Richard Hammond's production company Hamster's Wheel Productions has been put into voluntary liquidation, according to Companies House filings. The 56-year-old television presenter founded the company in 2008 with his then wife Mindy Hammond.

According to a Declaration of Solvency document published last week, the firm has £2.3 million in cash and is owed £1.45 million. It is also able to recover £176,573 from the government for corporation tax payments. Hammond is set to share almost £4 million with Mindy from the company.

Hammond and his wife announced they were ending their marriage in 2025. Hammond initially moved out of the family's home near Ross-on-Wye after the split and spent time in rented accommodation before relocating to Wales. When announcing their divorce, the pair said they would remain a family. Hammond stated: 'Our marriage is coming to an 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.'
