Lisa Hogan, the partner of Jeremy Clarkson, has expressed her gratitude for the outpouring of support following his revelation that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
The former Top Gear host, aged 66, shared the news in the latest episodes of the fifth season of his series Clarkson's Farm, describing the disease as “aggressive” but detected early.
The television presenter also disclosed that he underwent surgery to remove part of his prostate. The series concluded with him mentioning complications during treatment.
Irish actress Lisa Hogan, who has been in a relationship with Clarkson since 2017, shared a photo on her Instagram story showing the presenter sitting on a garden chair while using a camera.
Over the image, she wrote “back at the farm,” marking her return home after attending the second day of races at Royal Ascot in Berkshire.
Hogan also posted a screenshot of a message from charity Prostate Cancer UK, thanking Clarkson for sharing his diagnosis and treatment on the Prime Video programme, noting it would raise “vital awareness.”
The Dublin-born actress added: “Thank you for all the support today.”
Clarkson has received an overwhelming number of well-wishes after viewers saw him reveal his diagnosis to farm manager Kaleb Cooper and land agent Charlie Ireland in a recent episode of his reality TV show.
Public Figures Offer Support
Former Conservative Prime Minister Rishi Sunak wrote on X: “Very sorry to hear this. Wishing @JeremyClarkson a full and speedy recovery. Prostate cancer affects far too many men and early diagnosis can make all the difference.”
Television presenter Piers Morgan also sent his best wishes, despite a reported past altercation with Clarkson at the 2004 British Press Awards. He wrote: “I wish my old sparring partner all the best with his treatment. Guys, have a PSA test, it may save your life.”
Clarkson's Announcement
In an Instagram post before the episodes were released, Clarkson told followers he had “some sombre news.”
He said: “Sombre news – Clarkson's Farm, ordinarily we try to keep the show bucolic and charming, and cheerful, but two episodes which drop in the middle of the night tonight are, they're none of those things, really. They're a difficult watch, they're really, really difficult.”
Gerald Cooper, a farmhand on the show, had previously revealed in an earlier series that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and later declared cancer-free in 2024.
In the final episode of the fifth series, Clarkson referenced Cooper's past diagnosis, saying they could “now share medical war stories.” As the pair caught up on the farm, Clarkson said he had undergone the operation and remarked: “Fingers crossed it's worked. I tell you what though. Catheter. Honestly no, that was the worst.”
Health History
The diagnosis comes nearly two years after Clarkson underwent a heart procedure, receiving two stents to improve blood flow to his heart. He said his doctor advised him to stop working and take up golf instead, as he wrote in a column for The Sun at the time.
The television presenter also quit smoking after contracting pneumonia while on holiday in Spain.
Clarkson's Farm follows the long-time TV personality and his crew as they tackle the challenges of running Diddly Squat Farm near Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire.
Since deciding to run his farm in 2019 and subsequently launching his popular reality series, Clarkson has become a vocal advocate for farmers. He attended a protest in London in November 2024 against the government's plan to introduce inheritance tax on farmland.
The sixth series of the show is scheduled to air in 2027.
