Jeremy Clarkson Reveals Painful Recent Hospital Visit
In other news, Jeremy recently revealed he was rushed to hospital in October for unexpected and “urgent” treatment.
The 65-year-old explained that he suddenly became “very poorly” on October 5 and had to seek help at an NHS hospital because the nearest private doctor was two hours away in London.
In his Sunday Times column, Clarkson described the procedure as:
“Defcon 1 painful. They had to peel me off the ceiling with a spatula.”
He added that he was forced to stay overnight for monitoring.
Ironically, the emergency visit came just hours after he had publicly criticised the NHS in a previous column, calling it:
“A creaking monster, past its sell-by date.”
He humorously admitted the awkward timing but declined to reveal the specific cause of his medical issue:
“I’m not going to tell you what was wrong, because that’s none of your business.”
