It's not the first health scare for the ex-Top Gear star, who last year said doctors had warned about a 'worrying rise in my blood pressure'.
Jeremy Clarkson has revealed he underwent a heart procedure after a 'sudden deterioration' in his health. The 64-year-old said a swim on holiday appeared to cause him difficulties using stairs, with symptoms worsening when he returned to the UK. Clarkson told The Sunday Times he felt 'clammy', a 'tightness in my chest' and 'pins and needles in my left arm'.
A stent - a tiny device to keep an artery open - was fitted in about two hours. Clarkson said the episode left him thinking 'crikey, that was close'. He suggested he's looking to move to a healthier diet and is 'wondering what water tastes like and if it's possible to make celery interesting'.
