British professional cricketer Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff has teamed up with BBC Two to host its new programme, Special Forces: Ultimate Hell Week.

Flintoff, who'll present the six part series, will see successful applicants take on gruelling tests used by some of the world's harshest army regimes, from the Navy SEALs to the SAS, in a search to find the UK's 'toughest recruit'. He commented 'I have always had an interest in the Armed Forces and what it takes, both physically and mentally. The contestants are going to be pushed to their very limits and it is going to be a great insight into what our Armed Forces go through on a daily basis'.
