Jeremy Clarkson has announced he is in remission from an aggressive form of prostate cancer, calling himself the "luckiest man in the world" after beating the disease.

The most observant of you may have noticed I am not dead.

โ€” Jeremy ClarksonClarkson joked to followers in an Instagram video after announcing his remission from cancer.

The 66-year-old TV presenter revealed his diagnosis earlier this year on his show "Clarkson's Farm," admitting that while the cancer was aggressive, it was caught early. He shared the update via an Instagram video, joking to his followers, "The most observant of you may have noticed I am not dead." He added that he feels completely healthy and is grateful to doctors for detecting the dangerous illness in time.

Clarkson told The Times that a follow-up test two months ago showed no signs of cancer, meaning he has been in remission for that period. "I've cheated death twice. I am, without a doubt, officially the luckiest man in the world," he said. This is not the first serious health scare for the British star in recent years. In 2024, he underwent emergency heart surgery for a blocked artery, stating at the time that he was only days away from a potentially fatal heart attack.

I've cheated death twice. I am, without a doubt, officially the luckiest man in the world.

During the finale of the fifth season of "Clarkson's Farm," he confessed to colleagues that a biopsy confirmed aggressive prostate cancer but that it was diagnosed early. In the final episode, he addressed viewers, saying, "Some of the treatment stages have not been very kind to me. I've been forbidden to eat or drink anything, and I don't know what's going to happen next. I just wanted to say, if everything is alright, I'll see you in season six, and if not, then I won't. Look after yourselves." He later returned to work on the new season after his treatment.
