The crashed killed Tiler and the three occupants of the other vehicle whilst Redknapp, who was covered in petrol, was pulled out of the car by Sinclair.
Redknapp was presumed dead at the scene but after spending two days unconscious he was flown home in an air ambulance which was paid for by Bournemouth.
He suffered a fractured skull, broken nose, cracked ribs and a gash in his left leg but made a full recovery except losing his sense of smell and gaining a facial tic).
What has he said about going on I'm A Celebrity and how much is he getting paid?
Redknapp said: “I was going to do Strictly this year, but I didn’t think I could dance, that was one thing. I actually had a trial with one of the professionals who came round my house.
“She was fantastic, but after I trod on her toes about five times I realised I wasn’t a very good dancer.”
The ex-manager is pocketing £500,000 for his stint on the show.
He is the second-highest celeb on the show, behind Noel Edmunds who is on £600,000.

In October 2016, Sandra was seriously injured when she was "run over by her husband".
