Several famous faces have rallied around Jeremy Clarkson after the former Top Gear star announced he was undergoing treatment for prostate cancer.
The 66-year-old television personality had forewarned his Clarkson's Farm audience via Instagram on Tuesday evening that the final instalments would prove challenging to watch.
"They're a difficult watch. They're really, really difficult," he stated in a video message posted to social media.
During the penultimate episode, Mr Clarkson broke the news to land agent Charlie Ireland and farm manager Kaleb Cooper whilst discussing harvest arrangements.

Mr Clarkson replied that the location was "of no concern to anybody" before explaining he had learned of his condition in May 2025, following a medical examination and subsequent biopsy.
He characterised the disease as aggressive but emphasised it had been detected at a very early stage.
The presenter later revealed that 10 per cent of his prostate had been destroyed using ultrasound treatment, targeting the cancerous tissue specifically.

The programme subsequently showed Mr Clarkson speaking from a hospital bed, revealing that his treatment had encountered difficulties.
"Some of the treatment has gone awry," he explained. "I'm going to be here for a little while. I don't know what's going to happen."
In a poignant reflection, he noted the irony of his circumstances: "We started season five with me in a hospital bed and we are at the end of season five and I'm back in a hospital bed."

The episode concluded with an emotional address directly to his audience.
"What I wanted to say was if this is all successful, I'll see you for season six, and if it isn't, I won't. Take care, everyone," he said.
After the scenes aired, fans and fellow famous faces rushed to the aforementioned Instagram post to show their support.
BBC Gladiators star Giant, AKA Jamie Bigg, was among them, and he penned: "Seeing the news of prostate cancer diagnosis, something very close to my heart, sending you love and strength Jezza."

While businesswoman and founder of Daylesford Organic, Carole Bamford, shared: "You're so brave. I'm so sorry."

Following the release of the episodes, charity Prostate Cancer UK thanked Mr Clarkson for sharing his diagnosis and treatment, saying it would raise “vital awareness”.
Chiara De Biase, the charity’s fundraising and health strategy director, said: “Thankfully, he found the disease at an early stage, but sadly this is still not the experience of many men across the UK.
“Over 10,000 dads, brothers, sons, and friends are diagnosed too late for a cure every year, and today the responsibility to know if you’re at higher risk and to act on it rest entirely on men’s shoulders. This must change.
“The Government took an important step forward recently in doubling its support for Prostate Cancer UK’s Transform screening trial, allowing us to reach tens of thousands more black men and generate the vital evidence to ensure those at highest risk are diagnosed earlier.
We want to thank @JeremyClarkson for sharing his #ProstateCancer diagnosis and treatment in @ClarksonsFarm1, raising vital awareness with the millions of men and families watching 💙

“In years to come, the trial will find the safest and most effective way to screen all men for prostate cancer, but right now prostate cancer remains the most common cancer without a screening programme.
