I’m doing everything I can to stay alive – a new arrival has made me determined no to die, says Jeremy Clarkson
JEREMY Clarkson has revealed he’s overhauled his life after a new arrival left him ‘determined not to die’.
Jeremy, 65, shocked his fans in October last year when he revealed he had undergone emergency heart surgery.

The Clarkson’s Farm star ended up having two stents fitted to improve the flow of blood to his heart, and since then he has had to make a series of changes to his diet and lifestyle.
Now in his latest column for The Sunday Times, Jeremy has revealed one of his biggest incentives for getting fit and healthy – his granddaughters.
Jeremy has two grandchildren via his eldest daughter Emily; Arlo Rose, two and Xanthe Fiadh who was born just before Christmas.
In his column, Jeremy spoke of his joy at being a grandfather and said of his grandchildren: “I have decided that it is so wonderful that I want it to go on for as long as is humanly possible.
“Which means I must do everything in my power to not die.”
He then went on to detail how he has tried to get fit on numerous occasions in the past, but hates the gym, doesn’t enjoy cycling and couldn’t get away with yoga.
Even his girlfriend Lisa Hogan tried to help and bought them “some kind of cage full of bars and straps and ingots” but it soon became a “dust trap”.
He liked to go for walks when he had the time or inclination, but admitted: “Michelangelo’s David burns more calories than I do when I’m out and about, so I continued to get fatter and more out of breath, and when you want to see your grandchildren grow up, that’s not good enough.”
But following his heart surgery, Jeremy decided to give Pilates a try and to his immense surprise, he enjoys it.
It’s helped by the fact that his Pilates teacher makes him laugh and the slow pace of the exercises involved suit him, but still achieve results.
He said: “What we’ve learnt so far is that my pelvis is so cockeyed I look like a broken shotgun, my legs are very “heavy” and that my fat can be made to hurt.”
Despite the slower pace of exercise, Jeremy admitted he regularly wakes up find his legs are stiff, even though he doesn’t feel like he had done very much.
But his teacher reassures him that he has and he added: “That makes me happy because so far I’ve relied on luck to keep me alive.
“But I’m in sniper’s alley right now and I have to work at dodging the bullets.”

Love Island drug scandal as Stacey Solomon’s ex ‘smuggled narcotics into villa’ and shared them with co-stars
LOVE Island has become embroiled in a historic drugs scandal centred on Stacey Solomon’s ex.
The X Factor alum, 35, dated Jackass star Steve-O, 50, after they met while filming reality series The Jump.

Yet now American stunt performer and comedian Steve-O, famed for his role in the dare-devil reality series, is the centre of attention for his former Love Island stint.
Steve-O appeared in the celebrity version of the matchmaking show in 2006 and has now been accused of smuggling drugs into the villa, which was in Fiji at the time.
The scandal came around after a confession by the late Paul Danan, in the final podcast released before his death last month.
In the Outlet Ten Discussions Podcast Steve-O’s fellow Love Island alum Paul said of his villa entry: “They didn’t search you or anything like that because we’re not stupid.
“No one’s gonna bring nothing on there. But guess who f**king did?
“They got Steve-O from Jackass, and he basically swallowed a load of f**king whatever, and he was like s**tting it out!”
He then suggested Steve-O, whose real name is Stephen Glover, made a bong by cutting off the top of an apple while in the middle of the villa.
Paul added: “So there we are me and Steve-O just smoking away this apple, and you can hear ‘Paul and Steve-O, can you come to the Beach Hut right now.’
“They know they can’t use any of it obviously, and he got chucked out. They were like, ‘you can’t do that, man.'”
At the time Steve-O left the villa, ITV released a statement that read: “Steve-O became very emotional last night and again this morning, and was upsetting some of the other celebrities.
“We therefore agreed with him that he should go home.
“He has been great entertainment since he arrived on Monday, and we thank him for his contribution.”
ITV bosses declined to comment when approached by The Sun.
LOVE STORY
Meanwhile, Steve-O and Stacey met on wintersports reality show The Jump back in 2015 and had a whirlwind romance.

One fan called the relationship “actually nuts” while another boggled: “What the actual f**k?”
For a while they were a real celebrity couple and dated for six months before the distance between the pair made the relationship difficult.
Sadly Steve-O and Stacey were not to be with an insider telling The Sun at the time: “Stacey found it hard being away from Steve-O so they decided to put their relationship on hold.”
“He has a huge tour in the States, as that’s where his fanbase is. The relationship developed quickly and was a real whirlwind, but for the time being it’s not to be.”
Their break-up paved the way for her now-husband Joe Swash to start dating in 2016.
