Share:
It’s been two years since Freddie Flintoff was involved in a horrific crash while filming Top Gear, which has now been taken off air by the BBC. The 47-year-old has since returned to the world of TV for other programmes. On Sunday night he was at the helm of 1980s classic Bullseye’s Christmas special, which combined darts and quizzing.

Flintoff hosted the one night only comeback with darts iconic Luke Littler joining him as the celebrity guest. He was also in the second series of his show Field of Dreams earlier this year, where he mentors young budding cricketers and takes them on a trip to India.

The former professional cricketer was seen with healing facial injuries in the aftermath of the accident, which almost claimed his life in December 2022. The news of Top Gear being put to rest was confirmed after months of speculation surrounding the motoring show’s future, following the 130mph crash.

In addition to facial injuries, Flintoff also sustained broken ribs and has said in new comments that he ‘should not be here’ after the traumatic incident. In September 2023, he was seen in public for the first time since the crash with visible scars to his face and tape on his nose during England’s cricket one-day international match against New Zealand in Cardiff.
