Jeremy Clarkson has been forced to defend himself over cruel remarks following his recent health scare . The Grand Tour host, 64, shared details of his emergency dash to hospital in his column for The Times, and revealed he began suffering worrying symptoms while on holiday on a small island in the Indian Ocean. Jeremy said he had complained of having “tightness in my chest” and “feeling clammy”, as well as pins and needles, and struggling to steady himself after getting up from the breakfast table.
His symptoms intensified upon his return to the UK, and he was rushed to John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford where he underwent a life-saving heart operation to have a stent fitted to open up a blocked artery. But after describing his health scare, he was targeted by cruel trolls who suggested it was his meat-heavy diet that contributed to his heart troubles. “Now he seems to have had a heart attack, and needed surgery.
What does he expect eating all that meat? He can't be surprised!” one tweeted, prompting Jeremy to quickly reply: “Better than dying of vegetable induced boredom.” His followers sent messages of support to the former Top Gear host, as one wrote: “Glad you’re ok..
.it’s so common at this age, but you’ll be grand. It can take a bit of time,” as another added: “Get well soon jezza, hope the surgery went well.
” Jeremy said he began to feel unwell after swimming in the sea, and confessed he felt “mostly dead” after returning to the beach. .
