Jeremy Clarkson has shared an optimistic health update after revealing his prostate cancer diagnosis last week. 

After being diagnosed with an "aggressive" cancer in May, the Clarkson's Farm star is now in remission. In a new interview with The Sunday Times, the 66-year-old said a follow-up Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test he had two months ago found no indication of cancer. 

"I try to be positive. I’ve decided to be one of the 60 per cent who doesn’t have a recurrence," he told the publication.

Jeremy was treated for a malignant tumour in August after a routine exam in May last year. Speaking of his health scare, he said: "It was an aggressive type of cancer. It could have spread, it could have gone into the pancreas, it could have gone anywhere, and that would have been trouble.”

Jeremy previously underwent emergency heart surgery in October 2024 to insert a stent after doctors discovered one of his arteries was completely blocked. "I am without a doubt, officially, the world's luckiest man," the Clarkson's Farm star said. 

Cancer diagnosis

Jeremy shared his cancer diagnosis in the latest season of Prime Video's Clarkson's Farm, which aired on 17 June. The television personality broke the devastating news to fellow farmers Kaleb Cooper and Charlie Ireland while discussing plans for the upcoming harvest. 

Jeremy's diagnosis came after a routine medical examination led to further investigations. "I had a medical, you remember back in May," he said. "I disappeared off the other week and I had a biopsy and it is cancer and it's aggressive, but it's really early," he said. 

"I was praying we could get the harvest done and then I could go and get some treatment but it's going to be slap bang in the middle," he explained.

Health updates

Shortly after Jeremy shared his diagnosis last week, his long-term girlfriend Lisa Hogan, who he has been in a relationship with since 2017, broke her silence on the news.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, Lisa posted an image of the British TV star sitting outdoors at Diddly Squat Farm with a camera. Alongside the image, she penned: "Back at the farm."

The 66-year-old then took to Instagram on Saturday, 20 June to issue a personal video message. "You will have noticed that I'm not dead," he began the video candidly, while walking around outdoors. 

"The reason why I'm fine is because the doctors caught the prostate cancer early, and they caught it early because I got tested," he added, urging others to do the same.
