Hertfordshire: So, Richard Hammond had a bit of a rough day. He accidentally locked himself out of his house and tried to break in with a brick. Can you imagine? The guy was almost in tears!
He’s been going through a lot lately, having recently separated from his wife, Mindy. They used to live in this fancy £7 million place called Bollitree Castle, but now he’s moved to a smaller spot in a nearby village.
Things took a turn when he was getting ready for a trip to the Lake District. In his latest YouTube video, he joked about being late because he locked himself out. He said he took the kitchen bin out and somehow got stuck outside.
Richard was in his Crocs and dressing gown, totally unprepared. No phone, no keys—just him and a locked door. He felt a bit panicky and even thought about crying, but then he figured that wouldn’t help.
He tried to smash a window with a brick, but it just bounced off. In the end, he had to call a locksmith, who got him back inside in no time. Richard laughed it off, saying he didn’t know how burglars did it for a living.
On a more serious note, he shared a heartfelt message about his split from Mindy. They’ve been together for 28 years and have two daughters. He emphasized that they’ll always be a family, just in a different way now.
It’s a tough situation, but Richard seems to be handling it with humor, even if it means getting locked out of his own house!
