Jeremy Clarkson has shared a positive health update, after revealing his prostate cancer diagnosis on his show Clarkson’s Farm last week.
The 66-year-old updated fans on Instagram, with a video of himself walking in nature.
“The more observant among you will have noticed that I’m not dead. And I’m not just not dead, I’m perfectly fine,” he said.
He then encouraged fans to get tested.
“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 said.
The TV personality added that he knew people are often hesitant to get tested due to the invasive nature of it, but assured fans that there are other ways to get diagnosed including a blood test.
He even encouraged fans to “lie” if their doctors refused to test them for cancer because they may not have any symptoms.
In a previous interview with The Times, he opened up on his diagnosis and treatment, saying that he is “the world’s luckiest man”.
He shared that he was offered “a bewildering amount of choices” for treatment and chose a high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), which involves having a probe inserted into the rectum to destroy the cancer cells.
Clarkson was told that he was officially in remission two months ago, during a follow-up PSA test.
However, he still needs to monitor his condition to prevent a recurrence, which up to 40 per cent of cancer patients experience.
In Australia, there were around 28,868 new cases of prostate cancer diagnosed in 2025, with an estimated death of 3,975, according to Cancer Australia. This makes up 13 per cent of all male deaths from cancer in 2025.
He again urged fans to get themselves checked, saying “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. I’ve seen so many people die of cancer.”
Clarkson also told The Times that the reason why he ended up in hospital again in the season finale of Clarkson’s Farm was because he resumed a course of tablets he had been on for vascular and cardiac treatments without consulting his doctors first.
