Jeremy Clarkson’s partner Lisa Hogan has thanked fans for their support after it was revealed the former Top Gear presenter has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer.
Jeremy’s diagnosis was shared on the final episodes of his Amazon Prime show, Clarkson’s Farm, which aired on Tuesday. He concluded the series with a heartbreaking reality, telling viewers: “What I wanted to say was: if this is all successful,” referring to his treatment, “I’ll see you for season six. And if it isn’t, I won’t. Take care, everyone.”
On Wednesday, Lisa Hogan, who has been in a relationship with Jeremy since 2017, broke her silence on the news.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Lisa posted an image of the British TV star sitting outdoors at Diddly Squat Farm with a camera. Alongside the image, she penned: “Back at the farm.”
She later shared a post from Prostate Cancer UK which referenced Jeremy’s diagnosis. Lisa added the words: “Thank you for all the support today. @prostatecanceruk”.
Flooded with support
Since the news broke, Jeremy has been flooded with support from friends and fans. One person who has spoken out about the diagnosis is Clarkson’s Farm fan favourite, Kaleb Cooper, who shared an update on Jeremy as filming for the programme continues.
He told the Daily Mail: “He is good. The spirits are high, which is good. If anything like this happens to any of your friends and you just said to my best mate, you’ve gotta be supported through that whole journey.
“And that’s where I’ve been, I’ve been right by his side, and his spirits are really good, so thank you.”
He continued: “‘He’s strong-minded, he’s got a strong mind on him, which is good. And the message about catching anything early is quite important.
“That’s the main thing, but you’ve gotta keep checking, you know what I mean, it’s all these things, you know, people can sit there and say I’m busy, busy, busy. But actually, sometimes you’ve gotta go. I’m gonna just have to check and see if I’m OK.”
The emotional moment Jeremy told Kaleb he has cancer was documented on the programme during which the dad-of-three heartbreakingly said: “I’ve got cancer.”
