Jeremy Clarkson, 66, Reveals Aggressive Cancer as Treatment Complications Put Him Back in Hospital

Summary

  • Clarkson said the final two episodes of "Clarkson's Farm" season five show him back in a hospital bed after cancer treatment "went a bit awry," leaving him unable to eat and unsure what happens next.
  • The 66-year-old said he was diagnosed in May with an aggressive cancer caught early, and later underwent an operation in which part of his prostate was removed.
  • Clarkson told co-stars the early detection may have saved his life, saying the diagnosis could have made it his "last harvest" if he had not been checked.
  • The episodes were filmed last year and follow another recent health crisis: season five also covers Clarkson's October 2024 heart scare and emergency surgery that left him with two stents.
  • Clarkson has repeatedly urged men to get prostate exams despite embarrassment, citing friends lost to prostate cancer and the value of catching it early.
