Freddie Flintoff 'secures new series' on the BBC following the cricketer's horror Top Gear car crash


The former cricketer, 46, was involved in a near-fatal crash that left him with serious injuries while filming the driving show in December 2022.

The BBC announced in October 2022 that the series would be commissioned for a sequel however there were no updates after Freddie's crash - however earlier this month he was seen filming for the show in India. Freddie was driving a Morgan Super 3- a lightweight 'trackday' sports car with two wheels at the front and one at the back - at the Dunsfold test track near Guildford, Surrey on December 13, 2022, when it overturned. Several members of staff who witnessed it were signed off sick, having reportedly been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder - a claim the BBC has denied.
