Jeremy Clarkson has shared a health update amid filming the next series of Clarkson’s Farm.
The former Top Gear presenter, 65, has recently been back on screens with the fourth series of his hit Amazon show - and a fifth series is now underway filming.
But he shared in his latest The Sunday Times column, which was a car review, that he’s been having health issues.
“I have a trapped nerve in my back at the moment," he said.
"It’s fine if I’m not doing anything, but in the [Mercedes-Benz] G 580, not doing anything is impossible because it pitches and yaws and rolls all the time, and you never have any idea what it’s going to do next.
"So you can’t ever brace yourself."
It’s not the only health update Clarkson has recently given, he recently shared a candid health update after a recent prostate examination.
The farmer shared his experiences of the screening, as he revealed he has had too many friends “go down” with prostate cancer.
It comes a year after the star was just days from death before he underwent heart surgery to clear blocked arteries.
Writing in his weekly column for The Sunday Times, Mr Clarkson said his late doctor rarely informed him of any medical issues.
According to Clarkson, the medic “was too busy name-dropping” his other celebrity clients, such as singer Rita Ora, while undergoing checks.
The 65-year-old, who recently claimed to have lost about a stone and a half after using the Mounjaro weight-loss jab, added that he now pays for his own medicals “every couple of years”.
He then began talking about having a prostate exam, which involves a doctor inserting a finger into the rectum.
Clarkson said that he does not mind the process as “we do need to know this stuff”, as prostate cancer kills around 9,000 men in England every year.
He then reflected on unnamed friends who have been struck with the most common type of cancer in Britain.
Clarkson wrote: “I’ve had too many friends go down with prostate cancer, and all it takes to get on top of the situation early is a moment or two of being a bit cross-eyed.
“You get the all-clear and the doc goes home happy. What’s not to like? I went home very happy because the initial probing and photographing suggests all is well.
“And let me tell you, nothing makes you feel better than knowing for sure you’re not going to drop dead tomorrow morning.”
