This week Jeremy Clarkson shared that he has been diagnosed with an “aggressive” form of prostate cancer.
The former Top Gear host opened up about his diagnosis for the first time in the latest season of his reality show, Clarkson’s Farm.
He told farm manager Kaleb Cooper and farmhand Charlie Ireland that he would have to step away from the farm “for a while”.
The TV presenter confirmed that he would be “fine” as they had caught the cancer in the “early really stage”.
His partner, Lisa Hogan, who is from Ireland broke her silence after the episodes aired to share her gratefulness for the well-wishes.
“Thank you for all the support today,” she wrote as she re-shared a post from Prostate Cancer UK.
The cancer charity shared a post about Jeremy, saying: “We want to thank @JeremyClarkson1 for sharing his prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment in #ClarksonsFarm, raising vital awareness with the millions of men and families watching.
“Thankfully he found the disease at an early stage, but sadly this is still not the experience of many men across the UK.

“Over 10,000 dads, brothers, sons and friends are diagnosed too late for a cure every year, and today the responsibility to know if you’re at higher risk and to act on it rest entirely on men’s shoulders.
“This must change. Any men worried by Jeremy’s story should take our 30 second online Risk Checker or have a chat with their GP about a quick and simple blood test to check for any signs.”
We are wishing Jeremy all the best.
