GMB: Jeremy Clarkson doesn't want to talk about his pub
Jeremy Clarkson was the subject of criticism on X from vegetarians yesterday when he appeared on ITV to present Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
One user typed: "Animal abuse supporter on TV alert: 8pm @ITV Sunday bully boy, badger hating, fox hunt supporter @JeremyClarkson avoid his show or record, skip through to the adverts and contact advertisers and tell them how animal abuse affects your buying habits."
In response another user commented: "Me too. And now he seems to have had a Heart attack, and needed surgery what does he expect eating all that meat? He can't be surprised!" (sic)
However Jeremy not one to be kicked while lying down, shared how he has no regrets over his lifestyle choices that may have contributed to his ill-health.
He quipped: "Better than dying of vegetable induced boredom."

Jeremy revealed over the weekend how he underwent a heart procedure after a "sudden deterioration" in his health.
The 64-year-old said a swim on holiday appeared to cause him difficulties using stairs, with symptoms worsening when he returned to the UK.
Jeremy told The Sunday Times he felt "clammy", a "tightness in my chest" and "pins and needles in my left arm".
The former Top Gear host said he went to see his doctor after hearing about Alex Salmond's sudden death last weekend.

He ended up going to Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital via ambulance, but tests including an electrocardiogram (ECG) ruled out a heart attack.
Jeremy said doctors believed he was potentially "days away" from becoming very ill.
"It seems that of the arteries feeding my heart with nourishing blood, one was completely blocked and the second of three was heading that way," he told The Sunday Times.
A stent - a tiny device to keep an artery open - was fitted in about two hours.

Jeremy said the episode left him thinking, "Crikey, that was close".
He suggested he's looking to move to a healthier diet and is "wondering what water tastes like and if it's possible to make celery interesting".
It's not the presenter's first health scare.
Jeremy quit a 40-a-day cigarette habit seven years ago, and in his Sun column last year said a doctor had noticed a "worrying rise in my blood pressure" caused by nicotine gum.
