The Clarkson’s Farm star went into remission for prostate cancer back in June.
Jeremy Clarkson has issued a new cancer update months after going into remission
Jeremy Clarkson has issued a cancer update just months after he went into remission from prostate cancer. Back in June, the Clarkson’s Farm star announced on his Amazon Prime show that he had been diagnosed with an “aggressive” form of the deadly disease in 2025. Days after the episode hit the streaming service, he confirmed to the Sunday Times that follow-up testing two months on had shown no indication of cancer and that he was in remission.
He told the publication: “I am, without a doubt, officially, the world’s luckiest man. 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.”
The Clarkson’s Farm star underwent HIFU treatment as well as surgery
Now, four months on, the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire host has issued a fresh cancer update online. Responding to a fan who was suffering from cancer, he penned: “My sympathies.
“I would always advise a second opinion. I did indeed have the HIFU treatment, which I’m delighted to say has left no side effects.” According to the NHS, HIFU or High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound treatment is a minimally invasive medical treatment that uses high-frequency sound waves to heat and destroy cancer cells.
The treatment typically takes between 60 and 120 minutes under general anaesthetic, and most patients go home the same day. It is most commonly used for localised prostate cancer that has not spread outside of the gland and can treat the entire prostate or just the specific area with cancer.
He also revealed that a portion of his prostate had been removed as part of his treatment before he was given the all clear. In the days after the Clarkson’s Farm finale aired, the former Top Gear host shared a video on his Instagram page encouraging his followers to get tested for prostate cancer.
He began: “You will have noticed that I’m not dead. The reason why I’m fine is because the doctors caught the prostate cancer early, and they caught it early because I got tested.”
Clarkson went on to plead that his loyal fanbase doesn’t become one of the “12,000 people, men [who] die every year in the UK from prostate cancer.” Since his recovery, the 66-year-old told the Sunday Times that he was now having regular blood tests to monitor his health and knew there was a 40% chance of those who have prostate cancer getting it again.
He penned in his weekly column: “I try to be positive. I’ve decided to be one of the 60% who don’t have a recurrence.”
