News about Rory Reid

An ex-Top Gear host said he feared the show 'wouldn't end well' when TV bosses added TV and sports stars - Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff and Paddy McGuinness - to the roster. Rory Reid, 44, divulged that he had fears about putting celebrities behind the Top Gear wheel as they lacked the driving experience and know-how. It comes as former England cricketer and ex-host Flintoff, was badly injured in an accident whilst filming the show at Dunsfold Aerodrome in December 2022, where he flipped a three-wheeled car. 

After a horrific crash on Top Gear that put him out of action for months, the BBC has apologized to Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff and decided to pay him a £9 million. Mr Flintoff, 45, is reported to have reached an understanding for two years of unemployment. Both the former England cricket captain and the BBC are apparently happy with the deal, according to reports. According to reports familiar with the deal, Mr Flintoff decided not to sue the corporation but waive a 'potentially larger payout'. The parties 'agreed to deal privately, with as little animosity as possible,' the insider said. According to reports, the father-of-four, who is still recovering from his 'life-alteringly critical' injury, and the BBC are eager to continue collaborating on future projects.

According to reports, Top Gear has been axed by the BBC after 46 years after executives determined there was no way back from Freddie Flintoff's horrific car accident. Since his open-topped three-wheel 130mph Morgan Super 3 vehicle, which had no air bags, flipped over on December 13 last year, leaving him with serious facial injuries and broken ribs, the former England cricket captain was 'lucky to be alive.' With the BBC later giving him an apology, the Ashes hero had to wait for an air ambulance for an 'agonizing' 45 minutes.
