Broadcasting from home on talkSPORT Breakfast with co-hosts Laura Woods and Ally McCoist, he said: “Little Preston was born at Christmas – it is the first time I’ve actually spoke about it, but yeah we have got another baby and it has been nice spending time with him.”
Revealing he is named after his home town, he said: “He’s called Preston and I’m from Preston.”
Asked by Woods: “So it was inspired! Did you do a David Beckham?” Flintoff replied: “Well, that’s the difference between our two lives; his lad’s called Brooklyn and my lad is called Preston!”
