Paddy McGuinness believes he should have received a pay out from the BBC when Top Gear was canned following his co-star Freddie Flintoff's terrifying crash


The television presenter, who joined the show in 2019, complained to friends that he believed that like Flintoff - who was seriously injured from the incident - he should have been given cash.

Paddy, 51, spent three years working alongside Freddie and Chris Harris when in 2022 the former England cricket star was left with horrific injuries after the open-top car he was testing flipped over and slipped along the track at the Dunsfold Park Aerodrome in Surrey. The cricketing superstar turned television presenter, 47, was left with horrific injuries after the car he was testing on the BBC motoring show flipped over at the Dunsfold Aerodrome in Surrey over two years ago. Alongside motoring journalist Chris Harris and comedian Paddy, Flintoff had fronted Top Gear since 2019, guiding the show back to success following a period of turmoil after its star presenters were sacked and quit in 2015.
