But it looks set to take place in the UK not overseas because of the Covid-19 restrictio­ns.

Flintoff, Jamie Redknapp and Romesh Ranganatha­n were shocked at how funny the Scotsman was when he appeared as a guest on the new series of their comedy panel game show.

Freddie quipped: “How good was he? He was iconic. We thought we’d got his brother Jamie Murray for a minute. We thought it was the wrong one.”

Romesh added: “I don’t think I’m exaggerati­ng when I say you have never seen Andy Murray like he is on this show. He can talk. He could be a stand-up. He’s crazy.”

Other guests joining the trio for the new series include Tony Bellew, Eddie Hearn, Sam Quek and Anthony Joshua.

Romesh joked that Bellew is a gas too.

He added: “I wasn’t expecting him to be as funny as he is.

“I don’t think he realises what he is doing. He hasn’t got a clue.”

Games had to be changed as they were too touchyfeel­y, the desks had to be longer and the guests were placed further apart.

The new rules were welcomed by Jamie, though, who joked: “I’ve not missed Freddie trying to de-bag me.”

Fred admitted: “I’ve seen so opportunit­ies and know I can’t.”

The pandemic also put paid to regular host James Corden jetting in from the US to join his pals, so the panellists took turns to present the show. many

COMEDIAN Romesh Ranganthan, left, broke his wrist trying to ride a BMX bike on the show.

He moaned that fellow hosts Freddie and Jamie showed no sympathy towards him even when he was “on gas and air for the pain”.

Redknapp joked: “Romesh was like ET on that BMX.”
