Richard Hammond and his wife, Amanda “Mindy” Hammond, have announced their split after an “amazing 28 years together”.
Hammond, known for motoring shows Top Gear and The Grand Tour, shared a statement on his X account from him and his wife, who he married in 2002.
The couple said: “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.
“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.”
Wife Mindy is asking to keep the £7million Bollitree Castle estate as part of their split settlement, a close source revealed.
Hammond, worth around £70million, has moved out of the Herefordshire pile and is currently staying in rented digs in a pretty village nearby.
The ex-Top Gear presenter, 55, had been kipping in a converted barn at the mock medieval castle where the couple, who have been married for 23 years, keep a stable of thoroughbred horses.
But a source said newspaper columnist Mindy “wanted him gone”.
They added: “Richard is very upset about all this. It seems he has tried hard to rekindle the relationship but to no avail.
“There is no speculation that any third party is involved.”
The Sun understands that Hammond, nicknamed Hamster by former co-presenters Jeremy Clarkson and James May, has been staying in a rented property a short drive from Hereford where he runs his ‘Smallest Cog’ car restoration garage.
The couple bought the grade II listed Bollitree Castle in 2008. It boasts six bedrooms, a swimming pool and 20 acres of land.
Their daughter Izzy, 24, still lives at the estate near Ross-on-Wye and works alongside her dad at his garage and filming podcasts.
The couple’s other daughter Willow, 22, is a keen horsewoman and lives separately in a rented home in Gloucestershire, the source revealed.
As part of the divorce settlement, Mindy is proposing Richard keeps their holiday home in Buttermere in the Lake District, and his flat in London.
But she is said to have asked for a share in their horses, and an annual stipend of £500,000.
Mindy has also asked for a half share in his businesses; including the Smallest Cog and their TV production company Chimp Productions, of which she is a director.
Hammond is said to be worth around £35million.
His car collection includes a Ford Mustang, Porsche, Lotus Esprit Sport and a 1931 Lagona, as well as a Bentley.
He recently bought a £170,000 convertible Porsche 911 Turbo S with the personal plate DICK H which he shows off in his social media videos.
Hammond found fame on local radio before landing the plum job on Top Gear and going on to present The Grand Tour on Amazon for a reported £7million salary.
He also presented Brainiac and Total Wipeout.
In 2006 he miraculously survived a 288mph crash in a jet-powered car while filming a segment for Top Gear.
A MAN was left shocked at the passive aggressive note his neighbour left for him on his van, despite it being parked in a legal spot.
The angry driver posted a photo of the handwritten letter online – and shared how it was the third neighbour who had complained about his vehicle.
TikTok user @seannd17 wrote: “New year, same issues.
“This is the third neighbour who has complained about my completely legally parked van.
“I get it, it may not look the prettiest outside your house, but I just park where I can, I am not intending to upset people.”
He then posted a photo of the note which he found on his front window screen.
It read: “Please may you move the van outside our house.
“We have really struggled over Christmas, we have a large amount of guests over Saturday night and really need the space.”
The man’s post has clearly struck a chord with internet users, as it has racked up over 1,000 comments.
Many people took the side of the neighbour and said he should consider a different spot.
One wrote: “Could you not park it outside your own place?”
Another added: “that really isn’t an unreasonable request.”
However, the man replied: “It’s the 3rd neighbour to tell me to move it, so where else can I go?
“Always try to park outside mine but it’s not always possible.”
Other people said he was completely in the right if it is a legal spot.
One wrote: “Start leaving notes on cars that park outside the front of your house asking them to move.”
A second commented: “Public road, tax mot and insured. Leave it there.”
A third said: “If it’s on the street absolutely nothing they can do and you are full entitled to park there.”
According to Law Hive: “If the space in front of your house is on private property, such as a driveway, you can enforce parking restrictions.
One study by Compare the Market revealed the top reason British neighbour's argue
“However, if the space is on a public road, you can’t reserve it for your exclusive use, even if it’s directly outside your property.
“This means that, generally, anyone can park there as long as they follow local parking regulations and restrictions.”
They said that if a vehicle is blocking your driveway by parking across a dropped curb, this is illegal and can be reported.
They advised that neighbours speak politely – as the note writer did – to people legally parked if they cause an inconvenience.
They added: “However, it’s important to note that any request not to park in front of your house on a public road is a courtesy and not a legal requirement.”
LUTON TOWN have axed manager Rob Edwards amid the threat of back-to-back relegations.
Edwards, 42, led the Hatters to the Premier League during his first season in charge.
They dropped back to the Championship this term despite a brave battle.
But Luton have been unable to build on their recent success and are now at risk of ending up back in League One.
Confirming the manager’s departure, a statement read: “Luton Town Football Club can confirm that Rob Edwards has left his role as manager by mutual agreement.”
It continued: “We could have not wished for a better man to understand what it takes to be manager of Luton Town, one who acted as an ambassador for the club and community in the glare of the world’s media spotlight.
“We enjoyed the highs of Goodison Park and that maiden Premier League win, the demolition of Brighton under the Kenilworth Road lights and the part the Town played in the 4-4 classic at Newcastle after also taking a point, and so very nearly all three, off Liverpool as the battle against relegation went right to the final day.
“The current campaign back in the Championship has clearly not progressed as anticipated, and after holding amicable talks following Monday’s defeat at QPR, the board and Rob have agreed to part with immediate effect.
“While the process to appoint a new manager is already underway, Paul Trollope and Richie Kyle, aided by Mick Harford, will take charge of the squad for Saturday’s FA Cup third round tie at Nottingham Forest.”
Edwards has won just seven of his 26 matches in the current campaign, leaving the Hatters 20th in the table and just two points above the drop zone.
FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS
Monday’s 2-1 defeat at QPR was their fourth loss on the bounce.
And Luton have now parted ways with Edwards just 26 months after bringing him to Kenilworth Road.
Speaking after Luton’s defeat to QPR this week, Edwards admitted he was feeling the pressure in the dugout.
He said: “Every week on the road we seem to be getting hit and hit and hit.
“Things have gone against us recently.
“It just seems the footballing gods are against us.
“But results are not good enough.
“The players are giving everything but we are in a results business.”
Reflecting on Edwards’ time at the club, Luton CEO Gary Sweet said: “As with all decisions to part company with a manager, this has been a tough decision to arrive at, together with Rob, who has conducted himself with great professionalism and dignity throughout his two years at the Club, and again this week as we have genuinely come to a mutual conclusion.
“Rob has given us some of our greatest days to celebrate as Hatters. Those two barnstorming derby victories at Kenilworth Road, the play-off final at Wembley and our season in the Premier League will live with us forever and in doing so Rob has earned himself a legendary status.
“Results this season, especially away from home, have clearly not been acceptable and while we have supported Rob and his team in every possible way, we all felt that action was required to rectify this with 20 league matches still to play.
“It is typical of Rob’s humility that he also recognised this himself and leaves not just as a former manager, but as a trusted friend who has left his mark on every player and member of staff.
“Rob and his family will always be welcome visitors to Kenilworth Road. The door is always open. On behalf of the board, I would like to give him our heartfelt thanks for two years of tireless work and so many memories, wishing him every success for his future career.”
