Freddie Flintoff, whose show, Field of Dreams, airs tonight (Sunday, September 7), has previously opened up about the impact of the horror car crash that left him with both physical and mental scars.
Cricket legend Freddie, 47, was involved in a crash while filming Top Gear back in 2022. The accident saw him sustain serious facial and rib injuries.

Freddie Flintoff on horror crash
Back in December 2022, Freddie was involved in a car crash while filming Top Gear. The star was driving the car at high speed when it flipped. He was dragged face down along the track for 50 meters and sustained several broken ribs.
The injury led to Freddie being airlifted to the hospital, before undergoing multiple operations for facial injuries.
Earlier this year, a documentary about his recovery aired on Disney+. In the documentary, Freddie admitted that he sometimes wished he hadn’t survived the crash.
“It’s hard,” he said. “After the accident I didn’t think I had it in me to get through. This sounds awful but part of me wishes I had been killed and wishes I had died. I didn’t want to kill myself but I was just not wishing, but I was thinking this would’ve been so much easier.”
