The Jump: Injured contestants say I'd go back in a heartbeat

There have been calls for The Jump to be scrapped after four contestants were forced to pull out already this year.

But two former competitors have told ITV's This Morning they would do the show again "in a heartbeat" despite getting badly injured.

Comedian Marcus Brigstocke recently revealed he couldn't work for a year after snapping his knee ligament on first series The Jump.

But the funnyman said it had not put him off telling Holly and Philip: "It cost me a bit of money.

"But it was an experience of a lifetime. It doesn't work like that, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat."

The Channel 4 show has reviewed its safety procedures after four contestants were forced to pull out of this year's show due to injury.

Rebecca Adlington said dislocating her shoulder in one of the first stunts was "worse than childbirth".

Actress Tina Hobley dislocated her shoulder and Made In Chelsea star Mark-Francis Vandelli broke his ankle.

While gymnast Beth Tweddle had to have surgery to fuse two fractured vertebrae in her neck back together.

Former contestant Ola Jordan broke her leg when she appeared on the show in 2015.

The Strictly star told This Morning she "loved the show" but "should never have signed up" because she is a dancer.

She added: "My leg is still not 100%. It's not great. It's my stupidity. I signed up for a show and maybe I shouldn't have but...."

Ex-EastEnders actor Joe Swash and Miss Great Britain Zara Holland are reportedly set to replace Beth and Mark-Francis in this year's show.
