- Jeremy Clarkson grappled with going public about his cancer diagnosis and contemplated whether he should “disappear” from Clarkson’s Farm while undergoing treatment.
- The 66-year-old TV personality revealed he had been diagnosed with an “aggressive” form of prostate cancer in the final episodes of the Prime Video show’s fifth season.
- In a new interview, he said the “Clarkson mentality” was not to tell anybody: “You are not allowed to be ill, and if you are ill, you certainly don’t own up to it. You just go to work as usual.”
- Clarkson said he had to “wrestle” with the decision before realising he couldn’t disappear from the show, because people would wonder where he was.
- Clarkson’s Farm follows the former Top Gear host as he redevelops a 100-acre farm, Diddly Squat, in the Cotswolds.
