Cricketing legend Freddie Flintoff has been pictured as he prepares for a TV comeback following his Top Gear horror crash.
The former England international suffered serious injuries when he crashed at the Dunsfold Park Aerodome while filming the BBC show in December 2022. He opted not to show how serious his facial injuries were following the incident and stepped back from public life while he recovered, Lancs Live reports.
Now more than a year on, Flintoff, 46, is seemingly ready to step back into the spotlight - with the dad-of-four getting back in front of the camera as he returns to his roots and works in the cricket world once again. In a new snap, Freddie's face seems to have almost healed from the horrific crash.

The insider also said: "It's obvious that there is some scarring, which everyone expected, but Freddie looks to have made huge progress since he was last seen in public playing
