“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 TV present and columnist couple wrote.

“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 family live in an impressive mock castle out in Herefordshire and also have an apartment in London. It’s also rumoured that the TV host bought a large place in Oxfordshire.

Fans may remember the Hammonds adopted the official Top Gear dog back in the day, a labradoodle named TG, after it became clear it was afraid of cars.
