We grill the Top Gear presenter about all the important things, like his favourite takeaway.
There's no secret Freddie Flintoff is a fan of food - after all, he once did a whole show called Flintoff: Lord of the Fries, where he lived out his dream of running a fish and chip shop out of a van.
Sadly, the van is out of action, but the ex-cricketer has plenty of other projects to occupy his time. He's done a European road trip with A League of Their Own and is part of the new generation of presenters on Top Gear.
Instagram suggests Flintoff is still finding plenty of time to hit the gym despite his busy schedule, but that doesn't mean he won't indulge in a bag of chocolate buttons every now and again.
We caught up with the cricketer and presenter about what he eats day-to-day...
Your death row meal would be... What am I on death row for? What have I done? Fish fingers, chips and beans.
The thing you still can't make is... I don't cook too often - I get frustrated when I cook an egg and I burst the yolk. One in three I'll ruin.
Your favourite late-night snack is... I love chocolate, I really do. I go to Co-op and it's terrible, because it seems like everything's a pound - these big bags of Buttons and big Dairy Milks. It depends what's on offer - I like a bargain.
You like your eggs... The best way is fried.
Your favourite childhood dinner was... A treat for us as kids was going to the chip shop - mum and dad would get us fish and chips.
Last night you had... I ate a lot last night. I was at the cricket and was in hospitality, so you get a full breakfast and halfway through the first innings I had a pie, then I had lamb and potatoes and a piece of cheesecake. Then my wife hadn't eaten - I wasn't meant to eat at the cricket so I brought an Indian home, but I just picked at that. So I ate a lot yesterday.
If you're ordering takeout, it has to be... Curry - Indian.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
