Andrew Flintoff shared a picture of his healed face to mark the announcement of his forthcoming Disney+ documentary.
Flintoff – better known by his nickname Freddie – was seriously injured in a motoring accident in 2022, during filming of the BBC car show Top Gear.
The former England cricketer crashed in a Morgan Super 3 car, and was left with severe facial injuries as well as broken ribs.
Filming on the long-running show – whose previous hosts include Jeremy Clarkson and his Grand Tour castmates James May and Richard Hammond – was immediately suspended, and it has since been reported that there are no plans to reboot the programme.

Now, Flintoff will explore the ramifications of his accident in a Disney+ documentary titled Flintoff, to premiere in the UK and Ireland on April 25.
Publicising the film, the TV presenter said:
“Cricket’s always been a massive part of my life, shaping who I am.
“Looking back on the highs and the lows, including the challenges I’ve faced since my accident, has been a real reminder of why my career in the sport has meant so much.”
Flintoff returned to screen last year for the second series of Field of Dreams, following his experiences taking a group of schoolboys and inspiring them with a series of cricket tutorials. The second series saw the group travel to India, and included Flintoff opening up for the first time about his accident.
The BBC made an apology to Flintoff following the crash, and it was later reported that he settled for £11million in damages. He reported suffering nightmares and flashbacks after the accident, which saw him trapped in his car for 45 minutes before being rescued.
