Jeremy Clarkson is opening up about his health.
The 66-year-old Top Gear former host spoke out in a new video on social media over the weekend.
During the final episodes of Clarkson’s Farm Season 5, he revealed he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in May of last year.
“Now, the more observant among you will have noticed that I’m not dead,” he began in the video.
Hello, everyone. Uh, now the more observant among you will have noticed that I’m not dead. And I’m not just not dead, I’m perfectly fine. My eyebrows in particular are looking very lustrous. And the reason why I’m fine is because the doctors caught the prostate cancer early, and they caught it early because I got tested. Now, I know a lot of you will say, “Well, I don’t wanna be tested ’cause it means someone will have to put their finger in me.” But it’s just a blood test these days, and if you go to your doctor and he says, “Well, I’m not gonna test you because you don’t have any symptoms and you’re not in a high risk category”, just lie. Just lie. Say you have got symptoms. Say that you have to get up 32 times in the night for a wee, and that there’s some dribbling. Um, because look, 10, 12,000 people, men to be honest, men die every year in the UK from prostate cancer. Don’t be one of them. Get tested.
If you don’t know, Jeremy got in a bit of hot water a few years back and ended up apologizing to a celebrity couple.
