Jeremy Clarkson's girlfriend Lisa Hogan has broken her silence after the star announced his prostate cancer diagnosis. The TV presenter was filmed sharing the news with those closest to him during the latest episode of his show Clarkson's Farm.
It transpired that he had undergone an operation to remove 10 per cent of his prostate last summer. Now, Lisa, 52, who has been in a relationship with Jeremy since 2017, has thanked fans for their support following the news.
She wrote: "Back at the farm," alongside a picture of Jeremy, 66, sitting in the sunshine, Mirror reports. She also reshared a post by Prostate Cancer UK about the Top Gear star's illness, which she wrote over the top: "Thank you for all the support today. @prostatecanceruk"
In the latest episode of Jeremy's hit Amazon show, which is currently in its fifth series, he discussed the harvest with farm manager Charlie Ireland and farm hand Kaleb Cooper. He suddenly revealed his health update and told the pair: "I've got cancer. I've known since May."
He went on: "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."
Speaking from a hospital bed at the end of the season finale, Clarkson revealed he had experienced complications during treatment. He said: "We started season five with me in a hospital bed and here we are at the end of season five and I'm back in a hospital bed. What I wanted to say was if this is all successful, I'll see you for season six, and if it isn't, I won't. Take care, everyone," he said as he signed off.
As the news broke, Prostate Cancer UK took to social media to thank the star for raising awareness and urged men to remember that early detection is important. The post read: "We want to thank @JeremyClarkson1 for sharing his prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment in #ClarksonsFarm, raising vital awareness with the millions of men and families watching. Thankfully he found the disease at an early stage, but sadly this is still not the experience of many men across the UK. Over 10,000 dads, brothers, sons and friends are diagnosed too late for a cure every year, and today the responsibility to know if you're at higher risk and to act on it rest entirely on men's shoulders. This must change. Any men worried by Jeremy's story should take our 30 second online Risk Checker or have a chat with their GP about a quick and simple blood test to check for any signs."
