Gear legend shared the heartbreaking news during the latest episode of Clarkson’s Farm.

In the episode, Jezza is sat talking with farm manager Kaleb Cooper and land agent Charlie Ireland, discussing an upcoming harvest, which Ireland says they should pencil in for July.

Clarkson says this won’t work, and Cooper asks if he’s ‘going away’.

Clarkson responds: “Yeah. I’ve got cancer.”

“I’ve known since May. I had a medical, remember? Back in May.

“I disappeared off the other week and had a biopsy done, and it is cancer and it’s aggressive, but it’s really early – so the treatment will be, you know…”

He added that he would be having an operation in a couple of weeks and that he’d be ‘in and out in no time’, before promising: “I’ll be fine.”

Later in the episode, Clarkson is seen in a hospital bed, telling viewers: “Some of the treatment has gone awry, let’s say, I’m going to be here for a little while. I’m nil by mouth, I don’t know what’s going to happen.

“What I wanted to say was if this is all successful, I’ll see you for season six and if it isn’t I won’t. Take care everyone.”

Damn. Awful to think of a world without Jeremy Clarkson. The good news is that they caught it early so despite what he says about some of the treatment going awry, here’s hoping he’s out of there soon and recovers quick enough to make it back to our screens before too long.

It wasn’t that long ago that Clarkson was weeks away from a massive heart attack, and he has been looking like a pregnant woman for a few years now to be fair, so I guess his health was always going to catch up with him at some point.

Get well soon, Jezza!
