Jeremy Clarkson’s ‘sh*t week’ has gone from bad to worse after his poorly pet dog had to have an operation.

The former Top Gear host was recently rushed to hospital after having a health scare as he returned from a holiday in the Indian Ocean.

In his Sunday Times column, Mr Clarkson revealed that he went to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford via an ambulance.

The 64-year-old then went to an “operating theatre”, after further checks, and doctors said he was perhaps “days away” from getting very ill.

Mr Clarkson had more bad news on Sunday though as he shared an update about his pet dog on social media.

Posting a photograph of the animal on Instagram, he said: “The poor thing is under the knife as we speak.

“She has pyometra. Sh*t week.”
