´óÏó´«Ã½

Richard Hammond has reassured fans that he is "fine" after falling off a motorbike while filming for The Grand Tour.

Hammond had been in Mozambique shooting the Amazon Prime show when he had the accident.

His co-star Jeremy Clarkson told The Sun newspaper that Hammond "hurt himself quite badly".

Hammond thanked fans on Monday for their concern and said there was no lasting damage.

he said: "It's true, I did fall off a motorbike whilst filming recently for The Grand Tour in Mozambique.

"I banged my head, yes, along with pretty much everything else apart from my left thumb, which remains un-bruised.

"Can't tell you more yet about the how and why of it; that's all for later in the year on the show.

"As for injuries; well put it this way, I don't think I can get a book out of it."

In an earlier post, he said "I'm fine" and described the accident as a "slight shunt", adding that he "fell off a bike, many times".

It is not known exactly when the incident happened but Clarkson about being in Mozambique in early March.

In 2006, Hammond suffered life-threatening head injuries following a high-speed crash as he filmed for the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s Top Gear.

The presenter was in a coma for a fortnight but made a full recovery.
