Made in Chelsea star Mark-Francis Vandelli has become the fourth celebrity to leave Channel 4’s The Jump after fracturing his ankle.
The 26-year-old was taken to hospital after injuring himself in a tumble during a challenge on Sunday’s show and will not be returning to the competition.
A Channel 4 spokeswoman said: “Whilst racing during the show on Sunday evening, Mark-Francis fell, injuring his ankle. He received immediate medical attention but sadly will not be able to continue in the competition due to an ankle fracture which has now been treated.”
Fellow contestant Brian McFadden sparked speculation that Vandelli had undergone an operation when he posted a now-deleted picture of the reality star in a hospital bed.
According to the Mirror, he captioned the picture: “Even post surgery MarkVandelli looks like a Versace model!!!”
On Monday night, Vandelli posted a picture on Instagram of him sightseeing in Innsbruck, Austria, but did not mention his injury.
He joins a long list of injured celebrities forced to pull out the winter sports show. Competitor Beth Tweddle, 30, remains in hospital following neck surgery which involved having a piece of bone taken from her hip after a fall on the slopes during rehearsals for the latest series of the winter sports show.
Fellow Olympian Rebecca Adlington and Holby City actress Tina Hobley have also withdrawn because of injury, while athlete Linford Christie has been forced to take time out due to a hamstring injury but hopes to return to the show.
Channel 4 have confirmed they will review safety procedures on the show.
