The talkSPORT Breakfast Show has got even bigger with the signing of England cricket legend Andrew ‘Freddie’ Flintoff.
Last week, Laura Woods was announced as the new Breakfast host on Monday to Wednesdays to a great fanfare.
Alan Brazil is still taking the chair on Thursdays and Fridays, but we’ll now be joined by another big man, as Ashes winner, King of the Australian jungle and Top Gear presenter Flintoff joins the talkSPORT team.
Freddie will be on air every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with Laura and Rangers and Scotland legend Ally McCoist from 6am to 10am to put a smile on the faces of sports fans.
The popular cricket star brings with him a legion of fans and a growing wealth of broadcasting experience, having been a central part of the Bafta-award winning sports quiz A League of their Own.
The new Breakfast team will be joined by superstar guests from the worlds of sport and entertainment for more classic talkSPORT fun in the morning.
Freddie said: “I’ve been a talkSPORT listener for years and the team are fantastic.
“I’m really looking forward to joining the breakfast line-up with the brilliant Laura Woods and Ally McCoist Monday to Wednesday.
“Our message to the listeners is: stay in, stay safe and listen to talkSPORT.”
Head of talkSPORT Lee Clayton said: “With the world shutting down around us due to coronavirus, people need an escape and we will be here for you.
“At talkSPORT it is our mission to keep sports fans smiling and whilst there may be no live sport, there’s plenty to talk about.
“Freddie is a world class sportsman who has become a world class broadcaster. We are delighted to have him in our star line-up. talkSPORT Breakfast just got bigger!”
