British television personality Jeremy Clarkson revealed on his farm reality show that he has prostate cancer. Clarkson, 66, said that the disease is aggressive, but was detected early.
He gave advance warning on social media that he would share somber news on the final episodes of the fifth season of ‘Clarkson’s Farm,’ the show based on the challenges of running Diddly Squat Farm in Oxfordshire.
In one of the episodes, he breaks the news to farm manager Kaleb Cooper and consultant Charlie Ireland during harvest planning discussions saying, ‘I’ve got cancer.’ Clarkson underwent a heart procedure two years ago.
Since taking up farming in 2019, Clarkson has become an outspoken agriculture advocate who has railed against the government’s decision to introduce inheritance tax on farmland.
In the finale to season five, Clarkson spoke from a hospital bed, saying a surgeon removed part of his prostate and he would know his prognosis in November.
