Jeremy Clarkson admits he could ‘barely move’ as he reveals fresh health battle
JEREMY Clarkson has admitted he was barely able to move following his recent health struggles.
The Clarkson’s Farm star has been open about his health setbacks in recent weeks and has now disclosed a further issue which left him “barely moveable”.
Speaking to The Telegraph, the former Top Gear host confessed his worries that he may have suffered a “slipped disc”.
He revealed his suspected back injury to the publication ahead of his plans to join thousands of farmers leading a protest outside Parliament.
However, he was adamant that it would not stop him as he defiantly said he will “get there somehow” despite his recent health woes.
His determination has paid off with Jeremy heading to the protest later today.
The star is currently recovering from a life-saving heart operation but will now defy doctor’s orders to attend a rally in protest of the hated “tractor tax”.
He told The Sun: “I will be there, despite having letters from doctors telling me not to go on the march and saying I must avoid stress.”
With him will be show co-star Kaleb Cooper.
Angry Jeremy will leave Diddly Squat Farm to lead a squad of country workers into battle tomorrow against the government.
They will join thousands protesting over inheritance tax plans that they fear could see many family farms having to be sold off.
His appearance at the protest is poignant given that Jezza is currently in recovery mode following his recent operations.
Jeremy had surgery after feeling unwell on holiday.
He has told how doctors ordered him to change his lifestyle, insisting: “I am not allowed to have fun anymore. I must live in a holier-than-though fog of weeds, seeds and yoga. This is terrifying.”
But Jezza went on: “When the Grim Reaper poked his nose round the door, I decided that actually, I quite fancied living a little bit longer.
“I want to see my grandchildren grow up. I saw the dawn this morning and it was magnificent so I’d quite like to see a few more of those too.
“Also, I still want to visit the Galapagos Islands. To achieve this, I must live on water and steamed fish and exercise.”
