Jeremy Clarkson Enters Remission After 2025 Aggressive Prostate Cancer Diagnosis

3 articles · Updated · BBC.com · Jun 21

Summary

  • Follow-up tests two months ago found no sign of cancer, and Jeremy Clarkson said he is now officially in remission after treatment for an aggressive prostate cancer diagnosed in 2025.
  • Clarkson said the cancer was caught during a routine medical check in May 2025, and part of his prostate was removed — treatment he had revealed only days earlier on Clarkson's Farm.
  • The 66-year-old said he now has regular blood tests and is mindful of a 40% recurrence risk, adding that early testing is why he is still alive 11 months later.
  • Using a video on his pub's X account and his Times interview, Clarkson urged men to get checked, citing 12,000 annual UK deaths from prostate cancer.
