The most painful reality TV injuries ever, from torn vulva to 'accidental C-sec
Celebrity SAS contestant Lucy Spraggan has recently made headlines after suffering one of the most painful injuries in TV history. Sharing details of the grisly injury, she described how she 'tore' her vulva while filming the reality TV competition. 'I ripped my labia – it was bad,' she told The Sun. 'That's not a common injury. Actually, genuinely, that's never been the same, so much so I'm having some surgery soon to correct it.' She went on to say how she didn't really know what had happened to cause the tear, guessing only that the harness she had been wearing 'was tight'. Lucy's injury may have been one of the worst suffered by a reality TV contestant, but she's far from the only one to have been gravely injured in the name of entertainment. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. Here's our run-down of the most painful injuries in all of reality television. As you might expect from a show which has celebrities speeding around an ice rink with sharp blades attached to their feet, Dancing on Ice has had no shortage of casualties over the years. The most serious of these was perhaps Olympian Greg Rutherford, who suffered a grisly injury when he fell and landed on his own ice skate. During the long and painful recovery period, Greg likened the injury to 'having a C-section.' In 2021, Denise van Outen was forced to pull out after an accident left her with three bone fractures and a partial dislocation. Talking about the incident on Instagram afterwards, Denise described the pain as 'unbearable.' Greg and Denise join the likes of Jennifer Ellison (who kicked herself in the head with her own skate), Josh Jones (injured during rehearsals) and Keith Chegwin, who suffered cracked ribs on the first day of the competition. In 2018, Love Island star Dani Dyer was forced to drop out of the South Africa-set ITV2 series after only one day. The injury occurred as Dani went headfirst down a waterslide, dislocating her shoulder on the way down. A source said: 'Dani knew straight away she had done serious damage but tried to continue as she didn't want to seem like a wuss. It was too much, though, and she was taken to the hospital.' Olympic gymnast Beth Tweddle's injuries sustained while filming ski competition The Jump are considered by many to be the worstto ever happen on a reality TV show. Beth was airlifted to hospital during rehearsals for the Channel 4 show, which took place at the show's ski jump set in Austria in 2016. According to Beth's lawyer, she sustained serious injuries, which included two fractured vertebrae, and required surgery on her spinal cord. In 2019, it was reported that Beth was suing the show's makers for £200,000 in damages. She claimed that she has never fully recovered from the incident, saying at the time: 'It's been a long journey and my recovery is still ongoing. I'm not sure I'll ever be 100% again.' A statement by production company TwoFour said: 'This matter is being dealt with by our insurers and we are unable to comment as the claim is ongoing.' Beth was one of many celebrities who sustained serious injuries on the show, including Tina Hobley (broken arm), Mark-Francis Vandelli (fractured his ankle), Rebecca Adlington (dislocated shoulder) and Sarah Harding (injured knee). Following these high-profile celebrity injuries, The Jump was put on indefinite hiatus in 2018. After injuring his leg during training for the ITV diving competition Splash! Crimewatch presenter Rav Wilding was rushed to hospital with a blood clot on a lung on New Year's Eve. Not only did Rav's injury spoil his Christmas, but he also struggled to find work afterwards, and was forced to cancel his wedding to fiancée Jill Morgan. 'It breaks my heart that Jill and I had to cancel our wedding,' he told The Guardian at the time. When former MP Louise Mensch took part in the Channel 4 series in 2019, she was forced to drop out after ripping a muscle. 'After I quit, which I had to, I was completely injured, I wasn't going to let the team take punishment for me,' she told 'Every step was painful and they had me checked out at hospital and I had a three and a half centimetre rip in the back of my muscle, so literally every step was painful.' Not quite as grisly as a torn vulva, but still pretty painful. Former EastEnders star Nigel Harman had been one of the favourites to win Strictly in 2023. While his fortunes ultimately varied on the show, his journey came to an end when he broke a rib while training for the quarter-finals. He explained: 'I was leaping off a rostrum, and was about to be caught by some very handsome men, and as I flew, I was Peter Pan, and as I landed, I was in A&E. 'It's quite painful. This hasn't really sunk in. I've been avoiding Katya all day because that makes it really real as well.' It's not just the contestants who need to watch out; sometimes, the hosts find themselves in harm's way. More Trending While rehearsing for I'm A Celebrity spin-off Extra Camp in 2018, host Joel Dommett suffered a gnarly injury when he was struck on the head with a sign. He was subsequently rushed to hospital, where he was given seven stitches and the day off to recover. Before that, in 2005, former Neighbours star Kimberley Davies fractured a rib after jumping 15ft from a helicopter in a Bushucker trial.

Two Doors Down teases new neighbour in Christmas special
The "secret" plotline was leaked when actress Joy McAvoy was seen on set with a baby bump. She was pictured alongside her co-star and in-show partner, Graeme 'Grado' Stevely. The upcoming holiday special will be the first time the dysfunctional residents of Latimer Crescent have reunited in over two years. Pop the kettle on, Beth. We've got a Two Doors Down Christmas Special on the way! The residents of Latimer Crescent are congregating at Beth and Eric's to celebrate Christmas on @BBCiPlayer and @BBCOne Details ➡️ — BBC Press Office (@bbcpress) July 17, 2025 Two Doors Down teases new neighbour ahead of Christmas special Discussing the new neighbour, a TV insider told The Sun: 'Bosses were desperate to keep Michelle and Alan's baby joy under wraps, but the cat's out of the bag now. 'The last series had left viewers on the edge of their seats after Alan popped the question in Vegas.' Fears that new episodes of Two Doors Down would never air again were raised when the programme's co-creator, Simon Carlyle, sadly died in 2023, aged just 48. However, in March, these fears were quashed when it was revealed that the cast would be returning for a one-off episode on the BBC. Gregor Sharp, who has written the new Christmas special, said: 'It's really exciting to be revisiting Latimer Crescent with all the regular cast for this new episode. "Christmas is a time for getting together with friends and family and then becoming low-level irritated by them, so it feels like they're the perfect group to celebrate the season with.' BBC director of comedy, Jon Petrie, added: 'There's something comforting about having the neighbours round for Christmas, even if they bring minor chaos." Recommended Reading: How to watch the 2025 Two Doors Down Christmas special The multi-award-winning Scottish comedy will return for its holiday Special in December. However, an exact date and time have not yet been revealed by the BBC. Those wanting to watch the episode will be able to do so live on BBC One and on demand via BBC iPlayer.

THEATRE Niusia ★★★★ Summerhall (Venue 26) until 24 August In The Land Of Eagles ★★★★ Pleasance Courtyard (Venue 33) until 25 August Troubled ★★★★ Summerhall (Venue 26) until 25 August Amazons ★★★ Summerhall (Venue 26) until 25 August. LEI-LDN ★★★ Pleasance Courtyard (Venue 33) until 25 August Mind How You Go ★★★ Zoo Playground (Venue 186) until 24 August IN A WORLD IN TURMOIL, it's perhaps not surprising that the 2025 Fringe is full of young women seeking to reconnect with the past traumas and disruptions experienced by their own families; and none more eloquently than Australian writer and performer Beth Paterson, in her solo show Niusia, at Summerhall. Niusia | Pic: contributed Beth's story revolves around her Jewish grandmother Niusia, whom she only knows, in her teens and childhood, as a bad-tempered and permanently angry old lady given to spiteful comments about her own offspring. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Niusia loves Beth's singing voice, though, when she sings romantic numbers from the mid 20th century, or old Jewish songs; and Beth gradually begins to understand that her grandmother is a holocaust survivor, a woman from the Warsaw ghetto who worked at the notorious hospital in Auschwitz under Josef Mengele, and who somehow survived to begin a new life in Australia, as a formidable businesswoman, mother and grandmother. On a stage full of family books and albums, Beth begins - over an hour - to unweave her grandmother's story, and to understand its massive impact on her mother, and then on herself. Bath Paterson is a superbly poised and engaging performer, always sharply focussed on the story, and letting her own emotions emerge from the narrative, on a tide of sharp intelligence and humour. And by the end, she seems almost to blaze with pride in her inheritance, as part of this line of mighty female survivors; not because she doesn't understand the tragedies violent displacement currently shaking our world, but precisely because she does understand the human meaning of those crises, more clearly than ever before. And exactly the same pattern of family silence breached, and greater understanding and compassion flowing through the cracks, helps shape Alex Reynolds's In The Land Of Eagles, at the Pleasance Courtyard. Possessed by the usual teenage need to be 'normal' and fit in, Alex loves her Albanian-born grandpa, but takes little interest in his story until she turns 30, and finds that her grandfather's health is beginning to fail. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad He says that he would like to go home, before he dies; and Alex begins to imagine travelling with him on a journey to the Albania of the 2020's, now free from the terrible dictatorship of Enver Hoxha, but still often reviled in Europe as a source of unwanted migrants. As she reaches Albania, her writing begins to soar and glow with rich descriptions of the capital, Tirana, and the mountains to the north, home of the magnificent great-grandmother she is told she resembles; and although the story's ending is a sad one, the sense she creates of a woman immeasurably enriched by this belated reconnection with her grandfather's roots is deeply moving, and beautiful. Alex Reynolds – In The Land Of Eagles | Felicity McCabe In Suzy Crothers's Troubled, at Summerhall, the struggle with the past relates not to one figure in the family, but to the whole society in which she grew up, in 1990's Belfast. With her parents constantly aware of the danger of bombings and shootings in the city, her otherwise carefree childhood - captured in a poignant school picture in the last moments of the show - is haunted by the fear that the world is not a safe or reliable place. 30 years on, we see a woman of 40 or so living and working in London, but still - despite her warm intelligence and humour, and a steady supply of tea and biscuits - wrestling with poor mental health and acute anxiety; and making her way only slowly towards the calmer waters of middle age. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Gael Le Cornec's Amazons, also at Summerhall, also tells the tale of a London-based writer-performer haunted by history; in her case, a Brazilian and Amazonian heritage that involves black, white and indigenous ancestors. Le Cornec's story is expressed through a dizzyingly complex show that features projected videos and photographs, live stop-motion video involving tiny clay sculptures, intense dramatic monologues, a chorus of aunties on the telephone, and some dire satirical caricatures of male colonialists down the ages; in a vivid but hugely uneven vision of an inheritance that is vital not only to Le Cornec, but - in the 21st century struggle to save the Amazon - to us all. The tone is slightly different in Na'keisha Pebody's LEI-LDN, at the Pleasance Courtyard. The title reflects the journey of rebellious 17 year old Chardaye from her hometown Leicester to London, as she struggles to make sense of her mixed-race English-Jamaican heritage after a major fall-out with her English mother, and is sent to live instead with her Jamaican auntie, in Peckham. Full of wild banter and defensive good-time-girl chat, Chardaye's story can be a shade exhausting, particularly in early scenes packed with incidents, rows, and super-cool references to the current rap scene. Towards the end, though, the show spirals into a deeply moving reflection on Chardaye's difficult relationship with a white mother long estranged from Chardaye's Jamaican dad, and therefore, in some ways, from Chardaye herself; and Pebody's talent as a writer and performer blazes through these scenes, in a raw and sometimes awkward show absolutely packed with promise and potential. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad And finally, Glasgow-based folk singer and theatre-maker Michelle Burke's show Mind How You Go, at Zoo Playground, reflects on her childhood in County Cork with such a light and genially humorous touch that it leaves very little impression, beyond a strong and welcome sense of benign warmth. It does, though, feature four or five beautiful and haunting songs, that probe a little into the emotional undercurrents of her early life; and help this show, like many others on this theme, to reach out beyond the individual story, to the big currents of history that will always shape our lives, whether we choose to connect with them, or not.
