Tina Hobley reveals she’s still using a crutch one year after her accident on The Jump and admits she’s been unable to drive, dress or wash without help
The Holby City actress had her life turned upside down after she suffered an injury while competing on the Channel 4 show
TINA Hobley has revealed she’s still having to use a crutch, one year after she had a serious accident on The Jump.
The 45-year-old suffered serious injuries to her arm, shoulder and leg during the competition in February 2016.
Tina is still suffering from the accident and has opened up about the devastating impact it has had on her life.
She told : “It has been a really tough year, I’m not going to deny that.
“For much of the year I haven’t been able to drive, dress, wash my hair or have a bath unaided.
“I hope I won’t be left with long-term problems.”
Mum-of-three Tina also revealed the emotional toll of the injury, adding: “I’m very upset about not skiing with my children as I have been going for the last 30 years.”
The fourth series of The Jump starts on February 5 and will air for six weeks.
Many familiar faces have already flown out to Austria to start their training, with Bradley Wiggins, Josie Gibson, Made In Chelsea's Spencer Matthews and former Towie star Lydia Bright all taking part.
She tweeted: "I just want to assure everyone we are not pushed to do any thing we do feel ready to do on #thejump. Safety is first."
And she wasn't alone, as Robbie Fowler appeared to struggle after suffering his own painful-looking fall.
The show has doubled its training schedule to help keep the latest batch of stars safe, and it looks like they might need the practice.
Wearing a bright red ski suit and, fortunately, a helmet, Robbie was seen coming off a jump — albeit seemingly not from the top — and tipping forward as he lost his balance, eventually landing flat on his stomach and losing his skis.
Josie meanwhile was pictured in blue and yellow gear, losing control of her skis and swerving sideways into a wall as the tips crossed.
It's not the first time Josie's landed on her back while training for the show.
The reality star, who's been getting one-on-one coaching, injured herself when she landed on her back during practice in London, and later broke down in tears after another tumble.
Perhaps the series is called The Jump because The Fall was already taken.
