Jeremy Clarkson gives fans a major health update after revealing he was ‘days away from death’ before undergoing live-saving heart surgery

Jeremy Clarkson gave fans a major health update after revealing last month that he was ‘days away from death’ before his life-saving heart surgery.

The presenter, 64, has revealed he is ‘better than ever’ as he was spotted returning to work just weeks after major health problems.

The former Top Gear presenter was spotted in his pub with his right-hand man from Clarkson’s Farm, Kaleb Cooper, in exclusive photos from The sun.

The media personality was seen using a machine to move logs while he was helped by Kaleb who dug a hole for a bonfire.

Jeremy was filming the new series of his hit show Clarkson’s Farm and was later harassed when he entered his in the car park of The Farmer’s Dog pub near his Diddly Squat farm.

The star told fans he was doing well after they asked for a health update and an attendee told the publication: ‘It was great to see him looking so closely at what happened. I was in the pub with my girlfriend and then we went to the car park and saw him.

‘He seemed very cheerful. We asked how he felt after the heart procedure and he said, “I feel good, better than ever.” I shook his hand and wished him well. And Jeremy said: ‘I’d love to stop for a chat, but I’ve got a busy day with a lot to do.’

Jeremy’s outing comes after he revealed last month that he was ‘days away from death’ before recently undergoing emergency heart surgery.

The presenter had to undergo the procedure after a ‘sudden deterioration’ in his health, with the star admitting: ‘Crikey, that was close.’

He started feeling unwell after swimming on a ‘small island’ in the Indian Ocean while on holiday and later found it difficult to walk up some stairs.

Jeremy returned to Britain and a ‘sudden deterioration began to accelerate’, with him feeling ‘clammy’, a ‘tightness in the chest’ and ‘pins and needles in my left arm’.

After sharing the news in his Sunday Times column on Sunday, he shared another update on his health.

He told The Sun: ‘I’m very grateful to everyone who has sent supportive messages but I’m doing well.

The star told fans he was doing well after they asked for a health update and one visitor said: ‘It was great to see him looking so good after what happened. I was in the pub with my girlfriend and we went to the car park and saw him.’

‘For the next four years, I won’t have to do any manual labor or empty the dishwasher anymore. At least I think that’s what the doctor said.’

The recent tragic death of Alex Salmond from a massive heart attack had prompted the motoring journalist to visit his GP.

Clarkson wrote in his column in The Sunday Times how he felt “mostly dead” after returning to the beach after a short swim.

He spent the rest of his break on a tropical island, eating cheese and drinking wine.

It was only when he returned to Britain and loaded thirty pigs onto a ‘slaughterhouse school bus’ that he noticed pins and needles in his left arm.

He then went via ambulance to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, where a heart attack was ruled out after undergoing an electrocardiogram (ECG), blood tests and X-rays.

He said that after further checks, he went to an “operating room” on Wednesday. Doctors said he may have been ‘days away’ from death.

Once there, he was fitted with a stent to keep his arteries open, improve blood flow to his heart and relieve his chest pain.

A stent is a wire mesh tube that supports open arteries. To open the narrowed artery, the surgeon can perform a so-called angioplasty.

This involves making a small incision in a patient’s arm or leg, through which a wire with a deflated balloon attached to it is guided to the coronary arteries.

Clarkson described what he called the “exhausting effects of growing old”: “It seems that of the arteries which supplied my heart with nourishing blood, one was completely blocked and the second of the three went that way.”

He said a stent was placed in about two hours, which could save lives and stop future heart attacks by improving blood flow to the heart.

The motoring journalist said: ‘It wasn’t particularly painful. Just strange,” adding that he thought: “Crikey, that was close.”
