		</div><p>Jeremy Clarkson has revealed he was told by doctors he could have died after battling pneumonia.</p>
<p>The Grand Tour presenter fell ill earlier this month while on the Spanish island of Mallorca and has opened up about his time in hospital in his Sunday Times column.</p>
<p>He wrote that he had spent “three nights spent spasming in my bed” before a doctor sent him for tests at the hospital.</p>
<p>He was then told he would have to be admitted “for at least a week”, which he called “impossible”.</p>
<p>The doctor added: ‘If you don’t do as I say you will die’, writes Clarkson.</p>
<p>The TV presenter described his boredom in the hospital as “so bad I thought often about killing myself”.</p>
<p>He writes: <i>“I’m sure many of you will have found yourself in hospital, not having planned to be there.</p>
<p>“But for me it was a new experience. And a weird one.</p>
<p>“Because I was in a room with nothing on the walls except wallpaper, and most of that was coming off.”</i></p>
<p>Clarkson has now left hospital, but faces two months of recuperation.</p>
<p>He added: <i>“This is the problem with hospitals. People who stay in them become institutionalised and incapable of speaking about anything other than what nurse brought what drug at what time.</p>
<p>“Boredom turns them into bores.</p>
<p>“And when they get out, as I have, and there is nothing to do for two whole months apart from get better, things are even worse, because all I can talk about is my illness.”</i></p>
<p>Clarkson announced news of his illness last week, posting on Drive Tribe he would be “out of action for quite some time”.</p>
<p><i>“It’s really really annoying because I’ve never had one day off work since I started in 1978,”</i> he added.</p>
<p>The illness comes two months after his co-host Richard Hammond was airlifted to hospital when his car crashed while filming The Grand Tour.</p>
