After suffering injuries in a horrific incident, Freddie Flintoff’s career on Top Gear is in jeopardy.
Following the December tragedy at the show’s test track at Dunsfold Aerodrome in Surrey, the 45-year-old cricketer is reported to be considering quitting as presenter.
After the tragedy, the father-of-four was evacuated to a hospital for medical care, and his son, Corey, 16, subsequently said he was ‘fortunate to be alive.’
His buddy and fellow presenter Piers Morgan also revealed at the time he had been in a ‘very catastrophic crash’ and suffered a ‘quite brutal bang’.
‘I’m told he’s going to be OK which is great news,’ he told talkSPORT, adding: ‘He’s had surgery and is recovering now and we’ll have to wait and see.’
Friends of Flintoff have indicated that he is reconsidering his return to the BBC motoring series, which was previously anchored by Jeremy Clarkson.

The Times reports that his pals have said the crash left him ‘psychologically traumatised,’ leaving him uncertain about resuming the gig.
Both the BBC and the Health and Safety Executive initiated investigations into the event last year.
A Top Gear representative acknowledged the accident was being investigated in December, but emphasised that all necessary measures had been taken.
‘Our major concern is and has been for the welfare of Freddie – as well as the Top Gear team,’ said a statement. On-site, all health and safety procedures were followed, and the event is currently being thoroughly investigated in accordance with established policy and practise.
Flintoff’s mishap in December was not his first since beginning production on the show.
The presenter was engaged in a small mishap in February 2019 when he slammed into a market stall in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire.
In September of the same year, he crashed again while driving a three-wheel vehicle at a claimed speed of 124mph at Elvington Airfield in Yorkshire for Top Gear filming, but walked away unscathed.
Former Top Gear host Richard Hammond was in a coma after a catastrophic crash at the same airstrip in 2006.
