The Hawkstone brewery co-founder confirmed the news on his hit television show Clarkson’s Farm

Jeremy Clarkson has announced he has been diagnosed with cancer. The former Top Gear presenter and Hawkstone brewery co-founder revealed the news in the latest episodes of season five of Clarkson’s Farm.

He disclosed that the disease was “aggressive” but had been caught at an early stage.

“I’ve got cancer,” Clarkson told farm manager Kaleb Cooper and farmhand Charlie Ireland during discussions about harvest planning.

The TV presenter-turned-farmer said he anticipated being “fine” but would be out of action “for a while”.

Speaking from a hospital bed at the close of the season finale, Clarkson explained he had encountered complications throughout his treatment.

“We started season five with me in a hospital bed and here we are at the end of season five and I’m back in a hospital bed,” he said.

The 66-year-old reflected on the future of the show.

“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,” he said. “Take care, everyone.”

The revelation comes nearly two years after Clarkson underwent a cardiac procedure.

Clarkson’s Farm follows the veteran television presenter and his team as they tackle the trials and tribulations of running Diddly Squat Farm near Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire.

Since taking on the running of his farm in 2019 and subsequently launching his hugely popular reality series, Clarkson has become a prominent champion of British farmers, attending a protest in London against the Government’s plans to impose inheritance tax on farmland in November 2024.

The programme’s sixth series is scheduled to broadcast in 2027.

Clarkson has also found success with his brewery business. Earlier this month, Gloucestershire’s Hawkstone was named the fastest-growing private business in the South West of England by the Sunday Times.

Hawkstone topped the Sunday Times 100 regional list after making £44.9m in sales in the year to March – a staggering 128.19 per cent average annual growth in the last three years.
