Jeremy Clarkson opened up on his ‘annoying’ cancer battle at the NTAs, after winning big with his Clarkson’s Farm co-stars.

Jeremy Clarkson made a comment about his recent cancer battle after winning big at the National Television Awards this evening, beating out stiff competition from Stacey Solomon and Tyson Fury.

The former Grand Tour host, 66, has delighted fans with his Clarkson’s Farm series in recent years, with the Amazon Prime Video show taking home the first ever Reality Docuseries at the NTAs.

The hit show was up against At Home With The Furys, Fletchers’ Family Farm, Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing and Stacey & Joe for the first ever award of its kind.

Appearing in the press room following the latest addition to his trophy cabinet, he shared an update on his health after breaking the news of his prostate cancer diagnosis in the most recent season.

“I had a heart thing and a bit of cancer but we live in a time when doctors can fix things very easily,” he said. “It was annoying rather than emotional – I missed a lot of the harvest, which I love.”

Speaking onstage during the ceremony he also took the opportunity to celebrate his co-stars, telling the star-studded: “Crikey! Some lovely programmes in that category.

“I don’t want to drone on forever but I just want to say on behalf of everyone who makes this show, thank you.”

Jeremy stunned fans – and his Clarkson’s Farm castmates – when he spoke candidly about his health in the most recent series, and was seen telling Kaleb Cooper that the disease was “aggressive” but had been discovered early.

He also revealed that he had undergone an operation to remove part of his prostate. In an update after the episode aired, he shared that he is now in remission.

Jeremy’s appearance at the NTAs comes after Kaleb gave the Mirror an update after 11 sheep were stolen from Clarkson’s Farm last week.

The Clarkson’s Farm breakout star told us on the red carpet: “We had 11 sheep stolen. It’s in the police’s hands now, so we’re just waiting to hear back from their investigation.

“But it’s going to be incredibly hard to track down because, of course, it’s been so dry this year, so we can’t find tracks, you know? They’re checking all the cameras in the local area at the moment to see if they can track it back.”

The Clarkson’s Farm star said that while sheep theft was not something he heard about particularly often, its impact on farmers could be devastating.

He added: “I wouldn’t say it happens a lot. I think it happens, but you don’t hear of it very often. But it’s very serious. You’ve actually taken someone’s livelihood away.

“[They rely on] that money to keep the farm going, keep people paid and jobs, and so on. So I think it’s very serious. We had 11. I’ve heard of some cases where it’s been about 50.”

The U.S. Secret Service dealt with several drone-related incidents without adjusting its protection policies or documenting why it didn’t, according to a government report released Thursday. That information may have helped illustrate the emerging threat of civilian drone use before one was used in the 2024 assassination attempt on then-candidate Donald Trump in Butler, Pa.

The report from the Government Accountability Office found delays and holes in how the Secret Service updates its policies regarding threats, and arrives after a few turbulent years for the agency charged with the president’s protection.

The would-be assassin in Butler positioned himself on a roof left unsecured, nicking the president’s ear with a bullet. Months later, a man with a rifle got surprisingly close to Trump at his West Palm Beach, Fla., golf course. And in April, an armed man got beyond security barriers at the White House Correspondents’ Assn. dinner, where the president sat.

The report found that between 2015 and 2025 the Secret Service dealt with 83 security incidents and that it updated its protection policies in response to 25 of them. Among the incidents was a drone that made contact with President Obama’s motorcade in 2015 and another flown about 200 feet over a rally for then-presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.

Failing to document why the Secret Service decided not to change its policy is the concern, said Nathan Tranquilli, acting director of the Government Accountability Office, adding that the drone incidents were a “compelling example” of that.

“Some of the missing information has been relevant to subsequent attacks,” the report read. It cited the Butler incident, where the culprit flew a drone for 11 minutes over the crowd, which helped him position himself to get a clear shot at Trump.

The Secret Service also failed to update eight of 22 protection policies within a required time frame of four years. A memorandum of understanding between the Secret Service and the Diplomatic Security Service, which designates each agency’s responsibilities for the president’s overseas security, hasn’t been updated since 1991, even though an annual review and update are required. As a consequence, the memorandum doesn’t address newer threats, such as drones.

“When you look at the Secret Service and you look at their mission, really it’s a zero-fail mission, and they’ve got a ton of challenges,” Tranquilli said. “When decisions were being made about where to put time and energy, some of these things fell to the side, and, as a result, there were some delays.”

The report recommended three fixes, including that the Secret Service revise its policy to require that, when a security incident doesn’t warrant a policy update, that the rationale is documented.

A spokesperson for the Secret Service did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but the report stated that the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the Secret Service, agreed with all recommendations and plans to implement changes.
