In his column with The Sun, Jeremy revealed he went to the loo but got the shock of his life.

“I looked back to see what I’d produced and damn near had a heart attack.”

He went onto explain that the “whole bowl was stained blood red,” and said to himself, “Well that’s it, I’ve got bottom cancer.”

It was then he remembered the beetroot and put two and two together.

“I swear to God that stuff should come with a health warning, advising people that it will make your number twos the colour of Marilyn Monroe’s lips,” he joked.

Jeremy is never far away from controversy.

Earlier this year, Piers Morgan has announced that the “four-year ceasefire” in his long-running feud with Jeremy had been breached thanks to a jibe the presenter made about him on Who Wants To Be Millionaire?

In a column for the Mail On Sunday’s Eventmagazine, the Good Morning Britain host wryly admitted the pair have been enjoying a form of “simmering peace” in recent years.

Piers admitted the comment has made his blood boil – even though he only found out about it via Twitter, joking that he “doesn’t watch anything Clarkson does – on medical advice”.
