The Grand Tour trio have worked together for 23 years since landing their Top Gear gig
Richard Hammond confessed that he "burst into tears" throughout his time working with television colleagues Jeremy Clarkson and James May.
He explained to hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard: "It is final. We've done it. We always wanted to land it on our own terms; it took off when we started on Top Gear together 23 years ago, and it went berserk. We didn't know it was gonna do that!" He added: "I was working in tiny TV and radio until Top Gear, and it was Andy Wilman and Jeremy who gave me the gig. I'll be forever grateful to them for that. And only then did I find myself going to London. So little things like getting the taxi here, and the lady doing my make-up..." reports the Mirror.
The celebrity shared an emotional moment from the past: "When I got the job, they rang and said, 'Do you want to join the team?' I'll be honest I burst into tears. I said, 'Are you sure, me?'"
