Jeremy Clarkson Opens Up About Lifestyle Changes After Cancer Battle: ‘I Want to See My Grandchildren Grow Up’

JEREMY Clarkson has opened up about the changes he’s made to his lifestyle since battling cancer.

The Clarkson’s Farm star, 66, is currently in remission after facing a tough fight against an aggressive form of prostate cancer last year.

Speaking to The Sunday Times, the star spoke about switching up his diet and how important it is to him to be alive to see his grandchildren get older.

Jeremy said: “I really like seeing my grandchildren. I want to watch them grow up.

“I drive much more slowly. I’m a bit of a dawdler. I go for walks a lot. I have vegetarian food.”

Sun columnist Jezza shares three children – Emily, Finlo and Katya – with his ex-wife Frances Cain.

His eldest, Emily Clarkson, has two children with her husband Alex Andrew.

The former Top Gear presenter is incredibly close to his family and his grandchildren, Arlo, three and Xanthe, one, have been spotted visiting his Diddly Squat Farm.

Jeremy went public with his cancer diagnosis during the fifth series of Clarkson’s Farm.

Though he admitted that the only reason he shared the health update was because his treatment would result in him missing a lot of time filming.

Shortly after his cancer treatment, Jeremy resumed taking blood thinners to help with his heart problems.

But the move backfired and resulted in a terrifying dash to hospital.

At the end of the final episode of Clarkson’s Farm, Jeremy was seen laying in a hospital bed as a result of taking the medication.

He shared: “Two or three weeks after the cancer operation, I thought I’d better put myself back on those blood thinners.

“Big mistake, huge. It [resulted in] a very big emergency in the middle of the night.

“I’m not even going to go into the treatment that was required as a result of that, because it was horrible.

“I didn’t ask a doctor, I just thought, ‘I’m sure it will be all right to go back on blood thinners’.”

Jeremy, who had emergency surgery on his heart in 2024, now describes himself as the “luckiest man in the world” after two brushes with death in 12 months while urging men to get checked for prostate cancer.
