Jeremy Clarkson reveals 'aggressive' cancer diagnosis

Jeremy Clarkson has revealed he has cancer.

The former Top Gear presenter shared the diagnosis 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 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".

The programme later cuts to Clarkson in hospital, where he says "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."

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

He told The Sunday Times 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.

Clarkson 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".

Clarkson is best known for presenting the BBC's Top Gear and then fronting another car show, The Grand Tour, on Amazon's streaming service.

He also hosts Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?.

Clarkson's Farm debuted in 2021. He has since become one of the most vocal critics of the government's inheritance tax plans for some farmers.
