Freddie Flintoff Parts Ways With BBC
3 Feb
Summary
- Field of Dreams show has been cancelled by the BBC.
- Flintoff is expected to announce new projects with ITV.
- A £9m settlement was reached with Flintoff over an accident.

Freddie Flintoff is reportedly concluding his tenure with the BBC, as his show "Field of Dreams" has been axed by the broadcaster after three seasons. The program, which focused on engaging working-class teenagers in cricket, received critical acclaim and an RTS award.
This development signals a potential new chapter for Flintoff, with reports suggesting upcoming projects with ITV. Flintoff had become an increasingly prominent face for the BBC, having appeared in "Top Gear" and "Chasing Cars."
The "Top Gear" role concluded after a severe accident in 2022, where Flintoff sustained broken ribs and facial injuries. This incident led to the show being paused and had a profound impact on his mental health, with the presenter revealing he wished he had died.
The BBC reached a £9 million settlement with Flintoff concerning the accident. While ITV has declined to comment, Flintoff has had prior involvements with the network, including a "Bullseye" revival and guest appearances on "The Masked Singer UK."
