FATIMA Whitbread struggled with “excruciating” pain after breaking 3 ribs on a Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins assignment.
The former athlete injured when she jumped from a helicopter into the sea.
The challenge also saw Towie star Pete Wicks leave the screen after breaking his ribs and knocking himself out.
Sportswoman Fatima, who is the oldest contestant to appear on the show, told the Mirror: “I can’t tell you the excruciating pain I’m going through.
“Even picking up my backpack was difficult. I knew it was a pain for some of them to ask them to help me with my backpack when normally I would only pull it with one arm.
“But I couldn’t even do that because of the 3 broken ribs. As the days passed, the pain got worse. I couldn’t go to bed well or well.
“And simply. . . Moving around to go out and get dressed, horrible. Absolutely awful.
The 61-year-old said leaving the screen never crossed her mind, as she invented our brains to complete the process.
She said the pain “grabbed” her after the accident, leaving her unable to lie down at night.
At the time, he didn’t know he had hurt his ribs and didn’t want to see a doctor for the pain because he didn’t need to be told to leave the program.
Last month, Pete said he was “really disgusted” that he was medically removed from Celebrity SAS after knocking himself out in the helicopter challenge.
Pete noticed him floating upside down in the shocking scene after jumping off the plane with fellow TV star Ashley Cain.
When he reached shore, Pete told a doctor, “I got out of breath and fainted, all my ribs are pretty sore and my head hits me. “
He later said, “I wasn’t worried about this challenge, which is the strangest thing. My most powerful thing is swimming. “
