Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff has broken his silence about his near-fatal car crash in a new trailer for his show, Field of Dreams.
Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff has revealed his Top Gear horror crash has left him struggling with 'anxiety', 'nightmares' and 'flashbacks', as he admitted that he 'genuinely should not be here'.
Flintoff speaks candidly about the mental struggles he has been through in the wake of the accident in forthcoming new BBC documentary series Freddie Flintoff's Field of Dreams On Tour, which sees him take a group of youngsters on a cricket tour to India.

'It's going to be a long road back and I've only just started and I am struggling already and I need help. I really am.' He adds: 'I don't know what completely better is. I am what I am now. I'm different to what I was. It's something I will probably have to deal with for the rest of my life. So…better? No, different.'
He tells the show: 'I thought I could just shake it off. I wanted to shake it off and say 'I'm alright' but it's not been a case of that. It's been a lot harder than I thought. As much as I wanted to go out and do things, I've just not been able to.'
