Jeremy Clarkson has vowed that he’s done with launching new businesses following a series of “total disasters” with his pub venture and a recent health scare. The former Top Gear host, 65, dipped his toes in the hospitality industry by opening The Farmer’s Dog pub in August last year, leveraging the success of his Diddly Squat farm shop. However, Clarkson, who reportedly invested a whopping £1,000,000 in the pub, has been candid about the struggles in making a profit. As the costs continued to mount before Christmas , Clarkson confessed that the venture was a “total disaster”, leaving him worried if he’ll be able to recoup his investment. Writing for The Times, Clarkson laid bare the operational woes he faced, including the theft of glasses, the need to hire “a whole team of chemically trained hazmat engineers” after a toilet incident, and poor turkey sales – with only five sold out of 40 ordered, according to Gloucestershire Live . As if juggling the farm and pub wasn’t daunting enough, the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? host found himself in the hospital fighting for his life after a harrowing health scare. He ended up undergoing surgery after discovering one artery was completely blocked and another nearly so, having woken up feeling “clammy” with chest tightness and strange sensations in his arm. Having narrowly escaped death, Clarkson has categorically stated that he’s done with future business endeavours. He told The Times: “I’m done with business now. I am not starting another business as long as I live.” He confessed, “I don’t understand it and am not motivated by money. I just want a good craic.” These candid remarks come after his recent health scare, where a stent was inserted to keep an artery open, narrowly avoiding the need for a full heart bypass. Clarkson revealed that his sudden health decline nearly proved fatal, saying he was “days from death”. Following his health scare, Clarkson has been forced to make drastic lifestyle changes, which he describes as “horrific”. He lamented that he’s “not allowed to have fun anymore” and has had to take up exercise, cut back on drinking, and change his diet. This health setback coincides with Clarkson’s honest discussions about the financial struggles of running his pub, which have taken a toll on his well-being. He previously expressed his frustration with the hospitality industry to The Times, saying: “It’s galling to see how much effort is required to make so little money on the farm. “It’s worse at the pub. The customers are coming. There’s no problem there. But turning their visits into a profit is nigh-on impossible.” Clarkson’s Farm is available to watch on Amazon Prime Video.
