Richard Hammond was back on top form during a night out in London with his oldest daughter on Thursday evening.

The Grand Tour co-host, 47, was joined by 16-year old Isabella, the first of his two children with wife Amanda Etheridge, following an appearance at The Arts Club in Mayfair.

Offering a broad smile, Hammond appeared to have fully recovered from the motorcycle crash he was involved in while filming a sequence for his enormously popular Amazon Prime show in remote Mozambique, southern Africa.

In good company: Richard Hammond was back on top form during a night out in London with his oldest daughter Isabella on Thursday evening

The presenter was left unconscious in the middle of the road following the incident - 11-years after he was involved in a near-fatal 288mph collision while presenting Top Gear in 2006.

Hammond was enjoying a rare public appearance with his teenage daughter, who sported an on-trend padded jacket, striped dress and black leather ankle boots 

The presenter recently laughed off his second life-threatening crash the set of his new TV show saying, 'I think I just bounce, I'm lucky like that.'

On the mend: Offering a broad smile, Hammond appeared to have fully recovered from the motorcycle crash he was involved in while filming a sequence for his enormously popular Amazon Prime show in remote Mozambique, southern Africa 

Speaking in March at Advertising Week Europe, an industry extravaganza, he said: 'Can I make it quite clear for anyone that saw, the papers ran a story yesterday that I'd injured myself again. It was three weeks ago. 

'To be fair my mother sent me a text, she's a Brummie, and it was "Oh no tell me it's not true, tell me you're OK". Mother I saw you last night!'

To that, interviewer Richard Shea replied: 'Well she should know you have the strength of ten men. A little bike fall isn't going to hurt.'

'I think I just bounce, I'm lucky like that', Hammond replied.

He added: 'We are in production for the second season of The Grand Tour now. That's when I fell off a motorcycle two weeks ago filming at a piece for it. We'll be back on air in October this year.'

His co-star Jeremy Clarkson said of his horror motorbike crash: 'He really did hurt himself quite badly.' 

But when asked if he had gone to hospital, Clarkson said: 'We don't do hospitals.'

His father, Alan, said he spoke to his son on the phone yesterday morning with the TV presenter reassuring him he had fully recovering from the ordeal.

The 73-year-old told MailOnline: 'Richard called and he said everything is fine. He has fully recovered and is all okay.

'He does have a habit of getting involved in things like this, but then that is his job.' 

He added: 'I don't know all the full details but from what I have been told Richard was knocked out for quite some time. It was a nasty accident but he told me he has fully recovered.'

The accident is thought to have taken place within the last fortnight but he only told his parents to warn them it had been leaked to the media. 

Perilous: The presenter crashed in a remote part of Africa while filming the second series of Amazon's The Grand Tour

The star confirmed he fell off his motorcycle and banged his head but is 'fine' and reassured fans he wouldn't quit by saying: 'Life goes on'. 

In a blog post, he wrote: '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.'  

The three Grand Tour presenters flew to Mozambique a month ago for filming and the accident is expected to feature in the second series of the programme broadcast on Amazon Prime later this year.

His fellow presenters were said to be shaken when Hammond came off his bike in a remote part of the African country.

A source told The Sun: 'Richard was travelling quite fast when he came off. It caused instant horror on set. There was a lot of concern.

'If his injuries had been serious it wouldn't have been easy to get medical attention. It's very remote there and facilities are basic.'

In 2006 Hammond nearly died after crashing a jet powered car at 288 mph and slipped into a coma during an attempt to break the British land speed record for the BBC show.

He was driving a jet-powered Vampire dragster when the front-right tyre burst leading the vehicle to spin out of control during a stunt at Elvington airfield near York.

Hammond suffered serious head injuries and he was in hospital for five weeks before returning home to his wife Mindy and their two daughters, Isabella and Willow.

The TV presenter, nicknamed 'Hamster', later told how he struggled 'mortally with depression' and spoke regularly to a psychiatrist following the incident. 

Despite the brush with death it did not put Hammond off from taking part in other hair raising stunts for Top Gear.
