Jeremy Clarkson gives health update amid filming series five of Clarkson's Farm
Jeremy Clarkson has shared a health update amid filming the next series of Clarkson's Farm.
The former Top Gear presenter, 65, has recently been back on screens with the fourth series of his hit Amazon show - and a fifth series is now underway filming.
But he shared in his latest The Sunday Times column, which was a car review, that he's been having health issues.
'I have a trapped nerve in my back at the moment," he said.
"It's fine if I'm not doing anything, but in the [Mercedes-Benz] G 580, not doing anything is impossible because it pitches and yaws and rolls all the time, and you never have any idea what it's going to do next.
"So you can't ever brace yourself."
It's not the only health update Clarkson has recently given, he recently shared a candid health update after a recent prostate examination.
The farmer shared his experiences of the screening, as he revealed he has had too many friends 'go down' with prostate cancer.
It comes a year after the star was just days from death before he underwent heart surgery to clear blocked arteries.
Writing in his weekly column for The Sunday Times, Mr Clarkson said his late doctor rarely informed him of any medical issues.
According to Clarkson, the medic 'was too busy name-dropping' his other celebrity clients, such as singer Rita Ora, while undergoing checks.
The 65-year-old, who recently claimed to have lost about a stone and a half after using the Mounjaro weight-loss jab, added that he now pays for his own medicals 'every couple of years'.
He then began talking about having a prostate exam, which involves a doctor inserting a finger into the rectum.
Clarkson said that he does not mind the process as 'we do need to know this stuff', as prostate cancer kills around 9,000 men in England every year.
He then reflected on unnamed friends who have been struck with the most common type of cancer in Britain.
Clarkson wrote: 'I've had too many friends go down with prostate cancer, and all it takes to get on top of the situation early is a moment or two of being a bit cross-eyed.
'You get the all-clear and the doc goes home happy. What's not to like? I went home very happy because the initial probing and photographing suggests all is well.
'And let me tell you, nothing makes you feel better than knowing for sure you're not going to drop dead tomorrow morning.'

An Englishman in Newport – Sting wows Isle of Wight Festival
Former The Police frontman Sting has wowed the crowds at the Isle of Wight Festival with a set of greatest hits. Wearing a white T-shirt and tight black trousers, the 73-year-old raced straight into fan favourite Message In A Bottle which got the crowd singing along. Half way through his one-and-a-half-hour slot, Sting said to the Newport audience: 'We are delighted to be back at the Isle of Wight festival, it's a historic festival. 'Thank you for inviting us.' After bounding through An Englishman in New York, Walking On The Moon and Every Breath You Take, the band went off before returning for an encore of Roxanne which the crowds enthusiastically sang along to. Sting then finished with Fragile, the only acoustic song in the set. Other bands taking to the Main Stage on Friday included Lottery Winners, Amy Macdonald, The Corrs and Faithless ending the night while Clean Bandit headlined the Big Top. Some 55,000 partygoers have crossed the Solent to reach Seaclose Park in Newport for the four-day event also being headlined by Stereophonics and Justin Timberlake. John Giddings, who has run the festival since re-launching it in 2002 following the legendary events which ran from 1968 to 1970, has said he goes with 'gut feeling' when choosing the acts. The 72-year-old told the PA news agency: 'You want to book acts that have a catalogue that's going to entertain an audience for an hour, hour and a half, and, secondly, someone who's capable of performing to an audience of 50,000 people in a field, because they need to be able to project to entertain.' Other acts performing during the weekend include The Script, Jess Glynne, Supergrass, Example, Busted and Texas.
