Jeremy Clarkson in bombshell health update after heart surgery | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV

Clarkson’s Farm star Jeremy Clarkson has spoken about his experience with Mounjaro to aid him in his weight loss after he faced a serious health scare relating to his heart in 2024. Six months into taking the jab, Clarkson has lost 3st and has updated his wardrobe after a complete transformation. His decision follows a vow he made to get healthy at 64 following tightness in his chest which prompted him to go to hospital to get checked out. 

The TV star was rushed in for an operation to clear blocked arteries and as a result knew he needed to start eating healthily, but in a bombshell update admitted he received help from the jab. He said: “I’ve plateaued now. I’m still on it, but not losing any more weight – but nor am I putting any on, because it keeps my appetite level down. It really is an astonishing drug.”

He told The Sun: “I can go much further, I can take the dogs out for longer now, so it keeps [Lisa] happy. I’m much healthier.” Discussing the side effects, the Clarkson’s Farm star doesn’t have the most common ones of constipation and diminished libido, but his long-time girlfriend Lisa Hogan has recognised his mood has decreased.

Clarkson explained that he’s a “bit duller” and “not quite as sharp”, but he’s happy with how his health journey has progressed. The farmer also hinted that the health scare will be addressed on the new series of Clarkson’s Farm , adding: “It’s been shocking these last 12 months, on every front. Anyone who thinks season five of Clarkson’s Farm is a barrel of laughs is in for serious disappointment.”

Clarkson has been open about his health in recent years, but it was his heart operation that really kicked things into gear after initial thoughts that he had suffered a heart attack, which was later ruled out after an ECG, blood tests and X-rays.

He previously said to The Sunday Times: “It seems that of the arteries feeding my heart with nourishing blood, one was completely blocked and the second of three was heading that way.”

Doctors had fitted a stent to help keep his artery open. Clarkson had suffered an additional health scare in 2017 after being diagnosed with pneumonia, which resulted in him giving up smoking, having previously smoked 40-a-day for 43 years.
