"No, you haven't. Where?," Cooper responded, to which Clarkson said "Where it is is of no concern of anybody. I've known since May."
Clarkson then explained that when he had unexpectedly disappeared for a period of time, he had been undergoing medical tests.
He revealed that doctors had performed a biopsy and confirmed he had an "aggressive" form of cancer.
Despite the seriousness of the diagnosis, Clarkson stressed that it had been caught early.

Ireland also shared his well wishes, telling him, "I wish you a very speedy recovery."

"Some of the treatment's gone a bit awry, let's say, so I'm going to be here for a little while. I'm nil by mouth, I don't know what's going to happen."
"But if this is all successful, I'll see you for season six, and if it isn't, I wont. Take care everyone."
Ahead of the release of the final episodes, Clarkson warned viewers that the show would take a more serious turn than usual.
"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," he said on Instagram.
Clarkson's health struggles were a recurring theme throughout the season. Which began with him discussing a heart procedure he underwent in October 2024.
