Jeremy Clarkson’s daughter Emily has revealed she has had six screws removed from her jaw following extensive surgery last year.
The 27-year-old journalist and author had to have her mouth wired shut after suffering two slipped discs in her jaw in 2021.
She said having her jawbone broken by doctors was her “only option” after it started to block her airway.
Following another operation this week, Emily took to Instagram to give her 244,000 followers an update as she recovered.
Posting a fed up looking photo of herself lying in bed holding an ice pack with bandages round her face, she said she was “relieved” it was all over.

She wrote: “Gorgeous gorgeous girls get their surgeries DONE!!
“So yesterday I had six of the screws and two of the plates that were holding my jaw together after it was broken last year removed and a bone graft done - I also had my brows done and eyelashes curled and tinted (different procedures at different places) and the effect today is stunning lol. Hahahha.”
Emily said her recovery this time round was “way better” but shared she was still in a “bunch of pain and also on a bunch of painkillers”.
She continued: “I am stuck very still in bed cos those pesky nose bleeds are back.
“Swelling isn’t too bad- looks like I’ve had a right hook to the eye and a s*** lip job and the bleeding gums are a bit sinister but we move.
“Also half my face is stuck so LOL that my right eye won’t close and that stupid melted smile hahaha. Got nurses Alex and Bua here and this is way better than last week’s covid cos I can have visitors (friends pls visit)!”
Emily said that for now she is on a strictly liquid diet but joked after all the surgeries she had had she was now getting “so good at it”.
She added: “So relieved it’s over- I’ve been dealing with pain for a long time since the op and have found it really hard when working out/being in the cold/talking too much and those are legit the three corner stones of my personality and the fact that the surgeon thinks he’s found and fixed all the things that have caused pain is just JOY.
“The procedure was horrible I actually won’t lie about that but it’s done and every day is a day closer to getting my life back and honestly BRING IT BITCHES. Buckle up.
“Cos there’s something about jaw surgery recovery that really sees my content level up lol.”
Emily is the daughter of The Grand Tour star Jeremy Clarkson and his ex-wife Frances Cain. The couple divorced in 2014 but share three children; Emily, Katya and Finlo.
