Rumours have swirled on social media with fans speculating that Clarkson has been using the drug that’s only approved for diabetes treatment in Australia.

Clarkson has now decided to reveal she did not use the drug, but admitted she did use another form of drug to help her journey.

While chatting with Whoopi Goldberg on Monday, Clarkson revealed doctors had prescribed her with a weight loss medication after a blood test. While stopping short of naming the drug she used, Clarkson denied any taking of Ozempic.
