Jeremy Clarkson underwent emergency heart surgery last week and in his column for the Sun, the Clarkson's Farm presenter revealed how he wasn't enjoying the lifestyle changes he's had to make.
Writing for the publication, the star revealed how he's had to radically change his diet, penning: "The worst problem though is diet. To cut my alarmingly high levels of cholesterol, I need to cut out, completely, everything I like eating.
"Bacon, sausages, beef, lamb, pork, butter, chips, proper milk, Cadbury's fruit and nut bars and the interesting bit in an egg. I've had a week now to live in the new regime and it's horrific."
Jeremy then shared how he wasn't enjoying the healthier options that he was now eating, which partially consisted of Greek yogurt and kale, joking the latter tasted "like eating the contents of a AAA battery".

"I must even go on the sort of 'walk' where I end up back where I started," he explained. "What's the point of that? And I must pick things up with the sole aim of putting them down again.

Despite the radical changes in the presenter's life, he wrote it was worth it to continue living. "I want to see my grandchildren grow up," he said. "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."

The 64-year-old explained that he felt "clammy", with a "tightness in my chest", and "pins and needles in my left arm". Jeremy decided to visit a hospital due to the sudden death of former Scottish first minister, Alex Salmond, who died earlier in the month following a heart attack at the age of 69.

The father-of-three has been open about his health issues and previously revealed in his Sunday Times column that his son, Finlo, was part of his drive to get healthier, as he noted how he would struggle to get his "breath back" whenever they went on walks together.
