Richard Hammond thinks Top Gear will make a sensational return to TV.
The car show was shelved by the BBC last year after presenter Freddie Flintoff, 46, was injured while filming an episode. But former star Richard, 54, thinks it won’t be long before the format is revived.
He said: “I have no doubt Top Gear will come back, probably quite soon. It’s been on air before, then it’s come off and they rest it a bit and then they brought it back.

“That’ll happen again. It’s not the end. It’s a BBC brand.”
Richard helped make Top Gear an amazing success when he fronted it with Jeremy Clarkson, 63, and James May, 61, from 2002 to 2015 as fans loved their banter and big stunts. But he thinks the new era will be different.
Richard, who was hurt in crashes during Top Gear and their subsequent show The Grand Tour, added: “I think when it comes back, it’ll have a different slant. During our stewardship, it grew into what it was.

“But it wasn’t that before and it doesn’t have to be again.” Richard is back on TV with Jeremy and James this week with a new episode of The Grand Tour, which will stream on Prime Video from Friday.
