The Grand Tour presenter had been suffering from pneumonia while vacationing in Mallorca with his family and went to hospital for treatment, according to a spokesperson for his Amazon car show:

"Jeremy Clarkson was admitted to hospital on Friday morning during a family holiday in Spain and is being treated for pneumonia."

The former Top Gear host had posted a photo of his arm, attached to a drip with hospital wrist bands, alongside the caption: "Not the sort of bangles I usually choose on holiday."

He also replied to a tweet from Jemima Goldsmith from his hospital bed.

The 57-year-old is taking a break from filming The Grand Tour. The Amazon series has been shooting all over the world but suffered a shock when Clarkson's co-presenter Richard Hammond escaped a horror crash in Switzerland which left his vehicle upturned and in flames.
