Jeremy Clarkson's girlfriend, Lisa Hogan, has shared an emotional message after the TV star's cancer diagnosis was revealed on his show Clarkson's Farm. The 66-year-old former Top Gear host disclosed that he underwent surgery to remove part of his prostate last summer.
Lisa Hogan's Message of Thanks
Lisa, 52, who has been in a relationship with Clarkson since 2017, took to social media to thank fans for their support. She posted a picture of Jeremy sitting in the sunshine with the caption: "Back at the farm." She also reshared a post from Prostate Cancer UK, adding: "Thank you for all the support today. @prostatecanceruk"
Clarkson's Health Revelation
In the latest episode of the Amazon series, now in its fifth season, Clarkson was discussing the harvest with farm manager Charlie Ireland and farmhand Kaleb Cooper when he suddenly revealed his health update. He told them: "I've got cancer. I've known since May. 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. "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," he said. "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."
Prostate Cancer UK Responds
Prostate Cancer UK thanked Clarkson for raising awareness and urged men to remember that early detection is important. The charity's 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."
