The programme has become a huge hit with fans, as well as the cast, which includes farm manager Kaleb, 27, who has been on the show since it first aired in 2021.

Now, hours on from when Jeremy’s cancer diagnosis was first revealed, Kaleb has shared how his co-star is doing.

Kaleb said of Jeremy: “He is good. The spirits are high, which is good.”

He added to the Daily Mail: “If anything like this happens to any of your friends and you just said to my best mate, you’ve gotta be supported through that whole journey.

“And that’s where I’ve been, I’ve been right by his side and his spirits are really good, so thank you.”

He went on to explain just how important it is for people to check themselves and keep in tune with their bodies.

Kaleb added: “He’s strong-minded, he’s got a strong mind on him, which is good.

“And the message about catching anything early is quite important.

“That’s the main thing, but you’ve gotta keep checking, you know what I mean, it’s all these things, you know, people can sit there and say I’m busy, busy, busy.

“But actually sometimes you’ve gotta go I’m gonna just have to check and see if I’m OK.”

Jeremy, who is a columnist on The Sun, revealed all in the last two episodes of the show, which were filmed between Sept 2024 and Aug 2025.

During a conversation with Kaleb and business consultant Charlie Ireland, Jeremy tells them: “I’ve got cancer.”

“No, you haven’t. Where?” A shocked Kaleb asks him.

Jeremy adds: “Where it is is of no concern of anybody. I’ve known since May.

“I had a medical, you remember back in May. I disappeared off the other week and I had a biopsy and it is cancer and it’s aggressive, but it’s really early so the treatment will be, you know.

“I was praying we could get the harvest done and then I could go and get some treatment but it’s going to be slap bang in the middle.”

Kaleb wipes away tears and says: “Look after yourself, you go and do…if you need anything just ring.”

It comes after Jeremy’s girlfriend Lisa Hogan, who he has been dating since 2017, also shared an update on the star.

The model posted a snap of Jeremy sitting in their garden on her Instagram Story and captioned the post: “Back at the farm.”

Lisa then re-shared a post by Prostate Cancer UK about Jeremy’s diagnosis, writing over it: “Thank you for all the support today. @prostatecanceruk”.

The pair work together on Diddly Squat Farm and Lisa regularly appears in Clarkson’s Farm.
