Andrew Flintoff has revealed his struggle with anxiety, nightmares and flashbacks following the high-speed car accident which he says "changed my life forever".
"I am what I am now. I'm different to what I was. It's something I will have to deal with for the rest of my life. Better? No, different." The crash occurred 12 weeks before the tour was scheduled to take place. In the documentary, Flintoff is shown a week and a half after the accident in footage he shot himself on his phone. It reveals the initial extent of his facial injuries.
By that stage, Flintoff had undergone a number of operations on his face and rarely left his home. When he did it was with a "full face mask and glasses"."I thought I could just shake it off," said Flintoff. "I wanted to shake it off and say 'everything's all right', but it's not been the case.
