Top Gear host Freddie Flintoff will not be on TV screens until at least 2024 as he recovers from a devastating crash that took place while filming the hit BBC motoring show.
The 45-year-old cricket star and TV presenter was airlifted to hospital with facial injuries and broken ribs after the crash on December 13 last year.
He had been driving an open-topped three-wheel 130mph Morgan Super 3 car when he crashed. It was later said he was 'lucky to be alive' following the incident.
