Cricketer Andrew Flintoff has told the story of how he held a fake parliamentary cabinet meeting at 10 Downing Street during a visit to the then-Prime Minister Tony Blair back in 2005.

The 37-year-old was invited to Blair's home with his fellow England cricketers after they won the Ashes, but during the trip Flintoff decided to explore the famous building.

While speaking to his campmates in the Australian version of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here, Flintoff said: "So I had a bottle of beer in my hand sitting at the Prime Minister's desk and held my own cabinet meeting."

He went on to say that a security guard eventually discovered him and said: "Freddie you've had your fun now fuck off."

Flintoff has been in Australia for the last few months as he competed in the Big Bash League with Brisbane Heat.
