Pete Wicks said he was “truly gutted” to be medically withdrawn from Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins after he knocked himself unconscious and broke his ribs during a challenge.
The Only Way Is Essex star was seen floating face down in the sea in the shocking scene which aired on Sunday, after jumping from a helicopter with reality star Ashley Cain in a helo-cast task. Rescue swimmers raced to help the 33-year-old, flipping him over in the water as the concerned recruits were heard saying from the shoreline: “Someone’s struggling.”
After swimming to shore, Wicks told a medic: “I winded myself and passed out. All my ribs are quite painful and my head is banging.”
