Former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff relived his drunken trip to Downing Street after winning the Ashes back in 2005.

Flintoff had been invited to meet the then UK Prime Minister Tony Blair after England won the Ashes in 2005. But famously still drunk from the celebrations the night before, Flintoff ran riot, The Daily Star reported.

Flintoff said that he was playing Prime Minister, adding that he was playing the big one and had a bottle of Becks in his hand.

He said that he had his feet on the table and was hosting his own meeting questioning Blair that what about Ministry of Defence, what has he got to say.

Freddie will tell all on his life in sport on Piers Morgan's Life Stories on Friday, the report added.
