British television personality Jeremy Clarkson has revealed somber news regarding his health, delivered in the final episodes of his Prime Video documentary series, Clarkson’s Farm, where he revealed to his farm’s manager that he has prostate cancer.
Clarkson, who rose to fame as the host of both iterations of the wildly successful British motoring series Top Gear, is a household name in Britain and, through the relaunched version of his beloved show, gained international recognition. The 65-year-old also writes a weekly column for the U.K. broadsheet The Times, espousing his libertarian, cantankerous, anti-authority perspective on politics and cultural matters, and is a frequent guest on various television programs in the U.K.
The fifth and latest season of Clarkson’s Farm, which follows Clarkson as he attempts to run a farm in England’s Cotswolds region, opened with the host undergoing a procedure to unblock coronary arteries. “I had a medical, remember, back in May?” Clarkson told his manager, Kaleb Cooper, and his land agent, Charlie Ireland, in the penultimate episode of Clarkson’s Farm. “I disappeared the other week, and I had a biopsy, and it is cancer, and it’s aggressive.” Clarkson promises his team members that he will “be fine.”
