Richard Hammond says his ‘terrifying’ daughters were asked to be on Love Island

Richard Hammond has revealed that he thinks his two daughters were asked to appear on Love Island.

The 52-year-old TV star shares children Izzy, 21 and Willow, 19, with his wife Mindy - but he doesn't think they would do reality TV.

Whilst speaking to press to promote the latest special for The Grand Tour, A Scandi Flick, Richard said: " I can't stop my daughters doing anything they want to do, they're 21 and 19 and terrifying.

"If they want to do something they will do it, but I don't imagine they would want to, to be honest."

Asked if he thinks they would ever head to the infamous Spanish villa, Richard added: "I think they've been asked but I doubt it.

"That's for them to decide, but I'm not going to try and stop them."

And it seems Richard definitely isn't going to be donning sequins or partaking in Bushtucker Trials any time soon.

Asked if he would do reality TV himself, he replied: "I don't think I would want to do reality TV personally, I'm kind of boring I don't need to show the world that."

His comments come after he said he was “selfishly relieved” not to be the presenter facing calamity in the latest The Grand Tour special.

Instead, his co-host James May crashed into a tunnel wall in a horror smash which landed the 59-year-old in the hospital for a night, as his fellow petrolhead presenters drove off into the Scandinavian night.

May and Hammond are joined by Jeremy Clarkson for another high-octane edition of the hit Amazon Prime show, which this time sees the trio carousing across Scandinavia in a feature film-length episode that drops on the streaming platform later this month.

The trailer teases the underground tunnel drama, which sees the trio race their cars down a twisting corridor towards the frightening end point of a concrete wall.

In the episode, Clarkson goes first in the time trials and is visibly shaken as he drives at speed down the tunnel, with sensor lights that fail to come on in time and leave him driving down the narrow spindly route in pitch black darkness.
