OHMYGOSSIP — Freddie Flintoff has quit ‘A League of Their Own’.
The former cricketer has departed the Sky series after 12 years, and the star admitted he has enjoyed an “unforgettable journey” on the show.
He wrote on his Instagram Stories: “It’s been 12 years, 16 series, 6 road trips across America Europe, 2 BAFTAs and a mud bath I’d rather forget, but now the time has come to leave the amazing ALOTO team.
“I’d like to say a huge thanks to all of you who tuned in over the years and to everyone I have worked with on the show – what an unforgettable journey it’s been.”
Freddie’s exit comes after it was announced in June last year that ‘A League of Their Own’ panellist Romesh Ranganathan was replacing James Corden as the show’s host.
The comedian was in the hot seat for the 16th series of the Sky show, as ‘Gavin and Stacey’ star James was unable to appear due to existing work commitments.
‘King Gary’ actor Romesh said: “I’m over the moon to be taking over the hosting duties and looking forward to being back in the studio with Jamie, Freddie, our guests and the live audience.
“I’m truly honoured to be the new host of such a successful show.
“I know Jamie and Freddie are delighted because they often talk about what a hero I am to both of them.”
Freddie’s fellow former panellist Jack Whitehall departed the show in 2018 after six years.
He said at the time: “I’ve actually made the decision to leave ‘A League of Their Own’.
“I’m leaving because my schedule is very busy. I love doing it but I can’t do it for ever and I want to explore new opportunities — I would like to do more in America.”
