FREDDIE Flintoff has been spending time with his family since his horrific accident on BBC car show Top Gear. He's made his return to our screens , but we take a moment to spotlight his devoted wife, Rachael Wools Flintoff. Rachael Wools Flintoff, 43, is a former model and entrepreneur.
From the age of 19, she has run a successful events company called Strawberry Promotions. She met Freddie Flintoff in 2002 at the Edgbaston cricket ground in Birmingham while at an event to promote her business. Rachael was formerly signed to the Storm Models agency and her pictures have appeared in various magazines.
At one point, she even enrolled to do a law and French degree at Sheffield University. Instead, she quit her studies and landed a job at Capital Radio before starting her business. Rachael married Top Gear presenter Freddie on March 5, 2005, at the Pavilion Road Hotel in Knightsbridge, London.
They live together in a £2.5 million home in Altrincham, Greater Manchester. Unfortunately, the couple did not enjoy a honeymoon due to Freddie's job responsibilities.
She confessed that she wasn’t taken with him at first in an interview with the Daily Mail . Wools admitted: “He really wasn't my type physically, because I generally prefer dark men, but I thought he was the funniest guy I had ever met. “He obtained my phone number and texted me a couple of times, and we went up for a drink, and I was really blown away by his charm.
” In 2015 she made an appearance on TV with Freddie .
