*Top Gear* star Jeremy Clarkson has revealed an "aggressive" cancer diagnosis in the emotional season 5 finale of his Prime Video docuseries *Clarkson's Farm*.

In episode 7 of the series' fifth season, Clarkson, 66, reveals in a candid conversation with his farm associates Charlie Ireland and Kaleb Cooper that he's "got cancer."

The stunned men look on as Clarkson continues after a brief pause, telling them that "where is of no concern of anybody," but that he's known for a short period of time.

"I had a medical [check], remember, back in May? I disappeared off the other week and had it biopsied and it's cancer. It's aggressive, but, it's really early, so the treatment will be, you know," he said, trailing off as Cooper became visibly emotional.

Clarkson reassured them, "Listen, I'm not daft, so it's going to be in about two weeks, maybe three, I'll have to go and have an operation," before the series continued with other scenes chronicling their work on the land.

Then, in the following episode (the final installment of season 5), Clarkson is shown in the hospital after an unexpected complication arose.

"Some of the treatment has gone a bit awry, let's say, so I'm going to be here for a little while," Clarkson said from a hospital bed.

The final moment of the season saw Clarkson tell his audience, "If this is all successful, I'll see you all for season 6. And, if it isn't, I won't. Take care, everyone."

*Top Gear* producer Clare Pizey wrote a tribute to Schmitz at the time. "Sabine was a beloved member of the *Top Gear* family and presenting team since 2016, having first appeared on the show in 2004, and everyone who had the pleasure of working with her on the team is in shock at this news," she said. "The 'Queen of the Nürburgring,' Sabine radiated positivity, always wore her cheeky smile no matter how hard things got and was a force of nature for female drivers in the motoring world."
