Top Gear star: I told BBC one of us could die

The TV host and former England cricketer, 46, was badly hurt in an accident while filming at Dunsfold aerodrome in December 2022, which led to the show being taken off air for the "foreseeable future".

Speaking about the crash on podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, Harris, 49, said: "I ran to the window, looked out, and he (Flintoff) wasn't moving.

"So I thought he was dead. I assumed he was, then he moved."
