Jeremy Clarkson admitted he is “too weak” to open a bottle of ketchup in his latest health worry – after turning to “fat jabs” after a heart scare. The Clarkson’s Farm star, 66, lost three stone in just six months while taking Mounjaro, but also noticed side effects including not being “quite as quick-witted”.
Now, he has told The Sun that he can’t even open a ketchup bottle. He wrote in his latest column: “I learned that a third of the weight loss has come from lean muscle. It shows. I now have legs like pipe cleaners and I can no longer open the ketchup bottle.”
He admitted he “looks like something Lowry painted”, admitting that he now has to do Pilates twice a week and lift weights to improve his muscles.
He added: “That begs a question. If I’m going to have to do gym stuff, why take the jabs in the first place?”
The GB News panel was keen to react to the news. Commentator Barry Gardiner admitted: “I’m very concerned. I want to know what Christo’s relationship with ketchup is.” Fellow panelist Christo Foufas said: “Oh yes, you’re talking about Jeremy Clarkson and his heartfelt admission that fat jabs have left him too weak to open a ketchup bottle.
“Well firstly, get the squeezy bottle, but secondly I have done an extensive amount of weights training since I’ve started the fat jabs, keeping up my muscle mass, which means my wrists are very strong, Barry.”
Gardiner said: “They may be strong for another reason, of course.
“I think you make a really important point because actually if you are taking the fat jabs, and many people in the viewing audience will be, it really is important to do that physical activity as well and to build that muscle mass.”
Foufas responded: “That’s what this is, he’s so weak that he’s lost his muscle mass and he can’t even open a bottle of ketchup. I mean, that is the real tragedy today.”
Jeremy has confessed he also experienced a reduced libido after starting the injections, but suggested that could also be down to his age. His weight loss has plateaued, but he is continuing to take the medication to ensure he doesn’t pile the pounds back on.
