Clarkson reveals cancer diagnosis

“I’ve got cancer,” Clarkson told farm manager Kaleb Cooper and land agent Charlie Ireland during discussions about harvest planning.

The TV presenter said he expected to be “fine”, but would be out of action “for a while,” before revealing in the final episode of the series that he had undergone an operation to remove part of his prostate.

“I won’t know whether it’s worked or not until November probably,” he said.

“The prostate, 10 per cent of it’s dead, the 10 per cent where the cancer is.”
