Jeremy Clarkson opens up about emergency heart operation after being 'days from death'
Earlier this year, while filming Who Wants to be a Millionaire?, Clarkson provided an update on his health routine, joking about his phone alerting him: "My phone flashed up this morning saying: 'you are taking far fewer steps this week than last.' I thought, 'yeah I would be as I am sitting here.' It also says you are eating far fewer sausages. I just sit here and eat celery. I am feeling better on it. I do feel very well."

Jeremy Clarkson's Farm pub plagued by walkouts as staff quit in 'disaster'
Jeremy Clarkson's pub The Farmer's Dog was hit with a mass walkout with staff storming out the bar and demanding to quit. Jeremy Clarkson's pub launch was overshadowed by staff walkouts, details of which have only now come to light. The ex-Top Gear host faced intense challenges during the inaugural weekend of The Farmer's Dog in August last year. The Farmer's Dog is located in Burford, Oxfordshire, in the heart of the Cotswolds. But in the season four finale of Clarkson's Farm, released on Prime Video last week, the 65-year-old is forced to acknowledge a string of mishaps. In a candid conversation with Charlie Ireland after a tumultuous opening day at his licensed establishment, Clarkson admits: "We've lost two waitresses. We lost a pot washer. After one day." His troubles are compounded when he engages in urgent discussions with Sue and Rachel, his front of house team, in the pub's upstairs bar. The duo convey their concerns, indicating that the situation is dire with "too many problems" to operate a "successful business," reports the Express. They reveal the staff's fatigue, saying: "Everyone is exhausted, even when we say go for a break, there is no staff room," and highlight the less-than-ideal working conditions: "They're weeing in a port aloo. It's not lovely conditions." Offering some reassurance to Clarkson, they add: "They love you. They're excited about the British food," to which Clarkson insists: "I have no problem with the staff. Not one single problem with the staff. They're all brilliant. They are smiling. They are nice." However, Sue and Rachel warn him about the impending crisis in the kitchen as they explain: "The kitchen is about to go pop, those chefs have had it.... It might be worth popping into the kitchen," they suggest. "I just popped in," Clarkson retorts, to which Sue and Rachel reply: "go back." Jeremy, worn out from juggling farm duties and preparing the pub for its opening, hits back: "Do you want me to go and find a manager? Or go back into the kitchen?" His sarcastic tirade about his workload continues: "Or do you want me to mend the leak? Or do you want me to deal with the car parking issues? Or do you want me to deal with the neighbours? "Do you want me to deal with the council? I've got plenty to be doing and I'll get on with it. Thank you." This outburst was the last straw for the pair who subsequently resigned. However, an undeterred Jeremy insists he has a solution. "We've worked out if we shut the lavatories and use plastic glasses instead of glass ones, we'll have enough water to serve food until six," he concedes. "The next problem is Sue and Rachel, who brilliantly set up the pub, have now left. So it's a Sunday morning, I've managed to secure a new front of house person who is the head of sixth form at the local village school. That's good." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

‘Is that your final answer?' Take our game-show quiz
If the phrases 'Fastest finger first', 'That's an untenable answer', and 'Say what you see' quicken your pulse, then the launch of the ITV Quiz channel will be welcome news. The new venture is taking the Freeview slot (channel 28) that has been occupied by ITVBe since October 2014. While ITVBe's reality programming, including The Only Way is Essex, will move over to ITV2, ITV Quiz is bringing us a schedule replete with game-show staples, including Tipping Point, Wheel of Fortune, Deal or No Deal?, Lingo, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and Tenable. 'Quiz and game shows have always been a staple in ITV's entertainment schedule,' says Craig Morris, the managing editor of channels and ITVX, 'as well as being some of ITV's most popular watch-along and play-along formats. Now for the first time, we are able to house many of our most familiar quizzes under one TV roof.' But how well do you know your classic ITV game shows? We've compiled a quiz to test your knowledge. Plus, we've asked three current ITV game-show hosts to chip in with a question of their own. Let's discover if you have the Krypton Factor. Or will our survey say, XXX?

Why do farmers hate Clarkson's Farm so much?
Clarkson's Farm is back – with the finale of season four out on Prime Video today – but not everyone is happy about it. It's not the anti-farming brigade I'm talking about – or even the specific anti-Clarkson brigade, who've disliked him since his Top Gear days. No, it's the people within the rural and farming communities that I'm talking about. When the programme launched, it was heralded by many as something of a miracle for British agriculture. Clarkson's programme showed the people at home all the ups and downs of farming life in its brutal reality: the sheaves of inane paperwork; the incentives to actually not farm at all; the masochism of the British weather and the brutal acceptance that with life, comes death. As farmers always say, 'where there's livestock, there's deadstock', and Clarkson's Farm didn't shy away from showing viewers this truth. It might not all be entirely genuine, but it was far closer to the truth of life in the countryside than the likes of your average Countryfile episode. In fact, author and sheep farmer James Rebanks went so far as to say that Jeremy Clarkson had done more for farmers in one TV series than Countryfile managed in 30 years.
