Vogue Williams has been forced to quit The Jump before it has even started after suffering a knee injury.
The Irish model and presenter, 31, injured herself during training on Wednesday, meaning that she won’t actually be able to compete in the Channel 4 show.
Williams hurt her knee while practising for the Ski Cross, in which the celebrity contestants speed down a race track at high speed.
A spokesperson for Channel 4 said: “Vogue fell during training for ski cross yesterday injuring her knee which sadly means she can no longer continue in the competition.”
A source has told The Sun: “Vogue is absolutely devastated. She was so looking forward to taking part and has been training religiously.
“She’s one of the most competitive of the group and was in with a real chance of winning.”
