Available to stream on Amazon prime now, the first episode of series five of the popular TV show has revealed more details of the former Top Gear presenter’s heart scare.

Towards the end of 2024, the 66-year-old revealed that he underwent emergency heart surgery at the hospital after suffering pains after experiencing a “sudden deterioration” in his health.

Still, a heart attack was ruled out after initial checks at John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, with doctors telling him he was “days away” from one.

Episode one shows the moment he reunited with farmhand Kaleb Cooper having been discharged from hospital, revealing doctors said no driving for a week and no manual labour for six weeks.

“I was scrolling on my phone, and if I hadn’t been doing that I wouldn’t have had pins and needles in my arm.

“And if I hadn’t got pins and needles I wouldn’t have thought ‘hang on, I’m having a heart problem’ and I wouldn’t have gone to hospital.

“Anyway they put me in this big polo mint and they found out I had really bad coronary artery problems.

“You’ve got three arteries that feed your heart with blood to keep it pumping. One of them [was] totally blocked. One of them looked like looked like something dangling from the roof of a cave in the Peak District.

“And one of them had got so clogged up it had formed like branches, so my heart wasn’t getting any blood.

“I said, ‘how close was I to a heart attack?’ and he went ‘days’.

“They put a camera up my arm, across my chest and into my arm, you can feel it, you can see my own heart on a TV screen.

“They thought they were going to have to do open heart surgery, then they went up and realised that actually they could mend it so they got the Dyno-rod out, shoved that in, and they had hammers, chisels, cameras.

“And then they put stents which are like pillow pads and stretch it out, so I should be as good as new.”

Mr Horner had been team principal at Red Bull since 2005, overseeing eight drivers’ world championships and six constructors’ titles.

But this all came to an end last year when his team let him go mid-season over performance-related issues with the team.

Mr Horner’s potential move back into Formula 1 has now reportedly been “vetoed” by Renault, following the latest twist in the ongoing Alpine stake sale saga.

A recent BBC report suggested that a proposed deal for Mercedes to acquire Otro Capital’s 24 per cent holding in Alpine has now collapsed, largely because of concerns over the valuation being sought.

According to those reports, Otro are said to be asking for around $720m for their stake, implying a total valuation of about $3b for Alpine.

Otro only bought the shareholding in 2023 for roughly $233m, while Mercedes is understood to view Alpine’s overall worth as closer to $2.3b.

The report read: “Renault is said to have decided not to continue with any further talks on the matter.

“The French brand has a power of veto over any sale of the Otro shares until September, and would have used that to block any sale to a group that had links with Horner.”

This comes amid the 52-year-old’s first new role since leaving Red Bull last year, as he has been engaged by Oakley Capital as an advisor on the firm’s investments in premium sports.

The London-based private equity firm said Mr Horner will work with its investment team to spot and realise deals in what is now one of the fiercest battlegrounds in Europe’s private markets.

Founder Peter Dubens said: “Christian Horner is widely recognised as a highly successful leader in global sport.

“His track record, expertise and commercial instinct will be invaluable as we continue to scale our sports portfolio.”
