Jeremy Clarkso’s Pickleball Injury: Jeremy Clarkson, 65, revealed a bloody hand injury after playing pickleball, alarming fans with a graphic Instagram post. The Clarkson’s Farm and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire host has been focusing on fitness following a heart procedure last year, but his latest sporting effort led to unexpected harm.
Lifestyle Changes After Heart Scare
In October, Clarkson underwent a stent procedure after feeling “clammy” and experiencing chest tightness. He shared in his Sunday Times column,
“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.”(Jeremy Clarkson)
After recovering, Clarkson made major changes to his diet and activities. He cut out red meat, chips, butter, and other foods he loved. Describing the changes, he said his new lifestyle was “horrific” after just one week.

Fans quickly reacted with humor and concern. One joked, “You are not supposed to hit the ball with your hand, jeremy.” Another asked, “How, in all that’s holy, did you do that?” Others added, “You seemed to have gotten your self into a right pickle there Jeremy!” and “Only Jeremy could do this to himself because he’s not at all accident prone.”
Another fan wondered, “How’s he done that?” while another said, “Only Clarkson can turn pickleball into something risky.”
