Jeremy Clarkson has announced that he is in remission for prostate cancer.

The former Top Gear presenter has confirmed the delightful news in an interview with The Times, announcing that a prostate specific antigen or PSA test had revealed no evidence of the disease.

This comes a week after Clarkson had revealed that he had been diagnosed with an "aggressive" form of cancer during the final episodes of the fifth series of Clarkson's Farm. He had also warned his followers on Instagram that the latest episodes would be a "difficult watch". 

The episode shower Clarkson in hospital, where he says: "some of the treatment has gone awry".

"I'm going to be here for a little while," he adds. "I don't know what's going to happen."

"If this is all successful, I'll see you for season six. And if it isn't, I won't. Take care, everyone". More on this from Nova here.

"go an get checked"

Earlier, Jeremy Clarkson had also revealed to The Times, that he had met up with former British Prime Minister, David Cameron to talk about prostate cancer diagnosis with other household names.

"I was talking to David (Cameron) about it earlier this morning. He said the amount of people that come up to him is mostly in public conveniences and say, if you hadn't owned up to it, I wouldn't have got checked, and they wouldn't have found it", Clarkson told The Times. 

"So now there's a group of us, (food writer) Giles Coren, David, me, one or two other people, and we meet for lunch every so often", he added. "Everybody has different Gleason scores, and everybody has different Stockholm and PSA scores. We all compare notes and I actually get muddled with what mine were". 

Clarkson went on to add that this illness "landed harder than I thought it would".

He also urged people to face their fears and get themselves checked.

"This is why I have to say to everybody who's reading this, please, please, please go and get checked", Clarkson stated.

"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". 

Jeremy Clarkson also suffered from complications during his treatment, which he also revealed to The Times were caused by him resuming a course of tablets for earlier heart issues.

"That was horrific and it was all my own fault", Clarkson said. "Two or three weeks after the cancer operation, I thought I'd better put myself back on those blood thinners. Big mistake, huge". 

The Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? host also explained that this led to a "very big emergency in the middle of the night", while describing the treatment which followed as "horrible".

Clarkson went on to add: "I am without a doubt, officially, the world's luckiest man".

The presenter also shared a separate message via the X account of his pub, The Farmer's Dog: "The reason why I'm fine is because the doctors caught the prostate cancer early, and they caught it early because I got tested".
