"He has been taken to hospital for further treatment and we will confirm more details in due course."

According to The Sun, Flintoff's injuries are "not life-threatening".

"All the usual health and safety measures were in place for filming too," a source told The Sun. "Freddie was taken to hospital by air ambulance shortly afterwards.

"Filming has been postponed for now and all anyone cares about is Freddie recovering."
