Jeremy Clarkson, 60, has revealed lockdown has left him drinking himself “silly”. The former Top Gear star has been spending a lot of time on his Oxfordshire farm, which will soon be the subject of a new Amazon Prime Video series.

Jeremy has opened up about his health woes in a new interview ahead of his series.

The Grand Tour presenter has admitted he is now “the unfittest” he’s ever been.

He explained: “It’s not the Ploughman’s lunches, it’s the phenomenal amount of drinking when you’re locked down.”

The former Top Gear star admitted he and his girlfriend, Lisa Hogan, drunk a lot during lockdown.

This is especially the case as their fellow farm worker Kaleb Cooper doesn’t drink.

Jeremy continued to The Sun: “[Kaleb] doesn’t drink really so I have to take up his slack.

“[For] 12 months, Lisa and I have drank ourselves silly.

“When you’re farming one of the joys is the sun going down and leaning on a fence and looking at your sheep or your crops or watching the changing of the seasons.

“So has it made me fitter? No.

“And the other thing about farming is how automated it is, you never have to actually walk anywhere, you just drive everywhere. It’s fantastic.

“I’m the unfittest I’ve ever been.”

Jeremy has owned his Diddly Squat farm in Chipping Norton since 2008 and took over running it in 2019.

He’ll soon be starring in the new series all about farming on Amazon Prime Video.

Called Clarkson’s Farm, the show will land on the streaming platform on Friday, June 11.

This will be an eight-part series focusing on Jeremy’s trials and tribulations as he adapts to filming.

The show will chart the time from August 2019 right up through the impact of severe floods and Covid-19.

Elsewhere, Jeremy has also been opening up about his health as he discusses ageing.

In a new interview, he said: “Everyone I know dies at 61.

“All my friends did, my dad did, that’s when you go, ‘If I make it to 62, I’ll be here forever.'”

He continued to The Mirror: “But I don’t feel old. When I see myself on screen I think, ‘Who’s that?’

“I always expect a 19-year-old to be looking back at me.”
