The 64-year-old former Top Gear host had to have the procedure after a ‘sudden deterioration’ in his health, with the star admitting: ‘Crikey, that was close.’

He started to feel unwell after swimming in the Indian Ocean while on a ‘small island’ on holiday and later found it difficult to climb a flight of stairs.

Jeremy returned to Britain and a ‘sudden deterioration began to gather pace’ with him feeling ‘clammy’, ‘tightness in my chest’, and ‘pins and needles in my left arm’.

After sharing the news in his Sunday Times column on Sunday, Jeremy shared a further update about his health.

He told The Sun: ‘I’m very grateful to everyone who sent supportive messages but I’m fine.

‘I just have to not do any manual labour or dishwasher emptying for the next four years. At least I think that’s what the doctor said.’

Alex Salmond‘s recent tragic death from a massive heart attack had sparked the motoring journalist to see his GP.

Jeremy wrote in his column in The Sunday Times how he felt ‘mostly dead’ after returning to the beach after a short swim.

He spent the rest of his break on a tropical island eating cheese and drinking wine. 

It was only when he returned to Britain and he was loading 30 pigs onto a ‘slaughterhouse school bus’ that he noticed pins and needles in his left arm.

He then went to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford via an ambulance, where a heart attack was ruled out after he had an electrocardiogram (ECG), blood tests and X-rays. 

He said he then went to an ‘operating theatre’ on Wednesday, after further checks, and doctors said he was perhaps ‘days away’ from death.

Once there he was fitted with a stent to his hold his arteries open, to improve blood flow to his heart and relieve his chest pain. 

A stent is a wire mesh tube that props open arteries. To open the narrowed artery, the surgeon may perform what’s known as an angioplasty. 

This involves making a small incision in a patient’s arm or leg, through which a wire with an attached deflated balloon is thread through up to the coronary arteries

Describing what he called the ‘wearisome effects of growing old’, Jeremy said: ‘It seems that of the arteries feeding my heart with nourishing blood, one was completely blocked and the second of three was heading that way.’

He said a stent, which can save lives and stop future heart attacks through improving blood flow to the heart, was fitted in around two hours.

The motoring journalist said: ‘It wasn’t especially painful. Just odd,’ and added that he has been thinking: ‘Crikey, that was close.’

Jeremy concluded saying he was ‘wondering what water tastes like and if it’s possible to make celery interesting’ following the health scare, as he seemed to consider lessening his meat intake.

Fans were left concerned two days ago when the veteran TV presenter appeared in a post on Instagram wearing what appeared to be a surgical plaster. 

One asked ‘how’d you hurt your wrist, Jezza?’ while another thought the ‘wrist injury is worrying’. 

Jeremy nine days ago shared exotic snaps on Instagram of ‘nine sunsets from an amazing holiday’ showing waves crashing against a sun-kissed sandy beach. 

He has previously revealed he had to quit smoking after contracting pneumonia on holiday in Spain.

Last month Jeremy, Richard Hammond and James May left their show The Grand Tour behind on Prime Video.

Clarkson has continued to present Clarkson’s Farm, which covers him running his Oxfordshire farm, on Prime Video, as well as Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? on ITV.

He recently opened a pub, called The Farmer’s Dog, in Asthall, near Burford, close to where he lives near Chipping Norton.

Former Scottish First Minister Salmond died from a ‘massive heart attack’ earlier this month in North Macedonia, aged 69.
