Celebrity SAS Pete Wicks ‘haunted’ by medical withdrawal following rib injury

Pete Wicks said he is “haunted” after being medically withdrawn from Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins and was “truly gutted” after he knocked himself unconscious and broke his ribs during the show.

The Only Way Is Essex star was seen floating face down in the sea in a scene which aired on Sunday, after jumping from a helicopter in a gruelling challenge. Rescue swimmers raced to help the 33-year-old and flipped him over in the water as concerned recruits were heard saying from the shoreline: “Someone’s struggling.”

After swimming to shore, Pete told a medic: “I winded myself and passed out, all my ribs are quite painful and my head is banging.”
