Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins host Rudy Reyes has sent an inspirational message to Pete Wicks after he was forced to medically withdraw from the show after a serious injury.
The Only Way Is Essex star Pete, 33, was seen floating face down in the sea after jumping from a helicopter in a gruelling challenge in Sunday’s episode. Rescue swimmers raced to help the reality star 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.” After medical examination, Pete was told it would be too dangerous to continue in the process as the challenges would become more physical, a decision which left him “truly gutted.”
