London — Television personality Jeremy Clarkson has announced he won't be returning to work any time soon after being hospitalised with pneumonia while vacationing in Mallorca.
The Grand Tour motoring show says Clarkson was hospitalised on Friday while on a break in Spain. Clarkson posted an image on social media on Saturday showing his arm with a hospital identity badge.
The 57-year-old quipped: "not the sort of bangles I usually choose on holiday."
