Jeremy Clarkson is "very well" following his cancer diagnosis, according to former colleague Richard Hammond.
Mr Clarkson revealed earlier this year that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
He later announced he was in remission, with his treatment and recovery documented in his Amazon Prime series.

Mr Hammond, who was educated at Ripon Grammar School where he lived as a teenager, and who worked alongside Mr Clarkson and James May on the BBC’s Top Gear and Prime Video’s The Grand Tour for 22 years, shared an update on Times Radio.
Mr Hammond said: "I believe he's fine.
"It was some distance in the past, because obviously there's a time lag between when the show happened and when they're seen on the show.
"But no I believe he's very well, he's still irritating, all of those things.
"Generally speaking it means he's alive."
Earlier this summer, Mr Clarkson told The Times that he felt incredibly fortunate.
He said: "I am without a doubt, officially, the world's luckiest man.
"It was an aggressive type of cancer.
"It could have spread, it could have gone into the pancreas, it could have gone anywhere, and that would have been trouble."
