Jeremy Clarkson has spoken about being in remission from aggressive prostate cancer, in a new interview. The star of Clarkson’s Farm, 66, has said he was ‘unwell for a short amount of time’ after doctors ‘found a little something’ during his annual prostate check. He was given a menu of treatment plans and chose the HIFU route, a minimally invasive procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to heat and destroy targeted cancer cells. Jeremy told The Times it was ‘not nice’ to have to tell his children he had cancer but simply went into hospital, was knocked out, then woke up and two weeks later was back in his tractor. He is now feeling leaner after losing two stone down to Mounjaro rather than ‘steely will’ and in series five, Jeremy’s girlfriend Lisa Hogan, advised him to adjust his diet and start eating things like Greek yoghurt. Asked if he is going to stick to his new low-fat protein rich regime, Jeremy defiantly said: ‘No,’ while breaking out a NiQuitin lozenge. Jeremy Clarkson, 66, has said he won’t be sticking to his healthy diet after getting the all-clear from prostate cancer – because he ‘hasn’t worked his a**e off for 40 years to have no joy’ Jeremy told The Times it was ‘not nice’ to have to tell his children he had cancer but simply went into hospital, was knocked out, then woke up and two weeks later was back in his tractor.

I can become a herbivore,’ he said. ‘And yes, I can got for 20-mile hikes and do 20,000 steps a day.’But the truth is, there has to be some joy in life as well. And not drinking and not eating a pork chop means there is less joy in life. And I haven’t worked my a**e off for 40 years to have no joy in my old age. So I’m having joy in my old age.’ However, Jeremy is being mindful of his health and has started to walk more.Back in June, Jeremy said he was mindful of trying to live longer and wants to be able to see his grandchildren grow up, so he has been ‘driving slower’ and eating more vegetarian food. Jeremy has two grandchildren through his daughter Emily and her husband Alex Andrew. Arlo, who is three, and Xanthe, 18 months. Jeremy revealed he has been diagnosed with an ‘aggressive’ form of cancer back in mid-June. The former Top Gear host shared the news in the final two episodes of the fifth season of Clarkson’s Farm, which were released on Amazon Prime Video.The latest two episodes of Clarkson’s Farm saw the visibly emotional host relay the news to his shaken co-stars Charlie and Kaleb Cooper, who run his Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotswolds with him.On the show the trio were talking about their plans for the upcoming harvest when the broadcaster dropped the bombshell news on them.In the scene, Clarkson leaned back into his chair and, while struggling to keep his composure, tells the shell-shocked pair: ‘I’ve got cancer.’A disbelieving Kaleb quickly says back: ‘No, you haven’t. Where?’ to which Clarkson says: ‘Where it is of no concern of anybody. I’ve known since May.’The father-of-three goes on to reveal he has been diagnosed with an ‘aggressive’ form of cancer and will have to take time off during the harvest.He says: ‘I had a medical, you remember back in May. I disappeared off the other week and I had a biopsy and it is cancer and it’s aggressive, but it’s really early so the treatment will be, you know.’I was praying we could get the harvest done and then I could go and get some treatment but it’s going to be slap bang in the middle.’Meanwhile, a tearful Kaleb throws his support behind him, saying: ‘Look after yourself, you go and do… if you need anything just ring.’Clarkson said he needs an operation and as a result his body will be ‘out of action for a little while’, adding that he ‘wasn’t thrilled’ at the prospect.At the end of that month, Jeremy was seen lying in a hospital bed after being rushed to hospital after he restarted blood-thinning medication for his heart problems without getting the okay from his doctor. He later said: ‘That was horrific and it was all my own fault. I’d been on drugs for heart issues and I had to come off them during the cancer treatment.’During his latest interview, a winking Jeremy said he has a ‘tax plan’ and jokes that he needs to live six more years to get around the UK’s seven year rule that states any gift given to an individual during a lifetime can be free of inheritance tax should the giver live for seven more years afterwards. Clarkson was visibly emotional as he revealed his devastating cancer diagnosis in his Prime Video show Clarkson’s Farm He shared the news with shaken co-stars Charlie and Kaleb Cooper during a scene on the show Jeremy does now walk more and eat more vegetarian food because he wants to be able to see his grandchildren grow upAnd on Thursday, Jeremy, Sir Stephen Fry and other top figures called on the new health secretary to ‘change the story on prostate cancer’ and reverse the ‘wrong’ decision to restrict screening.Former prime ministers Lord David Cameron and Rishi Sunak are among those who have signed the letter to Yvette Cooper, who was appointed to the role in July.They say they are all ‘united by a shared belief that no man in this country should die of a cancer that could have been caught in time’.It comes after the UK National Screening Committee ruled in May that prostate cancer screening should be limited to just 1,500 men aged 45 to 61 who have a particular genetic mutation and a family history of an associated cancer.The letter highlights the inequity of the decision, saying: ‘Everyone else at high risk doesn’t have guaranteed access to a test that could save their life.’We believe that’s wrong, and that you, as Secretary of State, have both the evidence and the power to overturn the ruling.’Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in Britain, with 63,000 cases and 12,000 deaths every year – one every 45 minutes.Many are diagnosed too late for treatment to succeed.
