Jeremy Clarkson’s partner, Lisa Hogan, has opened up publicly after the television presenter revealed his prostate cancer diagnosis in the latest series of his show, Clarkson’s Farm.
The 66-year-old broadcaster disclosed to viewers that he underwent surgery last summer to remove 10% of his prostate after being diagnosed with aggressive but early-stage cancer. Since 2017, Lisa, 52, has stood by Jeremy’s side and recently expressed heartfelt thanks to those offering support.
On social media, Lisa posted a serene photo of Jeremy enjoying time outdoors at the farm, captioned: “Back at the farm.” Alongside it, she shared informative material from Prostate Cancer UK about his condition, adding: “Thank you for all the support today. @prostatecanceruk.”

In the show’s latest episode, Jeremy surprised audiences by discussing his cancer diagnosis with farm colleagues Charlie Ireland and Kaleb Cooper. He explained that he found out following a medical exam in May and subsequent biopsy, stating: “I’ve got cancer. I’ve known since May… it is cancer and it’s aggressive, but it’s really early so the treatment will be, you know.”
During the season five finale, Clarkson addressed viewers from his hospital bed, acknowledging the challenges he has faced. He reflected: “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. 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.”
Following the announcement, Prostate Cancer UK publicly thanked Jeremy for raising awareness of the disease. The charity emphasized the importance of early detection, noting that while Jeremy’s early diagnosis is encouraging, many men in the UK still learn of their cancer too late.
Their statement highlighted: “Over 10,000 dads, brothers, sons and friends are diagnosed too late for a cure every year. The responsibility to know if you’re at higher risk and to act on it rests entirely on men’s shoulders. This must change.”
They concluded by urging any men worried by Jeremy’s story to use their 30-second online Risk Checker or speak to a GP about a simple blood test to check for early signs of prostate cancer.
