Thar She Blows – Rachel Flintoff Lets Off Steam
RACHEL Flintoff, wife of cricketing privateer Andrew Flintoff, says her man is “stupid”.
As has been recorded in the annals of sporting legend, Flintoff’s stupidity was to have stayed up late on a work night, drunk too much and set sail on a pedalo.
“Freddie!” screams the headline. “You’re a stupid bugger.”
Rachel, pictured in a grey top, staring into the camera and ruffling her brown hair, tells the Mirror the first things she’ll tell her husband is that he’s a ”stupid bugger”.
Says Rachel: “Andrew is extremely hardworking and extremely loyal… He can be in constant pain and covered in blisters and will still keep going for five more days.”
England management team should be thankful the pedalo capsized. Had Flintoff’s vessel been equipped with a pair of oars, it’s not hard to imagine the tireless sportsman fighting the pain barrier as he approaches the Colombian mainland.
But it’s good that he did not. England need Flintoff. And so does Rachel.
As Rachel, the face of Persil washing powder, tells us, she has a new bikini – “It’s brown and looks like leather. I’ve got about four really nice ones to take with me.”
Rachel is all set to join her husband out in the Caribbean sunshine.
Avast! Permission to come aboard? Splice the main brace and peddle like you mean it.
And don’t worry about the calluses on your hands, Flintoff – Rachel’s bikini can take it…
