He made the emotional announcement on Clarkson’s Farm
Jeremy Clarkson has revealed he has been diagnosed with cancer.
He shared the news in episode seven of Clarkson’s Farm, which was released this evening, as he sat down talking to Kaleb Cooper and Charlie Ireland.
The men are talking about an upcoming harvest, which Ireland says they should pencil in for July.
At this point, Clarkson let them know this wouldn’t work for them, prompting Cooper to ask if he was ‘going away’.
“Yeah,” Clarkson replied. “I’ve got cancer.”
In typical Clarkson style, he then added that ‘where was no one’s business’ before revealing that he found out in May following a check-up.

Ireland and Cooper were clearly taken aback by the news, while Clarkson continued: “I’ve known since May. I had a medical, remember? Back in May.
“I disappeared off the other week and had a biopsy done, and it is cancer and it’s aggressive, but it’s really early – so the treatment will be, you know…”
He went on to say that he would be having an operation in a couple of weeks and that he’d be ‘in and out in no time’ but would be out of action for a while.
“I don’t like this,” Cooper said, to which Clarkson quipped: “I wasn’t thrilled.”
Before promising: “I’ll be fine.”
In the final episode of the season, Clarkson, his girlfriend Lisa Hogan, Cooper, and Gerald Cooper are discussing the tough year.
Clarkson said: “So we started the year and I had coronary heart disease and ended it with me with cancer.

“We can dwell as much as we like on all the bad things that have happened on the farm but I think it is better now at the end of the year to focus on things that have happened that are good.”
Cooper than asked: “When will we know if the treatments worked?”
Jeremy replies: “I don’t know, I’ve got a blood test today, there’ll be a blood test and then we’ll know.
