JEREMY Clarkson tells his co-star Kaleb Cooper “my heart wasn’t getting any blood” as he’s seen in hospital after having an operation.
The dramatic first trailer of Clarkson’s Farm series five released today and the 66-year-old is opening up like never before.
In one scene, an ambulance is seen rushing to Diddly Squat Farm before Jeremy is seen laid up in a hospital bed, with wires attached to his chest and a nurse assisting him.
He’s seen telling Kaleb: “You’ve got three arteries that feed your heart to keep it pumping.
“My heart wasn’t getting any blood.”
A shocked Kaleb gasps as he opens his mouth wide, surprised at what he’s hearing.
Later on in the teaser, Jeremy is having a conversation with another farmer as she tells him: “To be fair my mother dropped dead of a heart attack at 67.”
He sarcastically responds: “There you go, you see? Cheery news.”
Elsewhere in the trailer, Jeremy shows off his brand new driverless tractor and some new sheep arrive to cause mayhem at the farm.
As well as this, a government budget sends shockwaves through the UK farming community, making things even more tougher for farmers.
In October 2024, Jeremy first revealed he had faced a hospital dash before undergoing an emergency heart operation.
He said he experienced worrying symptoms such as feeling “clammy”, “tightness in my chest”, and “pins and needles in my left arm”.
Last year, the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? host opened up to The Sun about his health issues.
He admitted: “You can see me becoming more and more ill as the days go on, because I just lose my sense of humour, lose my ability to stay calm. I get in a proper old panic.
“I didn’t know at the time. I knew I wasn’t being me. Because if you don’t sleep, it very quickly has an effect,” he said.
“I was trying to get the pub open for the August Bank Holiday weekend, and at the same time doing the harvest on the farm.
“And it’s very well documented I ended up in hospital with a heart problem, when you see how stressful it was trying to do those two things – there’s simply no sleep.
“I was coming back knackered from a day trying to get the pub open, and having to get straight into the tractor to do grain carting through the night.
“You can’t make the harvest wait, if it’s dry, ready and fit, as they say in farming I’ve discovered, if the wheat and barley fit you’ve got to get out there. God it was knackering.”
Jeremy also revealed how things going wrong and last-minute “disasters” also took its toll, with the former Top Gear star now admitting he was ‘silly’ to attempt to do as much as he did across the two days.
Jezza continued: “The amount of things that went wrong in the two days in the opening weekend.
“I know everyone’s going to say you made that up, it can’t possibly be that disastrous. But it was.
“It was one thing after another after another, it was incredibly stressful.
“That was idiotic to try and do what I tried to do over those weekends.
Jeremy revealed in his Sunday Times column an ambulance rushed him to Oxford’s John Radcliffe Hospital where tests ruled out a heart attack.
However, further examinations revealed one artery was fully blocked and another was nearly blocked, putting him at serious risk.
