Television host Jeremy Clarkson has claimed that his attempt at using medication to help his weight loss ‘didn’t work’, so he’s now going for something very different
Telly star Jeremy Clarkson has ditched weight loss medication and is now eating a specific delicacy to help in his healthy lifestyle goals.
The former Top Gear host has been open the last few years about how he is “trying everything not to die” after some health woes. At one point he said he was “barely able to move” because of it.
However, Jeremy, 64, said that the medication he took to help his weight loss “didn’t work”. It forced him to look at other options – and it seems he’s found one in a very specific food that would make many people’s stomachs turn.
Writing in his Times column, he revealed: “I’ve also discovered snail caviar which is a_ white and b) no such thing. It’s actually unborn snails.
“But weirdly it does taste and feel like the real deal.”
He went on: “So you can pop a teaspoon of that onto half a Ritz cracker and you have yourself the 21st century’s answer to a medieval banquet.”
Last year, Jeremy revealed that he almost died before he was taken in for emergency heart surgery.

He wrote how he had started developing worrying symptoms that left him struggling to walk up the stairs, and difficulty swimming. But from there, things suddenly got worse.
Jeremy explained how he recalled how a “sudden deterioration began to gather pace”.
A later symptom was pins and needles in his left arm. And rather than ignore it, while working on his farm after a holiday, he called an ambulance.
The Prime Video favourite had an electrocardiogram, blood tests and X-rays. Luckily, they ruled out a heart attack.
Days later he went in for an operation. At the time, doctors said he could have been days away from dying.
During the operation, Jeremy had a wire mesh tube fitted to help improve his blood flow. But he put his health woes down to the “wearisome effects of growing old”.
Not long after, Jeremy suffered another setback in his newly healthy lifestyle. He feared a “slipped disc” but it left him struggling to move.
