FREDDIE FLINTOFF 'SET TO PRESENT NEW PRANK SHOW'

Top Gear's Freddie Flintoff is the favourite to front a new prank show, according to reports.

Advertising the show, ZigZag Productions say: "Do you have a mate who is larger than life? Does you mate deserve to experience the prank of a lifetime? ZigZag Productions are looking to speak with people who want to stitch up their hilarious mate in the most memorable of ways - with the aid of a celebrity."

They say: "This is a new hidden-camera TV prank show on a leading UK broadcaster."

A source told the Daily Star On Sunday: "Freddie is the natural fit for the show. He's a larger than life character who loves a laugh and a joke, and a show with him helping people prank their friends would be a huge ratings winner...

"The makers want him to front the show and that would also go a long way to helping them secure the best slot on TV for the product."

More information will be revealed in due course.
