Celebrity SAS star Lucy Spraggan discloses 'serious' injury that left her bleeding
Lucy Spraggan has disclosed the shocking moment she sustained a horrific injury whilst filming Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.
The former X Factor star is participating in the punishing series, which presently features The Traitors champion Harry Clark, S Club 7's Hannah Spearitt, Love Island personality Tasha Ghouri, Rebecca Loos, Conor Benn and Drag Race UK victor Bimini Bon Boulash.
The famous faces are pushed to their limits undertaking the gruelling mental and physical tests needed to complete SAS selection.
Previously, Strictly celebrity Pete Wicks was compelled to withdraw after fracturing multiple ribs and losing consciousness, whilst John Barrowman managed just 32 minutes last year before throwing in the towel.
Several stars have followed a similar path this year, with vocalist Hannah departing within moments, followed swiftly by Louis Spence in the opening episode, and shortly after when Love Island's Chloe Burrows and Tasha both surrendered their armbands, reports the Mirror.
Now, Lucy has revealed a horrific incident that occurred as she ripped her labia while she was attached to a harness during a stunt.
She previously revealed she was having reconstructive surgery soon to correct it because it had "never been the same" after filming.
Recalling the moment it happened, she told The Sun: "I was like: 'This feels really bad. Surely there can't be anything.'
"And I looked and there was a tear, there was lots of blood and the doctor came over and I turned around because at that point you literally don't care about anything.
"Dignity has gone. It was like: 'Oh my God, I thought it was your leg.' And I was like: 'No, no, it's not!'"
She's now opened up in a new interview with LadBible about how the injury happened, while she was jumping off a viaduct and was in free fall for a few seconds before stopping.
She said: "You hit that sort of lowest point, obviously there's quite a lot of like 'yank' and I knew that my harness was in a bit of an odd position, but you've got so much adrenaline when stuff like that's happening, you can't really be like, 'Oh, can I just move this?"'
She went on: "I knew straight away that, like, that was a sincere amount of pain and it was f***ing sincere pain.
"In midair, I was trying to, like, pull on the rope, so like to pull up to relieve some of the tension, in the harness."
When she went to check herself after the task, she saw blood before a doctor came over and thought she had hurt her leg.
Lucy added in the interview that she was surprised to see how much attention her injury had sparked, saying: "I just think that it's kind of crazy that men are always like, 'Oh, my balls, my balls, my balls,' the second that a woman is like, I've got a vulva [it's a big news story]."
That wasn't the only injury Lucy faced however, as she almost knocked out her tooth, and fainted, landing face-first in the sea after jumping from a helicopter.
She was left with a black eye on her wedding day in June last year, and said she "hit the sea so hard my filler migrated to the side of my face".
"By that point I was just in pain everywhere," she revealed.

Love Island's reformed villain Adam Collard gives his verdict on this year's 'toxic masculinity' row as he admits his own desire for fame 'came at the expense of other people
Love Island's reformed villain Adam Collard has issued his verdict on this year's 'toxic masculinity' row as he admitted his own desire for fame 'came at the expense of other people'. The Celebrity SAS star, 29, who has since welcomed his first child and got engaged to sports presenter Laura Woods, earned a reputation as a Lothario during his stint on the 2018 series and later returned for the 2022 series. He received criticism for his partner-swapping on the show and has since been blasted by his ex-girlfriends for his alleged 'toxic behaviour'. And now, Adam has shared his thoughts on the behaviour of men on Love Island after fans slammed this year's male stars for their toxicity - with allegations of 'manipulation, gaslighting and disrespect'. Adam went on to discuss his own behaviour, as he admitted to the Daily Mail: 'I was young, and I had just come out of a relationship. And obviously, you're very, very influenced when you're in there by fame and different sort of things. 'Sometimes it can come at the expense of other people.' On this year's show, contestants Dejon Noel Williams, Harry Cooksley, Ben Holbrough and Harrison Solomon all came under fire for their treatment of prospective partners. The most prevalent criticism of the stars has been gaslighting - particularly Harry's claims he 'cannot remember' a number of his conversations. Sharing his thoughts, Adam revealed that he thought Harry's behaviour only became out of order when he made things exclusive with Helena Ford - before confessing his feelings for Shakira Khan mere days later. Adam said: '[Harry] was with Helena and now he is with Shakira, right? There's nothing wrong with what he did from switching from Helen to Shakira, if he didn't say we're exclusive. 'I think that's the key difference from what I did - and I'm not trying to say I'm right and he's wrong by any means - for me, I think I kind of said I did like one girl and then I was honest enough to say... like I never went exclusively for anyone, and I think that's the key difference.' Adam, who is currently starring on the seventh series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, went on to share his theory on why the attitudes between the girls and boys is different. He said: 'You know how many times you meet people in real life where it's very exciting at the start, and then, like, a few weeks down the line, you think, "Oh, I don't know if this person's right for me". That happens in love island in three days, not three weeks or three months. 'You're almost like, speaking to them all day, every day, 24 hours. You find out very, very quickly. But it might look like some of the boys don't know what they're like in there - and girls are more mature than boys as a whole, they don't have a clue themselves.' Sharing his thoughts, Adam revealed that he thought Harry's behaviour only became out of order when he made things exclusive with Helena Ford (left) - before confessing his feelings for Shakira Khan (right) mere days later Love Island viewers flooded Twitter throughout the show's four week stint to criticise the male stars following shocking moments with their female cohorts. At the helm was Dejon, who was paired with Megan Moore from day one and was blasted for 'manipulating, lovebombing and gaslighting' his partner. Ben meanwhile was scolded by host Maya Jama for a scathing joke aimed at Toni Laites about her union with Harrison, leading to praise from viewers - many of whom lashed out at the stars of the show for their ways. Fans were keen to point out the issues facing the villa due to the behaviour of the male stars, with fans detailing how this year has seen serious problems. It comes after news of the release of a book detailing Dejon's alleged 'gaslighting and abuse'. The former semi-professional footballer and personal trainer, 26, came under fire in the villa for his treatment of now-girlfriend, with whom he failed to reach the final of the show earlier this month. Dejon is the subject of a book - entitled Surviving Dejon - penned by Niah Sienna, who is said to be his brother's sister and no blood relation to the star. In announcing news of her book, Niah said: 'Dejon is a narcissist, he's manipulative. I've been telling everyone this for the past 10 years now but no one believed me.' Following the announcement, Dejon took to Instagram to share a trio of images alongside a caption defending himself against the allegations. In his caption, Dejon penned: 'I've stayed quiet, but that doesn't mean it hasn't affected me. I hold my self accountable for my communication and everyday I'm growing as a person, so thank you for those who see the good in me... 'I'm not just a character on an entertainment reality tv show I'm also a human being with real emotions, some of the stuff I've seen said about me has been hard to deal with and they are the furthest thing from the truth... 'I questioned why people would do these things and it was getting me nowhere as I couldn't understand and is something I would never do to somebody else but what's kept me grounded is movement... 'Running, training, pushing myself when everything in my head feels heavy. It clears my mind, helps me breathe, reminds me of who I am outside of the noise. 'If you're struggling mentally, I get it. I really do. You don't have to have it all figured out just find that one thing that brings you back to yourself and take it one step at a time.'

'Compulsively watchable' Second World War series is based on heartbreaking novel
The series is available to watch on Channel 4's streaming service and is based on Mary Wesley's novel of the same name Lovers of period drama are in for a real delight as a captivating Second World War series is now available to stream at no cost whatsoever. Channel 4 is the proud broadcaster of this gem, which first graced television screens back in the early 90s and even snagged a BAFTA nomination for Best Drama Serial in 1993. The narrative unfolds within the picturesque confines of Helena Cuthbertson's Cornish country abode, with the series' name inspired by a scenic stretch of land between her house and the coastal cliffs where pivotal moments occur. Cornwall's reputation as a prime setting for exceptional period dramas remains unchallenged. The role of Helena Cuthbertson is portrayed by none other than Felicity Kendal of The Good Life fame, with Toby Stephens as Oliver Ansty, Jennifer Ehle as Calypso, and Tara Fitzgerald as Polly. READ MORE: BBC viewers praise 'incredible' period drama as 'one of the greatest' on iPlayer Spanning from just before the outbreak of the Second World War to its aftermath in the mid-1980s, The Camomile Lawn has earned acclaim from enthusiasts as "ingenious". Mary Wesley's novel kicks off with a family gathering in Cornwall during the tranquil summer preceding the global conflict, reports Cornwall Live. When the family reconvenes for a funeral almost fifty years on, they come to terms with the profound effects the war had on their lives. Wesley was spurred to pen The Camomile Lawn following the passing of her second husband, an event that left her in financial ruin. Drawing from her own experiences, parts of the book reflect Wesley's formative years, with the Cornish house mirroring Boskenna - the historic settlement - where she spent considerable time during her younger days. Audiences expressed their views on the adaptation, with Antony Taylor declaring: "Simple and ingenious story, wonderful cast, perfect direction and a script full of sparkle. Watch it and love it." Drawing in over seven million viewers during its debut broadcast, The Camomile Lawn became Channel 4's highest-rated drama of all time – a milestone it maintained as of 2022. One admirer commented on IMDb: "The Camomile Lawn is one of my favourite British TV adaptations." Notmicro described it as "Compulsively watchable and great fun", continuing: "I'd been curious for years to see this thing, both because of the very interesting actors, and the period setting. "Now I've just watched the British DVD, and found that its absolutely brilliantly done, and compulsively watchable. "It takes some time getting accustomed to the affected and presumably somewhat archaic upper-middle-class accents assumed by some of the actors." The Camomile Lawn is available to watch on Channel 4's streaming service.
