Jeremy Clarkson has been taken to the hospital for a heart procedure due to concerns that he was close to death.

Well-known television personality Jeremy Clarkson recently opened up about a scary health experience he went through. The former Top Gear presenter, now known for his show Clarkson's Farm on Prime Video, wrote in his column for The Sunday Times that he had to undergo a heart procedure due to a sudden decline in his health.

Clarkson, who is 64 years old, shared that he had to be rushed to the hospital in an ambulance after experiencing concerning symptoms. It all started with a swim while he was on vacation in the Indian Ocean. When he returned home, he noticed that he was having trouble using the stairs and his health seemed to be deteriorating rapidly.

He described feeling "clammy" and having a tightness in his chest, along with pins and needles in his left arm. After hearing about former Scottish first minister Alex Salmond's fatal heart attack, Clarkson decided to take action and seek medical help. He was taken to John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, where doctors ruled out a heart attack after conducting various tests.

However, after further checks, it was discovered that one of the arteries supplying blood to his heart was completely blocked and another one was on its way to being blocked. In a matter of two hours, doctors were able to fit a stent, which can prevent future heart attacks by improving blood flow to the heart.

Despite the seriousness of the situation, Clarkson noted that the procedure wasn't particularly painful, just "odd." He also admitted that the experience made him think about his lifestyle choices, wondering about the taste of water and if it's possible to make celery interesting. He even hinted at possibly cutting down on his meat consumption.

This isn't the first time Clarkson has faced health issues. He previously had to give up smoking after contracting pneumonia while on vacation in Spain. However, he continues to stay busy with his various projects, including Clarkson's Farm and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? on ITV.

In fact, Clarkson recently opened a pub called The Farmer's Dog near his home in Chipping Norton. The pub, located in Asthall near Burford, has been a hit with locals. Meanwhile, fans of Clarkson can catch up with him on social media, where he keeps them updated with his latest ventures and projects.
