Jeremy Clarkson, the famous Clarkson’s Farm star, has revealed shocking details about his health after undergoing heart surgery.
The 64-year-old TV personality opened up about his medical emergency, which started while he was on vacation.
While swimming in the Indian Ocean, Jeremy began to feel tired and noticed he had trouble climbing stairs. But things got worse when he returned home.
After a sudden health decline, Jeremy was rushed to John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford by ambulance.
After a series of tests, including an ECG and X-rays, doctors discovered that one of his heart arteries was completely blocked, and another was about to become blocked.
He was taken straight into surgery where doctors inserted a stent to improve blood flow and prevent a heart attack.
He later shared his relief, admitting that the situation was more serious than he had realized. “Crikey, that was close,” he said.
Dog’s Life at Risk
Just when it seemed like Jeremy was getting better, he faced another crisis. His beloved dog was diagnosed with pyometra, a severe and dangerous infection of the uterus.
This condition can be life-threatening and often requires emergency surgery. Jeremy took to Instagram, sharing a photo of his dog, who was undergoing surgery.
“The poor thing is under the knife as we speak. She has pyometra. S**t week,” he posted.
Jeremy’s fans quickly showed their support, with many sharing messages of encouragement for both him and his dog. “I hope she recovers soon,” one fan wrote, while others reassured Jeremy that dogs often bounce back quickly from surgery.
Jeremy’s Health Journey
Reflecting on his heart surgery, Jeremy shared in his Sunday Times column that doctors found a complete blockage in one of the arteries supplying blood to his heart.
“It wasn’t especially painful. Just odd,” he said, describing the procedure. Despite the seriousness of the situation, he couldn’t help but make light of the experience.
“I wonder what water tastes like and if it’s possible to make celery interesting,” he joked, hinting at his lifestyle changes after the health scare.
He had already quit smoking after battling pneumonia during a holiday in Spain, making it clear that he was focused on improving his overall health.
