What kind of cancer does Jeremy Clarkson have?

Jeremy Clarkson revealed his devastating cancer diagnosis to Kaleb Cooper and Charlie Ireland, who were distraught.

Clarkson’s Farm is back with the final episodes of season five and the series took a tragic turn as Jeremy Clarkson announced a shocking health diagnosis.

The start of the season saw the former Top Gear host open up about his heart scare, but he had more bad news to reveal in episode seven.

Clarkson pulled land agent Charlie Ireland and farm manager Kaleb Cooper in for a meeting where he tried to hold back tears as he announced: “I’ve got cancer.”

“I’ve known since May”, he told Kaleb, who was in disbelief and was seen wiping away tears. “I had a medical, you know, back in May. I disappeared off the other week and I had a biopsy done and it is cancer, and it’s aggressive, but it’s really early.”

He hoped he would be able to have treatment after the harvest, but Kaleb urged him to “look after himself” and leave the farm to others to deal with.

“I just wish you a very, very speedy recovery,” Charlie replied, with Clarkson reassuring him: “I promise I’ll be fine.”

After dealing with the harvest, Clarkson announced the cancer was in his prostate and that he had undergone a procedure to remove part of it.

He confirmed: “The prostate, 10 per cent of it’s dead. The 10 per cent where the cancer is.”

Later in the episode, he shared from a hospital bed that some of the treatment had “gone awry”.

“I’m going to be here for a little while,” he said. “I don’t know what’s going to happen. What I wanted to say was if this is all successful, I’ll see you in season six, and if it isn’t, I won’t. Take care, everyone.”

Before the final episodes of season five aired, Clarkson took to Instagram to warn viewers they would be “really, really difficult” to watch.

He shared: “Hello everybody, I have got some good news and some sombre news. Good news is Hawkstone [brewery] has finally had an advert accepted and it’ll be shown just before kick-off in the England match.

“Sombre news, Clarkson’s Farm. Ordinarily we try to keep the show charming and cheerful, but the final two episodes which drop in the middle of the night tonight are none of those things really.

“They are a difficult watch, they are really, really difficult.”

Since the release of the episodes, the star has not given any further updates about his health.
