The 44-year-old announced the news on Instagram, posting a snap of him in drag on the show and one showing him with his co-stars Jamie Redknapp, Jack Whitehall and James Corden.
Alongside the pictures cricketer Freddie wrote: "It's been 12 years, 16 series, six road trips across America and a mud bath I'd rather forget.
"But now the time has come to leave the amazing ALOTO team.
"I'd like to say a huge thanks to all of you who tuned in over the years and to everyone I have worked with on the show - what an unforgettable journey it's been."
Some fans didn't take the news well and rushed to Twitter to share their upset over Freddie's shock exit.

With more time on his hands now we might see Freddie on Strictly Come Dancing in the not-so-distant future.
He previously told The Sun he would take part in the BBC1 competition - but only if he was paired with a male partner.
Former England cricket captain Freddie reckons veteran dancer-turned-judge Anton Du Beke, 55, would be ideal as he could easily throw him around and lift him in the ballroom and jitterbug routines.
Freddie, married to Rachael for 16 years, jokes: “I can just imagine it, ‘Right, Anton, I’ll lead you, son’.
"I reckon I could pick him up as well, no problem.”
