Freddie Flintoff and his wife Rachel once accidentally booked into a "sex hotel".
The 41-year-old former cricketer was stunned during his stay in Miami when his "very nice" room turned out to be in a sex-themed hotel, which featured a "sex toy war chest" rather than the kettle and shortbread he was expecting.
He said: "We’re in this hotel room, which is very nice, and this fella is pointing out all the obvious things, like the mini-bar and the safe, and just as I’m about to ask him if there’s a kettle and some shortbread, he opens up this big box and starts pulling things out.
"I’m standing there with the missus thinking, ‘What the hell is he up to?’ And then it dawns on me – it’s a sex toy war chest."
The ‘Top Gear’ host went on to explain that as he’s from Preston he hasn’t "always been so open-minded" and added that the couple’s room – which featured handcuffs and blindfolds – looked like what would happen "if Willy Wonka did sex hotels".
According to the Daily Star newspaper, in his latest book ‘Do You Know What? Life According To Freddie Flintoff’, he recalled: "I’m from Preston, where ribbed condoms are the height of sexual experimentation, so I haven’t always been so open-minded.
"There are handcuffs, blindfolds and things for just about everything. If Willy Wonka did sex hotels, this place would be it."
The ‘League of Their Own’ star is set to present the next series of BBC’s motoring show ‘Top Gear’ with Chris Harris and Paddy McGuinness, and recently admitted it still doesn’t quite feel real.
He previously said: "It really is [amazing]. No, I still can’t [believe it]. We did the photographs, and then you’re stood there thinking, ‘We’re gonna be hosting ‘Top Gear’."
