There were some tough times after the trio left Top Gear
Richard Hammond has revealed the extent of his and his family's financial worries after he left the BBC and Top Gear in 2015. The TV presenter, 53, was left with no income after a shock exit from the show after co-star Jeremy Clarkson was suspended and then axed for an "unprovoked physical attack" on producer Oisin Tymon.
In the Fuelling Around podcast, Hammond explained: "After we finished the show James had come over to stay with me for a few days. We'd gone to Kentucky Fried Chicken to get lunch for everyone with Izzy. "We got to the front of the queue, put our order in, and James typically said: 'Oh, oh, I'll pay Hammond' and I said 'no, no mate, I'll pay' and he said 'no, no, no I'll pay'.
Financial worries could be set to rear their head again for Hammond. He, alongside May and Clarkson, are facing uncertainty around their programme The Grand Tour, on Amazon Prime. Variety reported shows currently in the works are set to go ahead, but Clarkson will not be renewed for any future programmes past 2024 and his other series, Clarkson's Farm, will end with series three next year.
