Former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson has assured fans he is 'fine' after undergoing heart surgery to clear a blocked artery, and joked he won't be doing any manual labour for four years
Jeremy Clarkson has reassured fans that he's "fine" after a recent heart surgery scare. The former Top Gear host, 64, revealed over the weekend that he had experienced worrying symptoms while on holiday, leading to an emergency hospital visit in the UK where he underwent a procedure to unblock his arteries.
The Clarkson's Farm star described how he felt "weak" during his vacation, struggling to swim or climb stairs, saying: "It wasn’t far, maybe the length of two swimming pools. But when I finally reached the beach, there was more water in my lungs than there is in Lake Superior, and I was mostly dead ... I’m not exaggerating. These problems all manifested themselves in one day.
Jeremy added: “It wasn’t especially painful. Just odd,” and added that he has been thinking: “Crikey, that was close.”
