FREDDIE FLINTOFF 'HOW I CHEATED DEATH'

THE LARRIKIN CRICKETER REFLECTS ON LIFE AFTER A HORROR ACCIDENT

- 

When Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff realised the open-topped, three-wheeled vehicle he was speeding in, while filming a stunt for Top Gear, was about to roll, he faced several terrifying choices.

“As I started going over, I looked at the ground and I knew that if I get hit on the side of my head, I'll break my neck,” Freddie, 47, recounts, in his shocking new Disney+ documentary, Flintoff.

“If I get hit on the temple, I’m dead. I knew then that my best chance was to go face down.”

The knockabout English cricketing superstar and TV host – who also won the first Australian season of I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in 2015 – was lucky to survive the accident at Dunsfold Park Aerodrome in the UK on December 13, 2022.

But the accident has left the dad of four with life-changing injuries, both physically and mentally.
