Freddie Flintoff 2 Dennis Wise 2

Andrew Flintoff’s quest to find something useful to do with himself after retiring from cricket continued tonight in ITV4’s Freddie Flintoff Versus The World.

In this week’s installment, our hero visited Canada to challenge Dennis Wise to a series of sporting challenges of differing dangerousness.

Nothing has quite hit the spot like Darren Gough trying his hand at Mexican lucha libre in the first episode, but watching a team of huskies drag Freddie through thick snow came pretty close.

And the skeleton (or travelling at 60mph over sheet ice on a tea tray) was hair-rising. As always, Freddie rose admirably to meet every challenge. He may say he’s having second thoughts, but you just know he’ll never back down.

Next week, Freddie comes up against Ian Walker (I presume the former Tottenham goalkeeper with the strange hairstyle).
