A business owned by Richard Hammond has been put into liquidation.
The 56-year-old, who was educated at Ripon Grammar School and Harrogate College, rose to fame for his work with Jeremy Clarkson and James May on Top Gear and the Grand Tour.
In 2008, he founded Hamster's Wheel Productions with his then wife Mindy Hammond.

However, Mr Hammond and his wife announced they were ending their marriage in 2025.
According to reports, Mr Hammond initially moved out of the family's home near Ross-on-Wye after the split and spent time living in rented accommodation before beginning a new chapter of his life in Wales.
When announcing their divorce, the pair stressed they would remain a family.
Mr Hammond said at the time: "A little update from us; this Christmas we were together as a family, and this year we will still be a family but just structured a bit differently.
"Our marriage is coming to an end, but we've had an amazing 28 years together and two incredible daughters.
"We will always be in each other's lives and are proud of the family we created. With Love, Richard and Mindy."
Now though the pair's company has been put into voluntary liquidation, according to Companies House filings.
A Declaration of Solvency document, published last week on Companies House, reveals that the firm has £2.3 million in cash and is owed £1.45 million.
In addition it is able to recover £176,573 from the government for corporation tax payments.
The former Top Gear and Grand Tour star is set to share almost £4 million with his former wife Mindy from the company.
In August, it emerged that Mr Hammond was fined £999 for speeding offences at the end of 2025, around the same time he took control of the firm.
The TV star was at the wheel of a Porsche when he broke the speed limit on December 2 last year before he was caught out again just 20 days later while driving a Bentley.
West Mercia Police brought two prosecutions against Mr Hammond, putting forward the speed camera images of him driving the cars in Herefordshire to prove the offences.
Mr Hammond was involved in a serious crash near York while filming for Top Gear in 2006 at RAF Elvington airfield.
He was travelling at about 288mph during a land speed record attempt when he crashed. He suffered serious injuries and spent two weeks in a coma.
Yorkshire Air Ambulance airlifted him to hospital, and he later returned to Top Gear in 2007.
