Freddie Flintoff will not be back on TV with his BBC series Field of Dreams as he recovers from Top Gear car crash, according to reports.
The presenter, and former England cricketer, had originally planned to film a second series of the BBC show this spring but these plans have now reportedly been scrapped.
It's been reported the production crew have been alerted of the change with filming being postponed until the Top Gear presenter has recovered fully from the horror car crash he was involved in last December.
A show source said: “Freddie loved Field Of Dreams and was looking forward to filming a second series, but it is unlikely to film any time soon and won’t make it to air this year. The crew are looking for other work — the whole show centres around Freddie."
“The Top Gear incident was very serious, he is convalescing," the source told The Sun.
The first series saw Freddie form a cricket team of youngsters from his home city Preston with the aim of proving that the sport is not just for posh people.
More than 3.3 million viewers tuned in to see the team take on an elite private school and veterans.
Mirror contacted a representative for the BBC for comment.
The broadcaster axed production of the 34th series after Freddie and a crew member were left badly injured in an accident that took place during filming in December.
Freddie was injured while driving a Morgan Super 3 at the long-running car show's test track at Dunsfold Park Aerodrome in Surrey.
A spokesperson said: "Under the circumstances, we feel it would be inappropriate to resume making series 34.
“We understand this will be disappointing for fans, but it is the right thing to do, and we’ll make a judgment about how best to continue later this year.
“This has also impacted the production team, who we continue to support. Finally there will be a health and safety review of the show, in line with our procedures.”
The former England cricketer was given medical care before being taken to hospital for further treatment.
In a statement, the BBC said: "We have sincerely apologised to Freddie and will continue to support him with his recovery."
