Top Gear presenter, Andrew “Freddie” Flintoff, has hinted he could speak about his ‘life-changing’ car crash.

The Lancashire-born former England cricketer was badly hurt after a 130mph crash in Dunsfold Aerodrome in December 2022.

Flintoff was driving an open-topped car before it flipped and skidded causing him facial injuries and broken ribs, resulting in the presenter being airlifted to hospital.

Recently, in a trailer for ‘Freddie Flintoff’s Field Of Dreams On Tour’, a visibly-scarred Flintoff said: “something happened that’s changed my life forever.”

A narrator in the trailer then adds, “This is the story of the most unlikely cricket tour that almost didn’t happen.”

Field Of Dreams On Tour follows on from the first series in 2022 in which Flintoff moulded a group of unlikely teenagers from Preston into a cricket team.

This time they are touring India.

His Bolton-born co-presenter, Paddy McGuinness, said at the start of 2024 that Flintoff is a “very resilient character” in a show of support for the former sportsman.

McGuinness added that the presenter is “getting on with it”.

Since the incident Flintoff received a £9million pay-out in compensation from the BBC according to The Sun.

In November, the BBC announced that Top Gear would be rested for the “foreseeable future” following Flintoff’s accident.

In May 2024, McGuinness and the show’s third presenter Chris Harris announced they’ll be fronting a new show called Road Trippin, which will follow the pair travelling across the Europe, during Top Gear’s forced hiatus.

Flintoff started presenting Top Gear in 2019 and has also appeared on Sky’s A League Of Their Own, and won the first series of the Australian version of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.

Field Of Dreams On Tour is coming this summer to BBC iPlayer and BBC One.
