His quote read: “This is why I have to say to everybody who’s reading this, please, please, please go and get checked.
“It’s not uncomfortable, it’s not undignified. And it’s a no-brainer. I did, and that’s why I’m sitting here talking to you.”

A number of people then shared their experiences with the disease in the comments.
“I lost my dad 7 weeks ago to prostate cancer. I’m so pleased @jeremyclarkson1 is spreading awareness to get checked. I will wish forever that my dad did,” wrote one person.
Another added: “Absolutely sooo important to get checked… My dad got checked a few years ago because all his friends were, he thought meh may as well do the test! He had no symptoms but turned out he did have prostate cancer. Catching it early can be life saving, he’s now fine after treatment, but so SO important to get checked!!!”
