ANDREW “Freddie” Flintoff has praised the “love and compassion” of NHS staff who cared for him after his car crash at a Top Gear test track.

The ex-cricketer visited hospital workers who looked after him in the aftermath of the accident, which he described as “the lowest I've ever been”.

In December 2022, Flintoff sustained severe injuries while filming at the Dunsfold Aerodrome in Surrey for an episode of BBC show Top Gear. His surgeon described Flintoff’s case as one of the most complex he has ever seen.

The former international cricketer was airlifted to St George's Hospital in Tooting a major trauma centre. “I just want to say a massive thank you to all the staff at St George’s,” Flintoff said.
