Jeremy Clarkson can 'barely move' as ex-Top Gear host faces fresh health battle

Jeremy Clarkson was left “barely moveable” after he started to suffer with a fresh health concern.

The 64-year-old Clarkson’s Farm star recently revealed he underwent a “life-saving heart procedure”. Doctors said the television presenter had an “alarmingly high level” of cholesterol.

It forced Clarkson to overhaul his lifestyle, admitting he was forced to cut out “everything I like eating” and adopt a new regime. In his column in The Sun, he says he must live in a “Liberal ­Democrat, holier-than-thou fog of weeds, seeds and yoga”.

Clarkson has now revealed he has suffered another health setback. Speaking to The Telegraph, he explained he fears he has a “slipped disc”.

Despite suffering a suspected back injury, Clarkson says he is hopeful of joining farmers as they protest against Sir Keir Starmer’s government. Around 20,000 farmers are expected to protest Labour’s tax hikes on Tuesday.

And while he may be suffering from an injury and struggling to move, Clarkson hopes he will “get there somehow”. The former Top Gear presenter however doesn’t plan to address the rally.

The farmers will be hoping to persuade the Government to rethink its inheritance tax plans, which will see estates worth more than £1 million incur a 20 percent charge from April. Farmers fear how this will impact passing down their businesses to the next generation.

Over the weekend protesters gathered in Llandudno where Starmer was addressing the Welsh Labour conference. The Prime Minister said he would defend the Budget "all day long", saying it took "tough decisions that were necessary to stabilise our economy".

He said: "I will defend facing up to the harsh light of fiscal reality, defend tough decisions that were necessary to stabilise our economy, and I will defend protecting the payslips of working people, fixing the foundations of our economy, and investing in the future of Britain and the future of Wales, finally turning the page on austerity – once and for all."

Clarkson has become a champion of farming after opening Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotwolds in 2020. His journey from buying the plot to establishing it as a working business has been documented on Amazon Prime’s Clarkson’s Farm.
