Jeremy Clarkson has revealed heâs ditched the weight loss drug Ozempic after it failed to deliver results and left him feeling unwell.
Instead, heâs turned to another diabetes medication and an unexpected food choice in his effort to shed pounds.
The 64-year-old former Top Gear host opened up about his weight loss journey following an emergency heart operation last year.
Writing in The Times, he admitted trying Ozempicâa drug originally designed for diabetes but widely used by celebrities for slimming down.
However, rather than helping him lose weight, he ended up half a stone heavier by the time he stopped taking it.
He said: âMy body lost the ability to deal with gluttony but once the initial enthusiasm had worn off, my mind still wanted to breakfast on Cadbury Fruit & Nut.

âThis meant I was sick a lot. And after I had vomited, I figured I was empty and could have another bottle and maybe another bar of chocolate too.â
Since quitting Ozempic, Clarkson has been âmicrodosingâ Mounjaro, another type 2 diabetes treatment, for three months and says it's been far more effective.
But while the drug has curbed his chocolate cravings, he confessed to indulging in a different luxury treat instead.
He said: âI've also discovered snail caviar, which is⌠actually unborn snails. But weirdly it does taste and feel like the real deal.
âSo you can pop a teaspoon of that onto half a Ritz cracker and you have yourself the 21st century's answer to a medieval banquet.â
He is a grandfather to Arlo Rose, two, and one-month-old Xanthe Fiadh from his eldest daughter Emily.

Aside from taking an Ozempic-style drug, he revealed at the time that he was also doing Pilates to lose weight.
The Grand Tour star explained that he has previously failed to get into a fitness routine because he dislikes discomfort, doesnât enjoy cycling and finds gym-goers âweirdâ.
However, he revealed he now does Reformer Pilates - a full-body workout that uses a bed-like machine with springs and ropes - and joked that he doesnât âunenjoyâ it âmostly because itâs done in slow motionâ.
Clarkson revealed in October that he noticed serious health issues while on holiday.
He detailed how a swim while on holiday in the Indian Ocean appeared to cause him difficulties using the stairs, which when he returned home meant a âsudden deterioration began to gather paceâ.
He had symptoms of being âclammyâ, with a âtightness in my chestâ, and âpins and needles in my left armâ, and after hearing the news of former Scottish first minister Alex Salmondâs fatal heart attack, he decided to go to see his doctor.
Clarkson was taken to the hospital via an ambulance, where doctors said he was perhaps âdays awayâ from getting very ill.
He was fitted with a stent, which can save lives and stop future heart attacks through improving blood flow to the heart.
The pub owner previously revealed he had to quit smoking after contracting pneumonia on holiday in Spain.
