Jeremy Clarkson has revealed he was ‘days from death’ after a terrifying health scare.

Writing in his Sunday Times column, the 64-year-old broadcaster detailed a string of sudden and severe symptoms that began during a holiday – signs he initially brushed off but which ultimately led to an ambulance ride, surgery, and a life-saving stent.

It all began, he says, with an ill-fated attempt to dive from a boat while on holiday. Mid-air, Clarkson second-guessed his abilities and tried to convert the dive into a jump, resulting in what he described as ‘an almighty belly flop that caused pain ‘you measure in acres.’ 

But more concerning was what followed: struggling to swim a short distance and arriving at the beach ‘mostly dead.’

‘I’ve never struggled with swimming before, and now, suddenly, I can’t do it any more,’ he wrote. Back on dry land, he found he could barely manage stairs without support. 

‘There’s just no sense that my knees can handle the pressure,’ he admitted, fearing he was heading toward ‘a tumble.’

Once home, Clarkson’s condition deteriorated further. He woke up one morning feeling ‘clammy’ with a tight chest, but ignored the signs and carried on with his day. 

It was only after noticing pins and needles in his left arm that he decided to take action, and an ambulance was called. 

Clarkson was rushed to hospital where he was told one artery was completely blocked and another was nearly closed. 

‘Days away? ‘Maybe,’ the doctor told him when asked how close he was to catastrophe.

He underwent an angioplasty, which involved inserting a wire through his wrist to explore the damage in his arteries. 

‘It’s weird, lying there and feeling a metal pipe with a camera on the end wiggling its way round your shoulder and through your chest,’ he wrote.

Fortunately, surgeons were able to avoid a full heart bypass and instead fitted a stent to keep the artery open. 

Though he described the two-hour operation as ‘not especially painful, just odd,’ he made it clear just how close he came to disaster. 

Now, safely back home and recovering, Clarkson is using his brush with death to try to implement a healthier lifestyle.

Former Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss has been battling a health issue that rode the fence between public and private for weeks -- until now.

Moss revealed a couple of weeks back that he was dealing with an internal health battle during his regular work as a member of ESPN's "Sunday NFL Countdown."

Rumors had begun to spread as Moss's eyes had turned visibly yellow, and indication of jaundice that is typically associated with liver problems. He later revealed on Instagram that he was in poor health and asked for prayers.

However, Moss did not get specific about his ailment, which left elements of privacy and intrigue amid the public news about his condition. That all changed on Friday, Dec. 13, when Moss took to Instagram Live and revealed a diagnosis of liver cancer.
