Jeremy Clarkson has announced he is in remission from prostate cancer, days after he shared he was living with the disease.

During the latest episode of his show Clarkson's Farm, the TV presenter said he had been diagnosed with an "aggressive" form of the cancer in 2025.

In an interview with the Times, Clarkson confirmed that follow-up testing two months ago showed no indication of cancer and that he is now officially in remission.

"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," he said.

In a video shared over the weekend on the X account of his pub, The Farmer's Dog, Clarkson said: "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."

The TV presenter then encouraged his followers to get tested, and to not be one of the "12,000 people, men [who] die every year in the UK from prostate cancer".

Speaking to the Times, the 66-year-old said he now has regular blood tests to monitor his health and knows there is a 40% chance of those who have prostate cancer will get it again.

"I try to be positive. I've decided to be one of the 60% who doesn't have a recurrence," Clarkson said.

The former Top Gear presenter had spoken of his diagnosis and how a portion of his prostate had been removed as part of his treatment during an episode of Clarkson's Farm released on Wednesday.

The programme ended dramatically with Clarkson in a hospital bed, telling viewers: "If this is all successful, I'll see you for season six, and if it isn't, I won't." He signed off: Take care everyone."

Clarkson's cancer diagnosis came after a routine medical check in May 2025, according to the Times.

"This is why I have to say to everybody who's reading this, please, please, please go and get checked," he told the paper.

"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."

During his interview, Clarkson said he had met up with former prime minister Lord David Cameron and restaurant critic Giles Coren, who have also been diagnosed with the disease, to discuss their health.

"We started season five with me in a hospital bed, and here we are at the end of season five and I'm back in the hospital bed," he said on the programme.
