\n\tJeremy Clarkson<\/a> has declared himself the \u201cworld\u2019s luckiest man\u201d after he survived two major health scares during filming on Season 5 of Clarkson\u2019s Farm.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe former Top Gear presenter underwent a heart procedure in the first episode of the Amazon Prime Video<\/a> series, while Season 5 concluded on the bombshell of his cancer diagnosis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tClarkson revealed to his Diddly Squat colleagues, Charlie Ireland and Kaleb Cooper, that he had contracted an \u201caggressive\u201d cancer. He did not reveal the location of the disease, but has now confirmed it was prostate cancer.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat was May 2025. More than a year on, Clarkson has now shared that his cancer is in remission after he underwent ultrasound treatment. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn an interview with The Sunday Times newspaper, the presenter said his treatment was not without complications, which included having a catheter and then a later incident in which he took blood-thinning drugs for his heart when he should not have done.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe hinted at this in the final episode of Clarkson\u2019s Farm Season 5. Lying in a hospital bed, he said: \u201cSome of the treatment has gone awry, let\u2019s say. I\u2019m going to be here for a little while \u2026 I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen. If this is all successful, I\u2019ll see you for season 6. And if it isn\u2019t, I won\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tClarkson did not go into detail about what occurred, but told The Sunday Times it was \u201chorrific and it was all my own fault.\u201d He added: \u201cIt was quite spectacularly painful. It was beyond Defcon 1 on the pain scale.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe ex-Grand Tour host said he did a prostate test two months ago, which revealed no indication of cancer, and now he is officially in remission. He must have regular blood tests to monitor his situation.<\/p>\n

\n\tClarkson urged men to get tested. \u201cIf there\u2019s just one person, a single person in the world, who watches Clarkson\u2019s Farm and thinks, you know what, I\u2019m gonna get myself checked, and discovers it early, and it\u2019s treated, and they lead a normal life, then it\u2019s worth being an illness bore,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jeremy Clarkson has declared himself the \u201cworld\u2019s luckiest man\u201d after he survived two major health scares during filming…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":488433,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[444,430,14185,156,14183,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-488432","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-amazon-prime-video","tag-celebrities","tag-clarksons-farm","tag-entertainment","tag-jeremy-clarkson","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/488432","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=488432"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/488432\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/488433"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=488432"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=488432"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=488432"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
