    Richard Hammond’s daughter calls her dad an ‘idiot’ as she reflects on his terrifying crashes and admits ‘he was never really there growing up’ as presenter announces split from wife of 28 years

    Richard Hammond’s daughter Izzy has admitted her dad is an ‘idiot’ as she reflected on the nature of his job and his terrifying crashes over the years. 

    The content creator, 24, confessed despite her dad not being around a lot during her childhood, some of her best memories have been with him. 

    Joking about messing around in cars with the presenter, she confessed on a recent podcast: ‘We’ve done handbrake turns around roundabouts, sorry I know that’s incredibly illegal you might have to cut that out. He’s an idiot’. 

    Appearing on Ben Fowler’s podcast Road To Success just days before the news of Richard and his wife Mindy’s split, the host asked Izzy: ‘Would you call him a little bit idiot or a daredevil? Where’s the line?’ 

    ‘Idiot,’ she confirmed before explaining: ‘He has that thing that racing drivers have where they just don’t have the fear. Everyone has that line where it’s like “okay I know where the line is”, he just doesn’t have that.’ 

    ‘He really genuinely would just go and go and go.’

    In 2006 the presenter, now 55, suffered life-threatening head injuries and was in a coma following a high-speed crash during filming for the hit BBC show. 

    Then later in 2017, Mindy publicly warned her husband that he would have to quit TV if he crashed his car badly again – after he was involved in a second high-speed crash. 

    Discussing how her father wasn’t always around for her and her sister Willow, 22, she added: ‘I always think it must be frustrating for my mom because probably some of my happiest memories are ironically with my dad because he wasn’t there that much because he was filming. 

    ‘He wasn’t there a lot and that’s all I really knew growing up.’

    She explained that some work trips meant he was gone for over a month adding: ‘I mean I’m not this is sounding like I had some awful childhood I really didn’t at all.

    ‘I think my parents were really good at navigating because they had no idea what was going to happen.

    ‘But they were very good at sort of drip feeding information so we’d know a bit what he was doing but not enough to worry us because most of the time they were doing stupid stuff that we really shouldn’t know about.’

    Mindy previously said she had warned Richard about his reckless behaviour, saying to him: ‘I did say three strikes and you’re out. You’ve had two goes.’

    She admitted: 'He has that thing that racing drivers have where they just don't have the fear. Everyone has that line where it's like "okay I know where the line is", he just doesn't have that' (pictured Richard's 2006 Top Gear crash)

    Appearing on ITV’s This Morning, Mindy said: ‘He has one of these every ten years so I’ve marked the next one in my diary.’

    Richard has repeatedly apologised to his wife and two daughters for putting them through more trauma.

    Mindy said: ‘I’ve got teenage daughters and a nine-year-old man’.

    Meanwhile Izzy also opened up on the impact of her dad’s terrifying Top Gear crash as she explained he could ‘barely function, let alone be a father’. 

    Izzy was just seven-years-old at the time, however in a recent podcast, released just days before Richard and his wife Mindy announced their split, she spoke candidly about how the incident affected the family and left him ‘doolally’. 

    She explained: ‘Obviously the crash affected all of us in varying different ways.

    ‘I think I was seven and it was more the recovery I think that really was the thing that affected us as a family because he was absolutely doolally for months and months afterwards. 

    ‘He was just not with it at all and so I just have a lot of gaps in memory of him as a dad because for a long time he
    was barely a human, like he could barely function and was trying to relearn how to be a human being let alone be a father figure.’

    At the time Mindy flew to be at her husband’s bedside after he careered off the Swiss hillside after Richard was left in a coma for two weeks following the accident. 

    On Friday MailOnline revealed that Richard’s wife Mindy ended their marriage months ago.

    The former Top Gear star had been desperately trying to save his 28-year marriage until very recently, but the couple publicly announced they were splitting for good on Thursday.

    Their shock split comes amid claims from insiders that Richard has become increasingly harder to live with in recent years due to injuries sustained in two near-fatal car crashes. 

    Mindy previously warned Richard was on his ‘last chance’, eight years before the couple announced their marriage was over. 

    An insider told the Mail: ‘Richard has been through an awful lot and the knock-on effect from the crashes has impacted his relationship.

    ‘It’s understandable given the sheer magnitude of the accidents and the impact caused both physically and mentally, he’s done so well to recover and get back to normal life.

    ‘But they have changed him, there’s no getting away from it, and his relationship with Mindy has been harmed during the fallout.’ 

    He endured a second brush with death after his £2million Rimac supercar careered off a hill and burst into flames as he raced at high speed through rural Switzerland in 2017

    Richard’s representatives declined to comment when contacted by MailOnline.

    In the wake of their split, Richard was said to have been banished to his converted barn where he stored his motorbikes, but has now moved to a rented property in a nearby village where he runs his ‘Smallest Cog’ car-restoration garage.

    Richard married Mindy in 2002 after they first met back in 1995, with the presenter previously sharing that there was an instant attraction between them.
