I read Leisel Jones’ book. She said she retired at 27 and said, ‘Now what?’ because swimming was the biggest part of her life. So for me, that’s why I’m keeping up my studies on the side even if it’s going to take a bit longer than normal, but at least I’ll have it.

The feathers have been retired to the London Hard Rock Cafe. I don’t obsess about it as much. Also, it’s strange – the better physical shape I get in, the less I care about what suit I’m covering myself up in. I’m not really out to flaunt it, but I’m just more comfortable in my own skin.
I made a series for ITV, just after I retired from Tests in 2009, called ‘Flintoff Versus the World.’ The idea was that I would attempt a series of extreme sports – rodeo riding, jumping out of aeroplanes, paragliding, cliff diving. I thought, ‘Yeah, it looks fun. It’s six weeks having a laugh.’
