Jeremy Clarkson says he’s been diagnosed with an “aggressive” form of cancer

“Top Gear” host Jeremy Clarkson said he has an “aggressive” form of cancer while filming the final two episodes of “Clarkson’s Farm” Season 5 on Prime Video. In the exchange, Clarkson tells Charlie Ireland and Kaleb Cooper, “I’ve got cancer,” and later, “Where it is is of no concern of anybody.”
