RICHARD Hammond popped up at Cheltenham this week alongside his wife Mindy and Carol Vorderman.

The 53-year-old – famous for fronting Top Gear from 2002 until 2015 – looked as youthful as ever.


The trio, who are all old friends, posted together in a snap from a dinner table at the famous racing festival.

Richard was seen waving with both hands alongside Mindy, 57, and Carol, 62.

The former Countdown star posted about her delight at meeting the pair describing them as "my old muckers".

Carol, who was in one of the many VIP areas, also rubbed shoulders with comedian Jack Whitehall and former athlete Brendan Foster.
