Former Top Gear co host, Jeremy Clarkson has revealed that he has been diagnosed with cancer.
Clarkson announced this news during the final episodes of the fifth series of Clarkson's Farm, which had premiered overnight on Amazon Prime Video. Prior to this, Clarkson had warned his fans on Instagram that the latest episodes would be a "difficult watch".
In the episode, Clarkson can be seen telling co stars, Charlie Ireland and Kaleb Cooper, that he has known since May, describing it "aggressive" but insists it's at a "really early stage".
The episode cuts to 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".
Clarkson also underwent a procedure on his heart two years earlier, having suffered a "sudden deterioration" to his health. He also told the Sunday Times that he was "days away" from potentially becoming very ill.
"It seems that of the arteries feeding my heart with nourishing blood, one was completely blocked and the second of three was heading that way", the presenter said at the time.
In another interview with The Sun, Clarkson said that he was warned by doctors that "a lot" of the work he does "will have to go" – and he must "cut my alarmingly high levels of cholesterol".
Jeremy Clarkson co presented popular motoring show, Top Gear, alongside Richard Hammond and James May, as well as Amazon's The Grand Tour. He also hosts Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?.
