TV presenter says operation did not faze him, but thought of nursing elderflower juice at a party is scary

Jeremy Clarkson has spoken of having to adapt to a new way of life after having “extremely urgent” heart surgery. The former Top Gear host was recently fitted with two stents, which improve blood flow to the heart.

Clarkson, 64, who recorded the last episode of Amazon’s The Grand Tour last year, said he was not fazed by the operation, and that facing the prospect of abstaining from alcohol, having to exercise and adopt a healthy diet was his real fear.
