The BBC confirmed the accident occurred on Tuesday morning while filming at Dunsfold Aerodrome in Surrey.

Tuesday’s accident isn’t the first to blight Flintoff since he began presenting the much-loved show. On March 5, 2005, he married Rachael Wools Flintoff at the Pavilion Road Hotel in Knightsbridge, London. In 2010, Flintoff joined Sky One’s sport comedy panel, A League of Their Own, as a team captain. Sadly, by 2010, Flintoff’s body could no longer take the strain of the sport, and he retired. He did well in school and gained nine GCSEs before leaving at 16. The World Cup is perhaps best remembered for an embarrassing photograph showing Flintoff falling from a pedalo after a late-night drinking binge.
