Paddy McGuinness and Chris Harris will appear on TV together later this month for the first time since Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff's Top Gear crash nearly two years ago.

McGuinness, Harris and Flintoff used to be co-hosts of hit BBC series Top Gear, until the later was severely injured in an accident at the show's Test Track - the Dunsfold Aerodrome, Surrey - back in December 2022.

The former England cricket captain reportedly flipped a Morgan Super 3 vehicle on the first bend at the Top Gear test track during filming for the show while not wearing a helmet.

The vehicle was only travelling at 22mph but was open-top, meaning when it flipped Flintoff's face scraped along the tarmac, reported the Mail on Sunday.

The presenter sustained broken ribs and serious facial injuries in the incident with Flintoff’s son Corey, revealing at the time, his father was “lucky to be alive” describing it as a “pretty nasty crash”.

There were reports Flintoff's crash was so bad Top Gear staff who witnessed it had to be signed off work indefinitely as they struggled to come to terms with an incident described as "something you would truly want to unsee". 

After months of speculation, the BBC finally made the decision, last November, to rest Top Gear for the "foreseeable future".

Flintoff returned to TV for the first time recently on BBC series Freddie Flintoff's Field of Dreams On Tour.
