Legendary ITV gameshow to return - hosted by former Top Gear star


Former cricketer and Top Gear star Freddie Flintoff is set to host a reboot of an iconic 80s game show after the tragic death of the original host in 2018

The former England cricket hero was filming for Top Gear at Dunsfold Park Aerodrome in Surrey when calamity hit. He sustained severe injuries after the Morgan Super 3 trike he was driving, along with a member of the film crew, flipped over and crashed into the track. A source spilled to The Sun concerning the ITV revamp: "Few would have predicted the move but it's a genius signing because Freddie has the same dry, Lancashire sense of humour and delivery as Jim."
