Former ‘Top Gear’ Host Andrew Flintoff Reveals “Nightmares” & “Flashbacks” After High-Speed Crash That Ended Show’s Run On The BBC


Andrew Flintoff, ex 'Top Gear' host, has discussed the crash that gave him "nightmares" before the second season of 'Field of Dreams' launches

Former Top Gear host Andrew Flintoff has opened up about the high-speed crash that has transformed his life, saying: “I shouldn’t be here.” Flintoff, a previously affable England cricketing hero nicknamed ‘Freddie’, sustained serious facial injuries in the crash while filming Top Gear in December 2022, immediately putting the show on pause – a series that down the years had seen other controversies including a similar crash for ex-host Richard Hammond, and another former host, Jeremy Clarkson, punching a producer. In the comments, which can be seen next week when the show launches, he tells friend Kyle Hogg that he had to undergo a number of operations on his face and was rarely leaving home at the time.
