After boxing, England cricketing great Andrew Flintoff will try his hand at a different type of live performance -- starring in a musical. Flintoff, who is affectionately known as ‘Freddie’ -- has also appeared in Mellor’s TV drama ‘Love, Lies and Records’ due to screen on BBC. The 39-year-old former England skipper -- who played 79 Tests and was man of the series in the epic English success in the 2005 Ashes series -- is taking the lead role of Kevin Chadwick in ‘Fat Friends’ on a tour of England. The curtain will go up on the show -- which was originally a hit TV show written by award winning writer Kay Mellor -- in Leeds, Yorkshire, in November. I loved the TV series and think Fat Friends - The Musical, is going to give people a great night out. I’m really looking forward to it.”
