Former Top Gear star Chris Harris has claimed he expressed safety concerns to the BBC before Andrew “Freddie” Flintoff’s injury at the show’s test track and told them that someone could die.

TV presenter and former England cricketer Flintoff, 46, was badly hurt in an accident while filming at Dunsfold Aerodrome in December 2022, which led to the show being rested for the “foreseeable future” by the BBC.
