Jeremy Clarkson reveals 'aggressive' prostate cancer diagnosis

Jeremy Clarkson has revealed he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. The former Top Gear presenter shared the revelation in the final episodes of the fifth series of Clarkson's Farm, which premiered overnight on Amazon Prime Video. The show documents the trials of farming on his land in Oxfordshire. He had warned fans on Instagram that the latest episodes would be a "difficult watch". "They're really, really difficult," he said in a video posted on Tuesday evening. Clarkson is seen revealing the news in the show to co-stars Charlie Ireland and Kaleb Cooper, saying he's known since May. The 66-year-old describes the disease as "aggressive" but says it's at a "really early stage". "I've got cancer," Clarkson tells farm manager Kaleb and land agent Charlie during discussions about harvest planning. The TV host says he expects to be "fine" but will be out of action "for a while", before revealing in the final episode of the series that he has undergone an operation to remove part of his prostate. He says: "I won't know whether it's worked or not until November probably. The prostate, 10% of it's dead, the 10% where the cancer is." In an earlier Instagram post to fans, Clarkson wrote: "Sombre news - Clarkson's Farm, ordinarily we try to keep the show bucolic and charming, and cheerful, but two episodes which drop in the middle of the night tonight are, they're none of those things, really."
