It’s a bittersweet few days for Jeremy Clarkson fans as with the joyous news of his hit Prime Video series Clarkson’s Farm being renewed for a fourth series, meaning we’ve got two more series to look forward to, the star has admitted he needs to make a major change to his lifestyle in order to reduce his risk of illness.
The former Top Gear host gave the news is usual fashion. It was a chaotic scene with sheep running wild along with partner Lisa as he announcedd the news of a fourth season of the hit docu-series.
He says: “I wanted to write ‘IV’, number for, to announce that the fourth series of Clarkson’s Farm is coming. Why does everything go wrong?”
However, writing in his Sunday Times column, Clarkson opened up about his fear of diabetes. He said that he was told that to lower his risk of developing diabetes, he’d been told to walk 10,000 steps a day. But, due to his hectic work schedule, he says that’s a near impossible feat.
He was daunted by his own abilities to complete the task, admitting in his column that when he goes to the football with his son, he struggles to keep up with the pace other people are walking at.

Clarkson wrote: “Which means that for the first half of the match I can’t concentrate on the football because I’m too busy coughing up my spleen and trying to get my breath back.”
The Prime Video presenter then went on to say he wants to make a changed saying “I need to do something about this, however… A report out last week said that if I increase my typical walking speed from 0.1mph to 0.7mph I’d reduce the chance of catching type 2 diabetes by nine per cent.
“If I could get up to four mph, then there’d be a 39 per cent lower risk.”
It wouldn’t be Clarkson without a bit of a moan of the state of things. And, he did just that, taking aim at the wellbeing market, saying: “One minute, tomatoes give you cancer and the next they protect your brain, heart and gut.
“Then there’s red meat. On a Tuesday it’s carcinogenic, and then the next morning it’s a vital source of iron, protein and vitamin B. How are we supposed to keep up with all of this?”
