Jeremy Clarkson, 61, got more than he’d bargained for when he decided to take some time off, away from his hectic schedule running Diddly Squat Farm. The Grand Tour host packed his bags and went to the Seychelles in search of sun, sea, and sand last month.However, he was in for a fright when he started to feel “really ill” on the plane.After dealing with numerous debacles at the airport due to Covid travel restrictions, Jeremy found himself turning down the complimentary champagne on his flight, due to his symptoms.Recalling his concerns in his latest column for The Sunday Times, Jeremy admitted: “I started to feel ill. Really ill. “So ill that I declined the complimentary champagne.“Seven hours later, bathed in sweat and barely able to breathe, I landed in Dubai, where I took my laptop out, again, and removed my shoes and watch, again, before setting off on the 200-mile trudge to the train that would take me to the A gates, where the flight to the Seychelles was due to depart.”By this point Jeremy started to fear the worst, thinking he could have come down with Covid.He added: “And all the while I knew I should not get on it.
