Freddie Flintoff has revealed he wears a FitBit during sex to encourage him to 'work a bit harder to impress his wife' - but she says she is definitely not a fan of technology in the bedroom.

The 39-year-old cricketer says he is trying to burn through around 4,000 calories a day and even monitors romps with his wife.

But Rachael, 37, has blasted the unusual activity as 'weird' and 'really wrong.'

Speaking as part of the new Channel 4 show Married To A Celebrity: The Survival Guide, the mother-of-three told her husband: 'This is the weirdest and most wrong out of everything you do,' according to The Sun.

She added: 'Robbie Savage bought him a FitBit for Christmas but there's certain intimate moments in the bedroom, you should take your FitBit off.

'Things are happening and then your husband's wrist is flashing telling him his heartbeat and how hard he's working. It's really wrong.

'It's putting me off though. It's like you're seeing it as another training session rather than anything else. It's really not nice.'

Freddie hit back, however: 'I just want to get my steps in! When I get excited my legs start going, the steps go on.

'But if I try a bit harder, I can get to 4,000 calories. That’s what I’ve set as my goal for the day.'

The couple has been married for 12 years and have three children together - Holly, Corey and Rocky.

And this is not the first time the former England International star has opened up about the intimate details of his marriage.

In 2015, he revealed he had given up his bad-boy partying lifestyle that once saw him capsizing a boat and nearly drowning in the Caribbean while under the influence.

'I'm not that wild lad anymore,' Freddie revealed.

Giving credit to his wife Rachael he said: 'She would give me a bitching and I would listen... now I'm a dad and a husband.'
