JEREMY Clarkson has shared a fresh health update after his major heart surgery forced him to overhaul his life.
The Sun columnist and Clarkson’s Farm star was rushed in for an emergency operation last year to clear blocked arteries.
Jeremy, 64, discovered his urgent medical problem after falling ill while on holiday.
After overhauling his life following the life-saving op, the former Top Gear host has now shared an insight into his day-to-day life.
He said: “My phone flashed up this morning saying: ‘you are taking far fewer steps this week than last’.
“I thought ‘yeah I would be as I am sitting here’. It also says you are eating far fewer sausages.
“I just sit here and eat celery. I am feeling better on it. I do feel very well.”
Jeremy added that he now has a dietician who advised him to avoid processed foods.
He said: “I have been to see a dietician. The dietician has given me a pretty good list and said: ‘don’t eat processed food’.
“If it’s got more than one ingredient in it, don’t eat it. I feel great.”
Jeremy previously detailed his hospital dash in his Sun column where he revealed there was a five per cent chance his heart would stop.

“I felt like a car. My fuel lines had become all clogged up and they were mending them. Easy.
“Sure, they said there was a five per cent chance that my heart would stop but there’s a five per cent chance I’ll be eaten by a lion this afternoon and I’m not worried about that.”
The petrol head is back at the helm of Who Wants to Be A Millionaire this Sunday for a brand new celebrity series at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
