Filming of the new season of Top Gear will not resume due to an accident with host Flintoff

The filming of the new season of the famous British TV show about cars Top Gear will not resume due to the accident, which in December last year involved the host Andrew Flintoff. About it informs Deadline publication, citing a statement from the producers.

TV presenter after an accident while filming a program on a racing track in Surrey in southern England was hospitalized. He suffered several fractures and is still recovering.

“Given the circumstances, we think it would be inappropriate to resume filming for Season 34 of Top Gear,” cites the publication of the statement of the producers.

In addition, they apologized to the host after investigating the incident. And the Times newspaper reports that Flintoff will leave the show, which he has been hosting since 2019.
