These celebs didn't know what they were getting themselves in to.

Since Channel 4's The Jump started in 2014 it's inflicted more pain than Mike Tyson, racking up an injury list longer than that of your average rugby team.

Throughout each series, the celebrity contestants have to perform a variety of risky stunts and it seems these celebrities simply cracked under the pressure, quite literally in some cases...

1. Sir Steve Redgrave

The Olympic hero was forced to pull out of the 2014 final after being plagued by injuries in training, including breaking a bone in his hand.

2. Marcus Brigstocke

Comedian Marcus Brigstocke also had to pull out of the final in 2014 when he ruptured a ligament in his knee after a bad fall.
