Andrew “Freddie” Flintoff has agreed a settlement with BBC Studios after he sustained serious facial injuries in an accident while filming Top Gear last year.
BBC Studios, the BBC’s commercial arm, confirmed the deal on Friday but did not disclose the value of the payout. The Sun reported that it is worth £9M ($11M) to Flintoff.
BBC Studios said: “BBC Studios has reached an agreement with Freddie that we believe supports his continued rehabilitation, return to work and future plans. We have sincerely apologised to Freddie and will continue to support him with his recovery.”
Flintoff was involved in a crash at Top Gear‘s test track at Dunsfold Park Aerodrome in Surrey on December 13, 2022. The former England cricket star has since quit the BBC1 show, but has made several public appearances in recent weeks.
