“I have PTSD and I am anxious, for periods of time, I find myself crying for no particular reason.”
Flintoff also said that he revives the crash every night when he lies and described the experience as a “vivid” movie.
“Only the memories are real, to the point that I am now talking about that and I am getting a little nervous and I can feel the pain on the side of my face,” he says.
“I can feel a ghost pain. It’s a curse, really.”
The former Top Gear Flintoff host was tasks for the hospital after he was injured while filming the BBC motoring program on his test track in Dunsfold Aeródome in Surrey in December 2022.
Remembering the accident, he says: “I thought I was dead because I was aware but I could see anything.
“I was thinking,” is that? ”
Hey added: “My greatest fear was, I thought I had a face. I thought my face had come. I was heated to death.”
The BBC “rested” in the upper march for the future provided for in 2023 after reaching a financial agreement with Flintoff, according to reports, an agreement with a value of around 9 million.
In the documentary, Flintoff seems resentful about the culture of entertainment in which he was involved, comparing it with his own career as injuries.
