Jeremy Clarkson has opened up about a health scare that led to him urgently seeking medical attention while on a getaway with partner Lisa Hogan.
The former Top Gear man discovered a "five-centimetre cyst" on his back and decided to cut his "miserable" trip away with Hogan short and have it seen to.
This isn't the first time in recent months that Clarkson has opened up about his health worries, with the Clarkson's Farm star admitting back in December he "needed to do something" to curb the chances of developing diabetes.
He also previously divulged how he has begun using hearing aids in an attempt to lower his chances of being diagnosed with dementia.
During his recent break away from Diddly Squat with Hogan, the pair headed to a "health farm".
Delving into the specifics, Clarkson said: "I had a five-centimetre cyst, which is now not a cyst anymore.

"Lisa took me to a health farm and, well, it was so miserable there that I thought, 'I've got to have this cyst taken out at some point, I may as well go now'.
"So I checked out of the whole place and checked into hospital because it was more fun having an operation than eating juniper berries all day long.
"As I lay under the surgeon’s knife, I thought, 'This is preferable'," he continued to The Sun.
However, looking on the bright side, Clarkson explained: "I did actually lose a stone though — mind you, half of that was probably the cyst.

"But it wasn’t cancer. It was never going to be cancerous though — I wasn’t in the mood."
He told the publication he underwent the operation back in October - just weeks before he confirmed Clarkson's Farm would be returning for a fourth series.
Meanwhile, in the world of Diddly Squat, Clarkson has shown his support for righthand man Kaleb Cooper as he embarks on a nationwide tour.
Clarkson penned an Instagram tribute to the young farmer and Chipping Norton native as he prepares to leave the comforts of West Oxfordshire for theatres up and down the country.
