Freddie Flintoff 'set to host Christmas special revival of beloved 1980s British gameshow' in first TV signing since horror Top Gear crash
The cricketing legend, 46, will take over the reins hosting the darts-themed show from the late comedian Jim Bowen, who famously presented the series during its initial run from 1981 until 1995.
The British gameshow saw contestants competing in darts games and quizzes to win cash and prizes and featured an animated anthropomorphic bull named Bully as the mascot. Filming on Top Gear was suspended and the future of the show - which he co-hosted alongside comedian Paddy McGuinness and Chris Harris- remains in question after it was put on indefinite hiatus last November.
