Chris Harris vows to 'remember the good times' on Top Gear

Chris Harris has vowed to "remember the good times" on 'Top Gear' after the show was shelved.

The TV star presented the motoring series alongside Paddy McGuinness and Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff, but BBC bosses recently confirmed the show will be "rested" for the "foreseeable future" after the former cricketer was seriously injured in an accident while filming a stunt last year - and Chris has now insisted he plans to look back on his happy memories.

In a post on Instagram, he shared a picture of the three presenters sitting in a car together and laughing and wrote: "How I’ll remember my time on Top Gear. Hundreds of hours laughing. There’s much to be said on how/why/what in the future. But for now, I’ll remember the good times.

"Look after people and, sometimes, they’ll look after you."

Freddie, 45, had been driving at 124mph at the 'Top Gear' test track at Dunsfold Aerodrome in Surrey, South East England in December 2022 when he crashed and the accident left the sports star with several broken ribs and severe facial injuries.

Following the horror crash, the BBC stated that continuing production on 'Top Gear' would be "inappropriate" and a full health and safety review would be carried out.

The England cricketer later reached a settlement with the BBC of an estimated £9 million over the accident.

Confirming Top Gear's future, the BBC said in a statement: "Given the exceptional circumstances, the BBC has decided to rest the UK show for the foreseeable future.

“The BBC remains committed to Freddie, Chris and Paddy who have been at the heart of the show’s renaissance since 2019, and we’re excited about new projects being developed with each of them.

“We will have more to say in the near future on this. We know resting the show will be disappointing news for fans, but it is the right thing to do.

“All other 'Top Gear' activity remains unaffected by this hiatus including international formats, digital, magazines and licensing.”

The UK show is currently sold to more 150 territories and there are 11 local format versions including in France, America and Finland.
