Andrew Flintoff's heartbreaking response when asked if he's 'better' since Top Gear crash

Andrew Flintoff had a heartbreaking response after being asked whether he feels "better" after his life-changing Top Gear crash.

While filming for the 34th season, Flintoff was involved in a horrific crash on the test track in Dunsfold Park Aerodrome, Surrey.

The three-wheel vehicle Flintoff was driving at high speed is believed to have flipped and left him with serious facial injuries and broken ribs.

Flintoff, who reportedly had a £9 million settlement with the BBC afterwards, is lucky to be alive.

He still suffers from anxiety and nightmares and in a new BBC documentary titled 'Freddie Flintoff’s Field of Dreams on Tour', gave an upsetting assessment of how he feels.

“Not really. I’m not sure I ever will again, to be honest," Flintoff said when asked if he is "better".

"I’m better than I was. I don’t know what completely better is. I am what I am now, I’m different to what I was, that’s something I’ll have to deal with for the rest of my life. Better, no. Different."

The second series of the Field of Dreams on Tour sees Flintoff take a young cricket team from his hometown of Preston, to a tour in India.

But as part of the show, Flintoff reflected on the crash and even admitted that he "should not be here" while detailing his daily struggles.

The trip became even more important for the England legend as a way of getting through the battles he was experiencing.

Speaking shortly after the accident, Flintoff said: "Week and a half after my accident. Genuinely should not be here after what happened. This is going to be a long road back and I have only just started and I am struggling already.

"I need help. I really am not the best at asking for it. I need to stop crying every two minutes. I am looking forward to seeing the lads and being around them, I really am. This India trip is going to be for me as much as them now. I really want to go.

"I thought I could just shake it off. I wanted to shake it off and say 'here I am, 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 have just not been able to."

Flintoff is now back involved in cricket as head coach of the Northern Superchargers men's team.
