Ex-Towie star Joey Essex has hurt both his legs whilst training on winter sports programme 'The Jump'.

He complained of being clipped by an unidentified female skier and said he heard his leg go 'crack' shortly afterwards.

Speaking to The Sun, he said: “I was going down a really steep slope really fast and a random lady clipped me. My right foot was killing me but I couldn’t stop, so I turned on my left and fell over on my head and rolled down the hill.

“My left leg got tangled in my right ski and went ‘crack’. I had a double whammy."

Joey said: "Both my legs hurt," when asked how he felt. The injury is not believed to be serious or have broken any bones.

The Jump is a Channel 4 TV talent contest which trains celebrities to compete in a winter sports competitions, and has a growing reputation for danger after a number of other contestants were hurt in training.

The list of injured celebrities now includes professional dancer Ola Jordan and wife of the current Speaker of the House of Commons Sally Bercow. Both pulled out of the show after injuries they received.

The show is due to start early next month,
