The BBC is to “rest” Top Gear “for the foreseeable future” following Freddie Flintoff’s crash, it has said

There are no plans to bring back the motoring show with its line-up of Flintoff, Paddy McGuinness and Chris Harris.

“Given the exceptional circumstances, the BBC has decided to rest the UK show for the foreseeable future.

“The BBC remains committed to Freddie, Chris and Paddy who have been at the heart of the show’s renaissance since 2019, and we’re excited about new projects being developed with each of them,” the corporation said in a statement.
