Top Gear host settles – gets huge compensation

The BBC, whose motoring program Top Gear has been silent since December last year, must now pay a gigantic compensation to the host Freddie Flintoff.

Top Gear's fate as a TV show remains uncertain after one of three current hosts, Freddie Flintoff, was seriously injured during filming for the show last December. The BBC has since denied reports that Top Gear is to be closed. But now the station has at least reached a settlement with Flintoff. A settlement which means that the former professional cricketer will receive an almost astronomical compensation as a plaster on the wound. According to Sky News, the BBC has agreed to pay Flintoff 9 million British pounds, which corresponds to DKK 77 million after the accident. A BBC spokesman has told the media that: READ ALSO: Per's car was 'near death' – Peugeot in Denmark refuses to help – BBC Studios has reached an agreement with Freddie, which we believe will support his continued rehabilitation, return to work and future plans. We have deeply apologized to Freddie and will continue to support him in his recovery. It is far from the first time a Top Gear host has been injured in connection with filming for the programme. Freddie Flintoff himself was also injured in 2019 when he hit a so-called trike, a three-wheeled motorcycle, at 124 km/h.
