CLARKSON’S Farm has issued a positive update following Gerald Cooper’s cancer battle.
Fans of the Prime Video series were left saddened when it was revealed that the farmer and co-star of Jeremy Clarkson had been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
It forced Gerald to take a back seat from filming as he was absent for most of the episodes as he underwent treatment for the disease.
By the end of the latest series, it was revealed that Gerald had managed to overcome the illness after undergoing radiotherapy.
In a brand new update, it has been revealed that Gerald has been working hard to raise much needed funds and awareness for the disease following his recovery.
Working with Prostate UK, the 74-year-old has helped to raise a massive £28,500 for the charity thanks to his racehorse syndicate.
A post shared by the TV show’s official social media accounts revealed the huge achievement.
Sharing the news online, the message read: “Fantastic news! Gerald’s charity syndicate has raised an impressive £28,500 for @ProstateUK.
“A very happy Gerald pictured below with his lovely wife, shortly after receiving the news.
“A heartwarming moment for all!”
Fans were quick to share their praise toward Gerald and his efforts as one wrote: “Good stuff. He is swiftly turning into a national treasure.”
Another then added: “Well done Gerald and the syndicate.”

Before a fourth chimed in to say: “Congratulations on the fantastic donation results!”
Gerald raced the funds by teaming up with Old Gold Racing to launch a racehorse syndicate.
The racehorse is called “The Mullet” – just like the star’s famous hair do – and received training by Charlie Longsdon in the Cotswolds.
