Hammond reveals forgotten marriage

Richard Hammond has told Jonathan Ross that he forgot he was married after his car crash last year.

The Top Gear presenter, who was involved in a 288mph jet-car accident at Elvington Airfield last September, revealed that the crash left him with only a "22-second memory".

Speaking on tonight's Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, Hammond said: "I didn't forget Mindy, I fancied her - thank God - I attempted to chat her up.

"It was frightening, a real lesson for me... [Brain] Damage can mend, it's a big bowl of porridge that revives itself if you're very lucky... which I was."

The TV star's wife Amanda added: "He said 'You're lovely, but I've got to stop talking to you because I've got to go back to my wife, she's French'."
