EXCLUSIVE – Freddie Flintoff is back this Sunday with a new episode of Bullseye

Bullseye host Freddie Flintoff has a hilarious one-word response as a contestant reveals their unusual talent on Sunday’s episode.

The revamped ITV gameshow is back for another fun episode on Sunday night as three more pairs made up of keen darts player and quizzing partners compete against one another to win points and prizes.

In an exclusive clip obtained by the Mirror of this Sunday’s episode, it sees Freddie, 47, baffled over a contestant’s unique party trick.

In the video, Freddie speaks to contestants Graham and Becky to which the latter reveals she’s a paediatric nurse.

Freddie then says: “I hear you’ve got a anatomy party trick, haven’t you?” to which Becky replies: “Yes I do! I can name a part of the body for every letter of the alphabet!”

Issuing a one-word response, a baffled Freddie says: “Why?” to which Becky responds: “I don’t know!” However, making a joke, Freddie then says: “But Y, Y, I’ve just thrown one at you! Can you do then A to J?”

Becky then starts reciting body parts to the alphabet letters before hilariously asking: “What’s after E, F?!” to which she then misses out the letter G.

This prompts Freddie to joke: “So you know your anatomy but not your alphabet?” to which Becky responds: “Yeah, that’s it!”

Firing another joke, Freddie says: “I was going to say, do you know your a**e from your elbow but I’m not quite sure!”

It comes as Bullseye has returned for a new series and a 2025 Christmas special following last year’s one-off Bullseye festive special, which drew in audiences of over 8.6 million.

The original Bullseye aired from 1982 until 1995 and was hosted by the late Jim Bowen.

Meanwhile, Freddie will not be using his real name as the former England cricketer hosts the ITV quiz show.

The 47-year-old has always gone by Freddie but is actually named Andrew.

Cricket icon Flintoff has always been known as Freddie ever since his school days. He was given the nickname because his surname was similar to that of cartoon character Fred Flintstone.

Bullseye airs Sundays at 8pm on ITV1.

Bullseye is back for another fun episode on Sunday night as three more pairs made up of keen darts player and quizzing partners compete against one another to win points and prizes.

Hosted by Freddie Flintoff, this weekend’s episode sees professional darts player Fallon Sherrock team up with Freddie, 47, to try to complete a charity challenge.

In an exclusive clip obtained by the Mirror of this Sunday’s episode, it sees a simple Coronation Street question cause confusion amongst the players.

Freddie asks: “The winner of Celebrity Big Brother in 2025, Jack P Shepherd, is a star of what soap?” to which contestant, Scott, wrongly guesses: “EastEnders?”

Freddie is quick to respond that his answer is sadly incorrect as he then asks the same question to the fellow players, Brian and Stuart.

Brian is quick to buzz in but before he can give his answer he hilariously admits: “What was the question?”, leaving the audience in hysterics while a confused Freddie responds: “Hey?”

However, Brian quickly remembers the questions and delivers the correct answer of Coronation Street.

Cricket icon Flintoff has always been known as Freddie ever since his school days. He was given the nickname because his surname was similar to that of cartoon character Fred Flintstone.

“It’s strange, isn’t it? Because obviously, my name is Andrew, and then – since I was about 15 – I’ve just been called Fred or Freddie,” he said in a self-titled documentary on Disney+.

“Because Andrew is probably more a reflection of me. Quite introverted. Just like his own space.

“But that would never have survived the world of professional sport. I knew that pretty quickly.”

Bullseye airs Sundays at 8pm on ITV1.

The Dodgers walked into a packed home stadium when their World Series parade was over, waving to an adoring crowd that viewed them as more than back-to-back champions.

They were beloved Angelenos.

Many of the players are on a first-name basis with the city, and if they aren’t, they’re identified by a nickname.

Freddie, Mookie and Shohei.

Yoshi and Roki.

Miggy Ro and Kiké.

Players who were once strangers are now extended members of hundreds of thousands of families.

Ordinarily, a team as old as the Dodgers would have to consider a roster makeover. Freddie Freeman and Miguel Rojas will be 37 by the start of the next World Series. Max Muncy will be 36, Kiké Hernández 35, Mookie Betts and Teoscar Hernández 34 and Shohei Ohtani 32.

But under these circumstances, how could the Dodgers think of breaking up their team?

How could they unload any of their superstars, regardless of how much they could decline in the next year? How could they not retain their key free agents, regardless of how old they are?

They can’t, they can’t and they can’t.

The Dodgers have to run this back — again.

“Obviously, we would love everybody to come back,” Freeman said.

Muncy has a $10-million team option for next season. The Dodgers have to pick it up.

Rojas and Kiké Hernández are free agents. The Dodgers have to re-sign them.

Freeman won’t be making the calls on his teammates, of course. The decisions will be made by president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman, who was characteristically evasive when asked about the efforts the Dodgers would make to keep their out-of-contract players.

“Obviously, guys who have been here and been a big part of it start with a major upper hand,” Friedman said. “That being said, they’re free agents. They’ve earned the right to go out and talk to the 29 other teams as well.”

Muncy doesn’t have a choice to leave if the Dodgers exercise his option, but Rojas and Kiké Hernández have said they would like to return next season.

Whatever Friedman decides shouldn’t preclude the Dodgers from shopping on the free-agent market, with Kyle Tucker and Steven Kwan being potential additions to their outfield.

But the nucleus of the Dodgers would be even older than it was this year when their collective age presented a variety of problems.

Their 18-inning victory in Game 3 clearly diminished them more than it did the Toronto Blue Jays, who won the next two games. In retrospect, that should have been expected, as the Dodgers struggled to maintain consistency on offense over a grinding six-month regular season.

While Betts transformed into one of the league’s best defensive shortstops, he experienced a sharp offensive decline. Muncy was limited to 100 games because of injuries. Teoscar Hernández wasn’t close to being the same player he was last year.

There were times that even Ohtani started to show the effects of being on the wrong side of 30. Ohtani’s father acknowledged this reality in a congratulatory open letter he wrote to his son, which was published in the Monday edition of Sports Nippon.

“Shohei, you’re 31 years old,” Toru Ohtani wrote in Japanese. “I think that as a baseball player, you’re in your prime, but there will come a time when you have to decide between pitching and hitting. When you can’t pitch anymore, you can be an outfielder. I think that if you practice, you can definitely do it.”

That being said, the team has to be kept together.

A championship can force teams into sentimental decisions, as was the case last winter when the Dodgers re-signed Teoscar Hernández to a three-year, $66-million contract.

This winter, they will have to settle similar disputes between their hearts and minds. They should listen to their hearts.

The players deserve it. The fans demand it.
