Freddie Flintoff, Paddy McGuinness to re-voice Total Wipeout

Freddie Flintoff and Paddy McGuinness are to provide new voiceovers for classic episodes of BBC gameshow Total Wipeout.

Top Gear hosts Freddie Flintoff and Paddy McGuinness are to provide new voiceovers for the assault course gameshow Total Wipeout, the BBC has announced.

The series - similar in format to Takeshi's Castle - was originally hosted by Richard Hammond and Amanda Byram and aired on BBC One between 2009 and 2012.

Total Wipeout: Freddie and Paddy Takeover is described as a six-part "reversion" of the original show, with the comedic duo providing fresh commentary over classic episodes and moments.

"I can't wait to be involved with this brilliant show and to have a laugh watching people fumble with those big red balls!" said Flintoff.

McGuinness added: "Now more than ever we need to laugh at people bouncing off those big red balls. I'm so happy to be involved in bringing this classic show back!"

The show is being produced remotely during the coronavirus lockdown and will air this summer on BBC One.
