FREDDIE Flintoff and wife Rachel Wools are expecting their fourth child 11 years after welcoming son, Rocky.
The ex-England cricketer confirmed the news after Rachael, 39, revealed her growing bump at the Attitude Awards in London last week.
A source told MailOnline: “They’re over the moon to be expecting again. It’s been exciting news for all the family.”
The news comes as Top Gear host Freddie, 41, walked away from a 124mph crash on the same track that almost cost ex-host Richard Hammond his life.
Flintoff is a part of the new-look line-up for Top Gear, along with comedian Paddy McGuinness and motor journalist Chris Harris.
Freddie, real name Andrew, was driving a three-wheeled cycle-car that required him to hurtle along lying on his front and head first.
But Flintoff over-shot the runway in his time trial, spinning off in a cloud of dust.
Thankfully he was able to walk away, injury free.
Flintoff married Rachael Wools on March 5, 2005, at the Pavilion Road Hotel in Knightsbridge, London.
They met in 2002 at the Edgbaston cricket ground in Birmingham, which Rachel attended to promote her events company called Strawberry Promotions.
In 2006 Rachael sold Strawberry Promotions on account of her busy schedule and so she could spend more time with her children.
Rachael was formerly signed to the Storm Models agency and her pictures have appeared in various magazines.
The couple has three children together, a daughter, Holly, 13, and two sons, Corey, 12, and Rocky, 11 and live together in a £2.5 million home in Altrincham, Greater Manchester.
Flintoff has the names Rachael, Holly, Corey and Rocky tattooed on his left shoulder.
Since retiring from cricket, Freddie has been a guest commentator at a number of global darts events.
In 2014 he came out of retirement briefly to play for Lancashire in the Natwest T20 Blast series, where they narrowly lost in the final to Birmingham Bears.
And a year later he was crowned King of the Jungle in Australia’s I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!
But perhaps most notable of all was his short-lived boxing career.
On November 30, 2012, Flintoff won one fight against American boxer Richard Dawson in Manchester.
