Top Gear fans were not happy when presenter Freddie Flintoff missed part of last week's show - branding it "rubbish" in his absence.
Freddie, 43, was due to join his co-hosts Paddy McGuinness and Chris Harris in Iceland, but had to cancel at the last minute because he had to self-isolate.
The trio were supposed to drive their cars through the breathtaking country, which was one of the "few options" for summer travel due to the coronavirus.
However walking through the dramatic landscape without his pal, Paddy said: "I can't believe that Flintoff's not here - he would love this."
Chris explained: "Unfortunately, the day before we travelled, Flintoff had been forced to self-isolate and so couldn't join the trip."
The former cricketer was sorely missed with fans taking to Twitter to complain.
One viewer wrote: "Where's Freddie? Its just not the same, I miss him."
Another said: "Top Gear is a bit s*** tonight without Freddie."
"Without Freddie, Top Gear is worse than when S Club 7 became S Club," joked a third while a fourth fumed: "Utter rubbish. Switched off."
Meanwhile anther fan wrote: "Hearing 'Flintoff couldn't make it' and wondering why I'm still watching."
Despite not making it to Iceland, Freddie was seen later in the show test-driving a new Corvette.
The star caused further upset when his show with Jamie Redknapp, Jamie and Freddie's DNA Journey, was aired in place of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!, which was cancelled due to Storm Arwen.
Announcing the new schedule on Twitter, Ant and Dec wrote: "Since we can’t be on your tellies tonight, we’ll let these two keep you company instead! @ ITV tonight at 9pm a repeat of Jamie and Freddie's DNA Journey #DNAJourney #affiliate."
But fans weren't happy with one writing: "Still don't know why we're not getting an unseen footage show. It would be the perfect replacement."
While another commented: "If it had any sense they'd be showing yours."
In his new autobiography The Book of Fred Freddie has admitted he used to steal expensive items and give them away “Robin Hood-style” when he worked at Woolworths.
The former sportsman says he even let someone have a free Sony PlayStation to help “the poorer families of the North West”.
Born in Preston, Lancs, Freddie is now worth an estimated £15million.
He wrote: “If I tell anyone born before 1985 I worked in Woolies, they automatically assume I must have stolen from the pick’n’mix [loose sweets]. And I did.
“They were long shifts and I needed the sugar to get me through. But chocolate mice, bon bons and Black Jacks were the least of their worries. I may also have been involved in acquiring a PlayStation."
