Jeremy Clarkson shares candid health update following lifestyle overhaul after revealing he was 'days away from death' before heart surgery


The presenter, 64, revealed he was 'days away from death' before his live-saving heart operation last year, but has since returned to work and has drastically changed his lifestyle.

He then went to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford via an ambulance, where a heart attack was ruled out after he had an electrocardiogram (ECG), blood tests and X-rays. This involves making a small incision in a patient's arm or leg, through which a wire with an attached deflated balloon is thread through up to the coronary arteries Describing what he called the 'wearisome effects of growing old', Clarkson said: 'It seems that of the arteries feeding my heart with nourishing blood, one was completely blocked and the second of three was heading that way.'
