He has been off screens for 18 months, but now Freddie Flintoff is making his TV comeback after a near fatal crash while filming Top Gear.
On Tuesday (August 13), Freddie will front the second series of his documentary Field of Dreams On Tour.
The series sees Freddie – whose real name is Andrew – take a group of teenage boys from his hometown of Preston, who he taught to play cricket in the first series, on a tour of India.
But the tour almost never happened, and was postponed for a year after Freddie’s horror crash.

Freddie Flintoff in Top Gear crash
In December 2022, Freddie was filming an episode of Top Gear at Dunsfold Park Aerodrome in Surrey.
While driving the Morgan Super 3 trike, the car flipped and Freddie scraped his face along the tarmac, then had to wait 45 minutes before being airlifted to hospital.
He suffered broken ribs and facial injuries and wasn’t seen in public until September 2023, where his injuries were visible.
