<p> Later in the show, father-of-three Clarkson spoke about how the year had been particularly difficult while talking to Kaleb, his girlfriend Lisa, and two other employees. “We started the year and I had coronary heart disease and ended it with me with cancer,” he explained, referencing earlier health challenges he had faced. Despite the serious nature of his health struggles, he attempted to maintain a positive perspective.He continued: “We can dwell as much as we like on all the bad things that have happened on the farm, but I think it’s better now, at the end of the year, to focus on things that have happened that are good.” </p>
<p><h2> Jeremy Clarkson’s treatment and hospital stay</h2>
</p>
<p> Clarkson revealed to Kaleb that he had “10 per cent” of his prostate removed via ultrasound. “The prostate, 10 per cent of it’s dead. The 10 per cent where the cancer is,” he said.
