Jeremy Clarkson ‘ignored’ doctor’s advice amid health scare

Lisa Hogan, the partner of the former Top Gear host, commented that he did not follow medical advice after an emergency that saw him taken to hospital.

Towards the end of 2024, the 66-year-old revealed that he underwent emergency heart surgery at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford after suffering pains.

It would result in him having a stent fitted, says The Mirror, with the medical episode covered in the upcoming fifth series of hit Amazon Prime show Clarkson’s Farm.

Commenting on it to the national title, Ms Hogan said that her partner did not take the advice to rest and recuperate.

She said: “Jeremy was advised to rest for a couple of weeks, and that lasted about a day and a half.”

In the trailer for the new Clarkson’s Farm series, Mr Clarkson is seen in hospital after which he explains his condition to Kaleb Cooper.

He said: “You’ve got three arteries that feed your heart to keep it pumping. My heart wasn’t getting any blood.”

A woman then tells him: “To be fair, my mother dropped dead of a heart attack at 67.”

“Cheery news,” replied Mr Clarkson.

Initially debuting back in 2021, the 66-year-old’s farming documentary has found global success.

Set at his own Diddly Squat Farm in Oxfordshire, the series also covers his Cotswolds pub, The Farmer’s Dog, which opened in Asthall back in 2024.

An official date for the new season was confirmed earlier this month by Prime Video, with the first episodes set to be released on Wednesday, June 3.

Appearing recently on the Heart Radio Breakfast show, Mr Clarkson spoke to his Cotswolds celebrity neighbour Amanda Holden about the new episodes.

“It’s the most dramatic of the shows we have done so far, and it gets more and more and more dramatic towards the end,” said the 66-year-old.

“Yeah, I’ll say no more than that because we’re not actually doing any PR for this series at all.”

The new season will follow its predecessors in that it comes with a staggered release, as episodes are set to roll out weekly until June 17.
