Jeremy Clarkson hits back at vegan troll after being mocked for serious heart issue

Jeremy Clarkson has hit back in typical fashion at a vegan troll who mocked him over his recent serious heart issue that left him 'days from death'.

The 64-year-old has reinvented himself in recent years, swapping a career with cars on Top Gear and The Grand Tour for Clarkson's Farm, as he has become a full-time farmer in the heart of England's Cotswolds.

With three seasons of the Amazon Prime Video documentary under his belt already, Clarkson has very much embraced life on the 1,000-acre Diddly Squat Farm alongside his long-term partner, Lisa Hogan.

But while holidaying this summer, the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire star revealed he began suffering from unusual symptoms.

Clarkson revealed in his Sunday Times column that he was left unable to climb stairs without someone lending a hand, and also getting into trouble when swimming.

"These problems all manifested themselves in one day, which made the rest of my holiday extremely relaxing because all I did was sit in a chair drinking wine and eating cheese," he wrote.

This came just months after revealing he 'doesn't have long left' in what is now a very sobering interview.

Once back in Blighty, Clarkson ended up being rushed to hospital after he had a pins and needles sensation in his left arm.

There, doctors revealed he had a 'completely blocked' artery, with another closing in on a similarly bad situation.

After being fitted with stents and avoiding surgery, Clarkson was told by doctors that he could have very much been 'days away' from saying goodbye for good if he had not sought out medical help.

Throughout this time, matters were made worse back on the farm, as one of his dogs was rushed to her own emergency surgery.

Over on X (formerly Twitter), where Jezza is quite vocal with those talking about him, one user took a swipe at him over his recent health scare.

With one user saying she 'boycotts' him and his products as an active vegan, she wrote: "Now he seems to have had a heart attack and needed surgery. What does he expect eating all that meat? He can't be surprised!"

Clarkson quickly replied, simply saying: "Better than dying of vegetable induced boredom."

Others offered their support to Jeremy, with one saying: "Get well and then stay well, please. Ignore all the cobblers."

A second said: "Classic Clarkson."

And a third wrote: "Ignore these people."
