Freddie Flintoff’s face injuries stem from a 2022 Top Gear crash during filming at Dunsfold Aerodrome. He later described fearing for his life as the car rolled and scraped against the ground, which left him with serious facial trauma, broken ribs, and, over time, permanent scarring. He has spoken publicly about the extent of the injuries and the reconstructive work involved. Key points:
- The incident occurred in December 2022 while filming Top Gear, when a Morgan three-wheeler overturned.
- He sustained facial injuries including damage to the nose, cheek, and lip, and lost several teeth; he also fractured his upper jaw and ribs.
- The aftermath required reconstructive surgery and has contributed to lasting facial scarring.
- Flintoff has since returned to television, hosting Bullseye in 2025, and has given detailed accounts in documentaries and interviews about the injuries and recovery.
