TV presenter Richard Hammond and his wife have announced they are splitting up after an “amazing 28 years together”.
The 55-year-old, best known for hosting motoring shows Top Gear and The Grand Tour, tied the knot with newspaper columnist Amanda “Mindy” Hammond, 59, in 2002.
In a statement on Thursday, the pair said their family spent Christmas together but will go into the new year “a bit differently”.
“A little update from us; this Christmas we were together as a family and this year we will still be a family but just structured a bit differently,” the statement posted to X said.

“Our marriage is coming to end, but we’ve had an amazing 28 years together and two incredible daughters.
“We will always be in each other’s lives and are proud of the family we created.
“We won’t be commenting further and sincerely hope that our privacy and that of our children will be respected at this time. With Love, Richard and Mindy.”

The couple have two daughters, Izzy, 24, and Willow, 22.
Together with his eldest daughter, Hammond hosts the podcast Who We Are Now With Izzy & Richard, which returns for a third series this year.
His family have also appeared on his Discovery+ series Richard Hammond’s Workshop, about him starting a restoration business in Herefordshire.

Hammond was supported by his wife in 2006 following a high-speed crash on Top Gear which left him with serious injuries.
He then appeared alongside colleagues Jeremy Clarkson and James May for the final episode of Amazon Prime show The Grand Tour, on September 13 last year, which saw the trio travel across Zimbabwe.
