McGuinness, 46, was driving a red Lamborghini Diablo when it left the B6255 near Ribblehead and came to rest in a field at around 3pm.

He was unhurt but shaken. No other vehicles were involved.

The accident was attended by a police officer who was patrolling the road at the time. North Yorkshire Police were also monitoring the filming.

The BBC said the car had 'skidded' and come to an almost immediate stop.

It was travelling within the 60mph speed limit for the road.
