Jeremy Clarkson reveals 'aggressive' prostate cancer is in remission

TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson has revealed that he is officially in remission after being diagnosed with "aggressive" prostate cancer.

The 66-year-old confirmed in an interview with The Times that a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test two months ago revealed no sign of the disease.

Clarkson revealed in the latest episodes of the fifth season of Clarkson's Farm that he had been diagnosed with "aggressive" prostate cancer that had been found early.

The TV host has met up with former prime minister Lord David Cameron to talk about their prostate cancer diagnoses with other famous faces.

He said: "I was talking to David (Cameron) about it earlier this morning. He said the amount of people that come up to him is mostly in public conveniences and say, if you hadn't owned up to it, I wouldn't have got checked, and they wouldn't have found it.

"So now there's a group of us, (food writer) Giles Coren, David, me, one or two other people, and we meet for lunch every so often.

"Everybody has different Gleason scores, and everybody has different Stockholm and PSA scores. We all compare notes and I actually get muddled with what mine were."

Clarkson said the diagnosis had "landed harder than I thought it would".

He added: "This is why I have to say to everybody who's reading this, please, please, please go and get checked.

"It's not uncomfortable, it's not undignified, and it's a no-brainer. I did, and that's why I'm sitting here talking to you 11 months down the line."

Speaking from a hospital bed at the end of the season finale, Clarkson revealed he had suffered from complications during treatment, which he told The Times had been caused by him resuming a course of tablets for his earlier vascular and cardiac problems.

He said: "That was horrific and it was all my own fault."

He continued: "Two or three weeks after the cancer operation, I thought I'd better put myself back on those blood thinners. Big mistake, huge."

He said it resulted in a "very big emergency in the middle of the night" and the treatment required as a result of that was "horrible".

The diagnosis came almost two years after the TV presenter underwent a heart procedure, which saw him fitted with two stents to improve blood flow to the heart.

He said his doctor had told him to stop working following the operation and that he had been advised to replace work with golf in a column for The Sun at the time.

Clarkson said: "I am without a doubt, officially, the world's luckiest man."

The celebrity farmer previously stopped smoking after contracting pneumonia on holiday in Spain.

In a post on the X account of his pub, The Farmer's Dog, Clarkson added: "The reason why I'm fine is because the doctors caught the prostate cancer early, and they caught it early because I got tested."
