Celebrity SAS star details horrific injury that left her feeling her 'dignity had gone'
Lucy Spraggan has revealed the horrifying moment she received a gruesome injury while filming Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.
The former X Factor contestant is taking part in the brutal series, which currently includes The Traitors winner Harry Clark, S Club 7's Hannah Spearitt, Love Island star Tasha Ghouri, Rebecca Loos, Conor Benn and Drag Race UK winner Bimini Bon Boulash.
The celebrities are put through their paces taking part in the extreme mental and physical challenges that are required to pass SAS selection.
In the past, Strictly star Pete Wicks was forced to bow out after breaking several ribs and being knocked unconscious, while John Barrowman lasted only 32 minutes last year before quitting.
Some stars followed suit this year, with singer Hannah lasting mere minutes, followed out the door by Louis Spence in the first episode, and not much later when Love Island's Chloe Burrows and Tasha both handed in their armbands.
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.

Christine McGuinness comes to 'intense' realisation hours before Celebs Go Dating exit
It was another day of paradise for the celebrity's on the Celebs Go Dating Ibiza getaway, but it didn't seem as if Christine McGuinness was having as much fun as the others Tonight, Celebs Go Dating viewers saw the celebrities let their hair down for a night out on the town in Ibiza, without Christine McGuinness by their side - as she made a sad admission about being away from her children. It's been a tough week in the agency for mother of three Christine, who was visibly uncomfortable during the first mixer. She did however, manage to secure a date in Ibiza, and last night fans saw her having a lovely time with Leanne. The pair, who are both mothers to three children, opened up about the mum guilt they face, and tonight, Christine emotionally opened up about missing her children while she was away. It comes after Christine McGuinness says 'it's my fault' and reveals surprising truth behind Paddy split. Before the season started airing, Christine revealed she had decided to leave the agency, in scenes which are yet to air. However, it looks like Christine's time could be up soon, as she spoke about how the process felt 'too intense' for her. As her castmates Louis Russell, Jon Lee and Olivia Hawkins headed off for a night in the town, Christine informed the trio that she'd be staying back for a quiet night alone in the villa. Expanding to the camera, the 37-year-old said: "In all honesty, I'm finding being away from the kids and being here with everyone a little bit too intense. I'm just craving a bit of peace and quiet," she said. The others then headed on an eventful night out, where they met Kerry Katona after her date. Too Hot To Handle 's Louis Russell appeared to get lucky during the night out, as he was spotted kissing another girl in front of Love Island star Olivia's face. The two have been getting close all series, as S Club star Jon told Olivia that Louis kissing a girl was to "get her back" for bringing her date back to the villa later in the day. It looks like Christine avoided the villa drama, and it doesn't look like she'll be there for much longer, as confirmed back in May. Taking to her Instagram story a few months back, Christine said: "I joined Celebs Go Dating with great intentions but have realised that dating on a public platform and the attention that brings is just too soon for me. "They've said the door is always open for me which I'm so grateful but for now I'm returning home to my family." A spokesperson for Celebs Go Dating said in a statement that those behind the show have "loved" working with Christine and "respect her feelings". They said: "We have loved having Christine on the show and completely respect her feelings and decision to return home and have told her that the door is always open for her in the future at the agency."

Jon Lee's mum feared he was dead after S Club singer 'went missing' for two years
Former S Club 7 star emotionally opened up about his father's death during tonight's Celebs Go Dating, and how he didn't speak to his mum for two years while he was grieving It was former S Club 7 star Jon Lee who became emotional during tonight's episode of Celebs Go Dating, as he opened up about his father's tragic death. Jon's sadly lost his father in 2014, after he was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. The star, who was very close to his dad, told dating experts Anna Williamson and Dr Tara that he "lost the plot" after his fathers death. Opening up to the agents in Ibiza, the star opened up about how his dad had been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease at the same time he found out his boyfriend had been unfaithful the entire time they were together. "I had an emotional slap from this relationship, and then that happened. And I hadn't quite recovered myself from that, and then that happened as well and everything fell apart." Opening up further, Jon expressed how close he was to his father, as he was seen tearing up in front of the agents. "Within the first year, he'd completely lost the ability to move, he couldn't speak, he had to be fed through a tube in his stomach. He couldn't talk to me. To go out like that, I literally lost the plot. I thought, 'What the f**k is the point?' It broke my heart. Explaining on how he dealt with the grief, Jon continued: "I went out, I was taking loads of drugs. I went completely off the rails. That got to a point where I had to make a decision. I had to sort myself out or it wasn't going to end well." Jon then recalled packing a bag, and never going back to his home. "I wrote to my mum, I sent her my front door key. I wrote her a note saying I don't know where I'm going, I don't know what I'm doing, but I need to sort myself out." The former popstar then left the country for four years, telling the agents how he didn't even speak to his mum for two of them. "She didn't know where I was. She said every time the phone rang she thought it was going to be the police saying, 'We found Jon and he's dead.' That's my biggest regret, that I caused her..." he said as he broke down in tears. Earlier in the conversation, Jon opened up about how he felt he had to hide his sexuality while in the band, and didn't really get to experience dating until they broke up in 2003. Jon was just 15 when the band started, as he told the agents he didn't have an opportunity to figure out who he was in the real world. Although Jon's S Club 7 bandmades and his family knew he was gay, the star never spoke about it publicly. "Throughout the band, I wasn't comfortable with my sexuality at all, so it would happen when I was drunk," he explained. "I didn't feel comfortable enough to be in a relationship until after the band and when I went back into musical theatre," he admitted. "It felt like I was out of the limelight then and no one cared about me anymore. That's when I started my dating life, so I was massively behind and very emotionally immature." Jon's time in the agency comes after a six year break from dating, as he told the cameras during the first episode that he had been celibate for six years. In a chat while filming, Dr Tara told the Mirror that Jon was the celebrity that surprised her most in the Agency, and he was set to make a "shocking revelation". "Jon has had a really interesting journey since S Club and I know a lot of it hasn't been shared anywhere else. It's a really interesting and insightful investigation into what really has been happening in his life since S Club and what he's been doing in the recent years," she told us. "One of his revelations I was shocked," Tara exclaimed, as she revealed Jon was the celebrity who surprised her the most in the agency. "I thought Jon would come in a lot more guarded but he's not," Tara said. "He's ready to bare it all emotionally and it's a beautiful thing. I've been learning a lot about him already, and I have to say it's a very touching story."

Materialists film review: This tale offers some uncomfortable takes on the romcom trope but ending is predictable
MATERIALISTS (15) 117mins ★★★☆☆ 'THE difference between dating and love is that dating is difficult and love is easy,' declares Lucy (Fifty Shades Of Grey's Dakota Johnson). And she has set up nine first encounters between strangers that resulted in an 'I do', so she should know. 4 4 Lucy is a 30-something professional matchmaker in New York, where chance meet-cutes are off the table and betrothal is a business transaction. Her wealthy clients are her commodities, and matrimony closes the deal. In the agency where Lucy works, staffed solely by shrieking women with blow dries and high heels, the database of single men and women all hoping to be connected with 'the one' are given impersonal monikers and their vital statistics — net worth, weight and personality — are ruthlessly dissected. Expectations are high while the merchandise is often — literally — low. Males of diminutive stature be forewarned: the height of men is made to be a very big deal here and measuring in under 5ft 11in referred to as negative. Balding, overweight, egotistical men demand to be set up with 'fit' 20- something females but, as Lucy notes wryly, no man is ugly 'they just don't have money'. Meanwhile ordinary women in their thirties continually fall by the wayside. 'I just want to settle for someone,' laments 37-year-old singleton Sophie, the normal girl who guys with high opinions of themselves aren't interested in. It's a situation that anyone who has been at the sharp end of the dating scene will relate too, even if the swipe-right world of singles apps is never mentioned here. The Ballad of Wallis Island film review- This story of love, loss, and folk music will tug on your heartstrings But Lucy's personal life isn't following the script. 'Born poor', her head tells her to find a man who offers financial security. Millionaire Harry (Pedro Pascal) ticks all the boxes. He picks up the bill, is kind and keen to put a gigantic ring on it. But her heart says otherwise, thanks to the reappearance of John (Chris Evans), her financially unstable actor ex. Does Lucy want a life of luxury or is it more important to find a 'Grave buddy'? Writer-director Celine Song's (Past Lives) tale offers some sharp, and uncomfortable takes on the romcom trope and lifestyles buffed up with the sheen of money hold your attention. But the love-triangle leads lack some chemistry and the ending is predictable. NOBODY 2 (15) 89mins ★★★☆☆ EVEN assassins need a break and with family time falling by the wayside in favour of dispatching bodies, Hank (Better Call Saul's Bob Odenkirk) decides a holiday is in order. Nostalgic for his childhood vacations, he whisks wife Becca (Gladiator's Connie Nielsen) and their offspring to retro waterpark Plummerville. 4 But the tourist town turns out to be filled with crime -lords, so Hank is reluctantly back to the day job. Reprising their roles from the 2021 original – where Hank revealed himself to be a cold-blooded hitman living as an ordinary Dad – he and 'Momma Bear' Becca continue to make a convincing couple. Quick-fisted son Brady (Gage Munroe) shows traits towards the family trade and there's non-stop action set pieces from director Timo Tjahjanto. The violence is extreme but with Hank clad in garish vacation shirts and hats it also serves up laughs and feels slapstick. Think lacerated eyeballs and decapitations but on fairground rides, and duck-themed river boats. Sharon Stone plays drug-lord Lendina and there are morals about family values for good measure. It's brutal, big-screen fun. But if you don't like your action with a bit of silliness it probably won't convince. Laura Stott ★★★☆☆ REAL-LIFE couple Dave Franco and Alison Brie headline this semi-comedic body horror from first-time writer-director Michael Shanks. They play Tim and Millie, an amiable yet co-dependent pair who swap the bustle of the city for the supposed tranquillity of a small rural town, only to find something altogether darker lurking beneath. 4 Millie, a teacher, greets the move with enthusiasm, seeing it as a fresh start. Tim, a musician whose dreams of stardom are receding fast, is far less convinced. Their uneasy adjustment is halted when they stumble upon a mysterious subterranean chamber during a walk in the woods. Trapped overnight, they emerge to find something has followed them home, a presence that feeds on their deepest insecurities. Shanks plays with the metaphor of romantic co-dependency through the lens of horror, blending bodily mutation with creeping psychological unease. This works up to a point, but the film often lays its allegory on too thick, leaving little to unpick. What keeps it watchable is Franco and Brie's chemistry, which lends heart to the grisly absurdity. A flawed but intriguing debut.
