Freddie Flintoff is said to be making a television comeback following a short hiatus.

He has been seen in new pictures, which show the terrible facial injuries he suffered in 2022 have healed substantially since his previous public appearance seven months ago.

Following the near-fatal crash, the BBC announced that it would pause Top Gear – and in November last year the show was rested for the “foreseeable future”.

Freddie, 46, is still recovering from his injuries and is understood to have negotiated a £9million settlement with the corporation.

The former cricketer is set to return to filming with his reality show Freddie Flintoff’s Field of Dreams.

A source told The Sun: “This will be a huge comfort to his fans because it shows he’s healing well and returning to two of his greatest passions — sport and television.

“It’s obvious that there is some scarring, which everyone expected, but Freddie looks to have made huge progress since he was last seen in public playing cricket.

“He’s clearly comfortable enough to get in front of a camera again — something which was not the case this time last year.

“They’re nervous first steps, as he’s recovering both mentally and physically, but the TV show he’s making is a real passion project for him.”

Express.co.uk have approached Freddie Flintoff and BBC representatives for comment.

The first Field of Dreams series featured him returning to his home city of Preston to recruit youngsters and introduce them to the sport while the sequel will see him travel to India.

The new images of Freddie were taken in Sri Lanka where he recently met members of the Lancashire Cricket Academy on tour.

Freddie reportedly required a number of surgeries following the crash, suffering broken ribs and facial bones after being dragged along the road.

He retreated from the limelight as the former cricketer took some time out to recover.
