The former England captain was hospitalised last December.
‘It’s just great for him to be around, he’s obviously an England legend and it’s just nice to have him around the group.‘A few of the lads can pick his brains a little bit and he’s settled in really well. It’s great to have him with us. Just for this series.’The injuries from Freddie’s Top Gear crash, which brought the filming of series 34 to a halt, appeared evident on his face.
A statement from BBC Studios earlier this year said it had ‘concluded its investigation into the accident at the Top Gear Test Track in Surrey last December, which regrettably injured presenter Freddie Flintoff’. It continued: ‘We have sincerely apologised to Freddie and will continue to support him with his recovery. Under the circumstances, we feel it would be inappropriate to resume making series 34 of Top Gear at this time.
‘We understand this will be disappointing for fans, but it is the right thing to do, and we’ll make a judgement about how best to continue later this year.Freddie ended his international career in 2009 after helping England to an Ashes series victory over Australia before he retired from all forms of the game in 2015.
He went on to launch a career in broadcasting, including featuring on Sky’s A League Of Their Own and BBC’s Top Gear.
