Overview

• Jeremy Clarkson underwent a two-hour emergency angioplasty in October 2024 at John Radcliffe Hospital after being told he was 'days from death.'
• Doctors discovered two critical arteries were severely blocked, one entirely, and fitted Clarkson with two stents to restore blood flow.
• Clarkson first noticed warning signs during a failed dive in the Seychelles and later experienced symptoms like chest tightness and pins and needles in his arm.
• Post-surgery, Clarkson adopted a mono diet, reduced alcohol intake, and began playing pickleball to improve his health under medical guidance.
• He also transitioned to the medication Mounjaro to manage his appetite, replacing Ozempic, which he found unsuitable.
