Celebrity SAS star Lucy Spraggan needs surgery after ‘ripping' intimate body part as stunt goes wrong
X Factor singer Lucy Spraggon was left bleeding and in agonising pain on the notoriously hardcore reality show and now will have to undergo reconstructive surgery.
The show pits celebrities against each other, testing their resilience in a condensed version of a SAS selection course and is run by an elite team of ex-Special Forces soldiers.
Spraggon revealed the horrific extent of her injuries to
The Sun
, saying medics initially thought she had hurt her leg, but the reality was far worse.
'I ripped my labia - it was bad. That's not a common injury,' the 34-year-old said.
'Actually, genuinely, that's never been the same, so much so I'm having some surgery soon to correct it.
'I don't really know even what happened, I guess the harness was tight.
'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!''
It wasn't the only time she was injured on the gruelling series. Spraggon said she also nearly knocked out one of her teeth, got a black eye and fainted.
'I had the filler under my eyes and when my face hit the sea so hard my filler migrated to the side of my face,' she said.
'By that point I was just in pain everywhere...and the filler didn't migrate back, when I got home I had to have it dissolved.'
Despite the injuries, Spraggon has called being on the show a 'life goal'.
'I met some brilliantly brave and inspiring people and took part in things I never imagined I would get to do,' she wrote on Instagram.
'A truly unforgettable experience!'

Prince Andrew unleashes foul-mouthed rant at workers near his home: report
IN LONDON Prince Andrew unleashed a foul-mouthed rant at workers near his home who were installing speed bumps, it has been reported. According to The Sun, the disgraced Duke of York, 65, had a bout of road rage and confronted the group working within the Windsor Great Park estate. 'What the f**k are you doing now?' Andrew allegedly shouted at the men, who were putting in the traffic-slowing bumps. He reportedly became even angrier when he realised that one of the bumps was being installed on the road out of his sprawling mansion. 'The worker was just going about his job when Andrew, on one of his regular rides round the estate, came along and looked down from up high and said, 'What the f**k are you doing now?' the source claimed. 'Andrew likes to drive his car out of Royal Lodge quite fast and is obviously a bit peeved as one of the speed humps is right by the gate out of the park.' It's not the first time Andrew's alleged temper tantrums have been exposed. In early 2022, the duke allegedly yelled at a female gardener on his estate, claiming she was cutting trees incorrectly. She was 'shaken and upset' over the unpleasant encounter and reportedly no longer works in Andrew's vicinity. That same year, his former maid, Charlotte Briggs, told The Sun that he had once sworn at her over a pair of heavy curtains. She alleged that he'd made her run up four flights of stairs to close them as he sat nearby, and when a small gap was left behind, he shouted: 'Can't you f*****g do anything right?' It was also reported in 2016 that Andrew had rammed closed park gates in his Range Rover to avoid a short detour home. The duke is once again at the centre of an unflattering spotlight of attention, thanks to the publication of extracts from an upcoming book focusing on him and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson called Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the Yorks. In one of the previews, released via the Daily Mail, it was alleged by author Andrew Lownie that"'tension' between Prince William and his uncle is at least partially caused by 'rude' remarks about his wife. A source told Lownie there have been issues between the Duke of York and William for years amid Andrew's reputational free fall. According to the insider, Andrew had been 'rude' about Kate – although details of his remarks were not divulged. Lownie also writes that William had been campaigning for years to get his uncle – who lives with Sarah – evicted from the Royal Lodge, which is situated on the grounds of Windsor Castle. 'He [William] also loathes Sarah, Andrew's ex-wife, and can't wait for the day when his father throws them both out,' the source alleged. 'If Charles doesn't, I guarantee you the first thing William does when he eventually becomes king is to get them evicted.' It's also been widely reported that William has been instrumental in ensuring Andrew remains out of the working royal fold in the years since his trainwreck Newsnight interview.

Brittany Cartwright sheds tears on Special Forces: World's Toughest Test
Brittany Cartwright cried "at least three times" on Special Forces: World's Toughest Test. The 36-year-old reality star appears on season four of Special Forces, the quasi-military training TV series, and Brittany has described competing on the show as the "hardest thing" she's ever done. During an appearance on the Detox Retox With Tom Schwartz podcast, Brittany shared: "It was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. "I've been very open about heights and how that terrifies me so doing different things like that, I'm proud of myself." The reality star acknowledged that she pushed herself to her physical and emotional limits on the show. Brittany also watched old episodes, including some featuring Tom Schwartz, her former Vanderpump Rules co-star, as part of her preparations. She shared: "I was like, 'Wow, Tom actually was impressive on that show.' Except for that time that he had to carry … JoJo Siwa carried Tom. That's hilarious." Asked how she ultimately fared on Special Forces, she quipped: "Let's just say I tried!" Meanwhile, Brittany split from Jax Taylor, her husband, in 2024, and subsequently filed for a divorce. However, the TV star previously admitted that she initially thought they would reconcile. She told Us Weekly: "It has been such a roller-coaster deciding to separate. I really thought that we would be able to get back to a place where we could probably get back together. "I didn't know for sure, but I really wanted to try everything I possibly could to save my marriage and keep my family together." Despite this, Brittany suggested that the heartbreak has actually made her a stronger person. She explained: "It's just been a roller-coaster of emotions; a lot of ups [and] a lot of downs, but I also feel like I've gotten so much stronger throughout all of this. I'm really feeling confident in my decision, and I think that a lot of people are going to be able to relate to everything I'm going through." Brittany always felt that she would be with Jax "forever". She said: "I always thought we would be together forever. But again, I do feel very confident in my decision and it was not a quick decision for me."

Katy Perry slapped with huge fine over music video
Katy Perry has been forced to pay a huge fine after filming a music video in a 'protected area' of Spain. The music star was filming for her single Lifetimes last July but not all went to plan. The 40-year-old filmed the music video in the Ses Salines Natural Park on the Balearic Islands sparking outrage among locals, reports The Sun. At the time, the Balearic Islands government said an investigation was underway after it emerged that Katy's video was filmed in a protected area without necessary permissions. In a press release, the environmental agency clarified that 'in no case had the production company' sought permission to shoot in the Ses Salines National Park. Parts of Katy's Lifetimes video were reportedly filmed within the dunes on the islet of S'Espalmador, located within the UNESCO World Heritage nature reserve that spans the islands of Ibiza and Formentera. The video also includes a series of postcards from what appear to be filming locations including Ibiza and Formentera, where the national park is located. Lifetimes is the second single from Katy's upcoming sixth studio album 143. The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and the Natural Environment said a preliminary investigation for possible environmental damage had been launched against production company WeOwnTheCity. Now, it's been revealed the firm has been slapped with a €6,001 (A$10,747) fine, according to Majorca Daily Bulletin. But as there was no lasting damage to the area, officials say there will be no additional penalties handed out, despite it being a 'serious' offence. In the Lifetimes music video, directed by Stillz, Katy can be seen cliff jumping, dancing on a beach, and partying at popular night-life spots on the islands. The video also includes a series of postcards from what appear to be filming locations including Ibiza and Formentera, where the national park is located. Lifetimes is the second single from Katy's upcoming sixth studio album 143. It follows the release of the album's lead single Woman's World, which received mostly negative reviews. Fans have criticised the song's 'dated' lyrics, with one person branding it 'the worst thing I've ever heard.' 'I was rooting for Katy but these lyrics are so dated it's giving 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign material. It's over,' another fan wrote on X. Several people, including actress Abigail Breslin, also called her out for collaborating with disgraced music producer Dr. Luke on the song and album. One X user wrote, 'The irony of having a song praising women but you're working with Dr. Luke? Katy Perry I didn't expect this from you.' Kesha accused Dr. Luke of sexually assaulting her in a 2014 lawsuit. He denied the allegations and countersued the TiKToK singer, with the duo settling their claims last year.
