Early testing can improve outcomes for people with prostate cancer. Jeremy Clarkson said follow-up checks carried out two months ago found no sign of the disease, putting him into remission after treatment for an aggressive form diagnosed in 2025. Speaking to the Times, the 66-year-old said part of his prostate had been removed and he now undergoes regular blood tests, adding that doctors caught the illness during a routine check in May 2025.
