Jeremy Clarkson 's partner Lisa Hogan has shared an update on the star after he revealed he's been diagnosed with 'aggressive' prostate cancer .

The  Clarkson's Farm presenter, 66, has been battling the disease since he was diagnosed last year, with the health battle only made public on Wednesday when it featured in an episode of his Prime Video show.

Following news of his diagnosis, Lisa took to Instagram Stories to thank followers for their kind messages.

She also shared an update on Jeremy's health, by posting a snap of the star taking photos, with the caption: 'Back at the Farm.'

Lisa then reshared a post by Prostate Cancer UK about the Top Gear star's illness, which she captioned: 'Thank you for all the support today. @prostatecanceruk.'

Jeremy shared his diagnosis in the final two episodes of the fifth season of Clarkson's Farm , which were released overnight.

The episodes saw the visibly emotional star relay the news to his shaken co-stars Charlie Ireland and Kaleb Cooper , who run his Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotswolds with him.

He revealed on the series, filmed from late 2024 to September 2025, how he had been diagnosed in May last year, telling Kaleb that ten per cent of his prostate 'where the cancer is' is 'dead'.

He began treatment and underwent an operation in August, before being rushed back to hospital in dramatic scenes which marked the end of the series.

The final episode concluded with the presenter telling viewers: 'If this is all successful I'll see you for season six and if it isn't I won't. Take care everyone.'

Clarkson was talking about plans for the upcoming harvest with Kaleb and Charlie when the broadcaster dropped the bombshell news on them.

After establishing the farm's crops will be ready for harvest at the end of July, Clarkson exhales and says: 'F***.'

As Kaleb asks if he is 'going away', Clarkson leans back into his chair and, while struggling to keep his composure, tells the shell-shocked pair: 'Yep. 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.

While telling Kaleb and Charlie the news, Clarkson 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 – who is seen wiping his eyes during the conversation – throws his support behind him, saying: 'Look after yourself, you go and do… if you need anything you just ring me.'

Clarkson reveals that treatment includes an operation 'slap bang in the middle' of harvest time, and that as a result his body will be 'out of action for a little while', adding that he 'wasn't thrilled' at the prospect.

Charlie tells him: 'I just wish you a very, very speedy recovery.'

He then quickly turns back to harvest arrangements, telling the pair that his girlfriend, Lisa Hogan, will need to take on some of his duties.

The farm faced a desperate race to harvest its barley and wheat before his treatment, with matters complicated by Kaleb's wife being due to give birth to the couple's third child.

While carrying out the harvest, Clarkson hails early detection and intervention as the 'only reason there is any hope'.

'If I hadn't have got myself checked out and they hadn't caught the problem early this could well have been my last harvest. It's only because they did catch it early there's any hope. I'll be harvesting this farm for many, many years to come.'

In a later scene, the presenter says he was given just six days notice ahead of his operation, which took place at a hospital in London on August 4.

In scenes filmed the day before, Clarkson looks nervous as he and Lisa leave the farm. 'I'll see you on the flip side,' he tells Kaleb.

In what were originally the final scenes of the series, Clarkson tells Lisa, Kaleb, Charlie and Gerald: 'So we started the year and I had coronary heart disease and ended it with me with cancer.'

He continues: 'We can dwell as much as we like on all the bad things that have happened on the farm but I think it is better now…
