Rebecca Adlington dislocates shoulder while training for The Jump

Rebecca Adlington has become the latest casualty of Channel 4 reality show The Jump, after dislocating her shoulder while pulling off a risky stunt. The former Olympic swimmer was left in agony after losing control while practicing a ski jump at more than 30mph on a 100 metre long icy slope.


The 26-year-old said the pain she felt was "worse than childbirth" as her shoulder was dislocated for 40 minutes before she was carried away to an ambulance while taking in gas and air.

Speaking during Sunday night's opening episode of the entertainment show, Rebecca said: "What people didn't see in the edited footage is that I was lying there with a dislocated shoulder for 40 minutes. It was worse than childbirth and it's still horrible now because people keep knocking my arm."

Meanwhile an insider told The Sun: "Rebecca's fall was incredibly nasty. One minute she was flying through the air, the next she was crumpled on the crash mat and clearly in a lot of pain."
