Sneak peek of Clarkson's Farm season four filming after Jeremy Clarkson revealed he had been close to death

Filming of the fourth season of Clarkson's Farm is continuing - just days after star of the show Jeremy Clarkson revealed he had been close to death after a heart scare.

Former Top Gear host Clarkson's 64-year-old girlfriend, Lisa Hogan, posted a social media clip of camera crews on their Chipping Norton farm on Monday morning (October 21).

"Series 4 filming," she wrote, as crew members were seen in a field filming farmers around a tractor.

It came after Clarkson revealed he was "days away from death" before undergoing an urgent heart operation last week following a "sudden deterioration".

He admitted he thought, 'Crikey, that was close', after the ordeal, which began after he started to feel unwell following a holiday swim in the Indian Ocean.

After the dip, the motoring legend said he found it difficult to climb a flight of stairs and after returning to the UK, his illness "began to gather pace", including a tightness in his chest and pins and needles in his left arm.

He has since told The Sun: "I'm very grateful to everyone who sent supportive messages but I'm fine.

"I just have to not do any manual labour or dishwasher emptying for the next four years. At least I think that's what the doctor said."

After discussing his ordeal in his Sunday Times column, the star said he visited his GP following the death of former Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond, who suffered a heart attack earlier this month at the age of 69, while in North Macedonia.

He was taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford by ambulance, where doctors ruled out a heart attack following an electrocardiogram (ECG), blood tests and X-rays.

However, he said underwent surgery on Wednesday, after further checks, and doctors said he was perhaps days away from death.

Surgeons fitted a stent to his hold his arteries open, improving blood flow to his heart and relieving his chest pain.

"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 went on, adding: "It wasn't especially painful. Just odd."

Just weeks after opening his first pub in the Cotswolds, Clarkson said he was advised to improve his lifestyle - eating more healthily.

On changing his diet following the scare, the host said he was "wondering what water tastes like and if it's possible to make celery interesting".
