SAS: Who Dares Wins has seen the worst celebrity injury in the show’s history, with X-Factor singer Lucy Spraggan tearing her private parts when a stunt went wrong.
The competitor on Channel 4’s military training contest was left bleeding and in agony as result of wearing a harness and says she now needs reconstructive surgery.

Lucy, 34, who’s best pals with Simon Cowell after she appeared on his talent show in 2012, suffered several injuries during her time on SAS: WDW which continues on Sunday.
She said: “I ripped my labia – it was bad. That’s not a common injury. Actually, genuinely, that’s never been the same, so much so I’m having some surgery soon to correct it.
“I don’t really know even what happened, I guess the harness was tight.
“I was like: “This feels really bad. Surely there can’t be anything.” And I looked and there was a tear, there was lots of blood and the doctor came over and I turned around because at that point you literally don’t care about anything. Dignity has gone. It was like: ‘Oh my God, I thought it was your leg.’ And I was like: ‘No, no, it’s not!'”
Other stars who’ve come a cropper on SAS: Who Dares Wins include Pete Wicks who was knocked unconscious and broke his ribs, fellow X-Factor singer Jake Quickenden who ruptured his arm and chest muscles while former Health secretary Matt Hancock got trenchfoot and nearly choked to death.
Lucy’s woes didn’t end with the harness, however. During filming of this series she also nearly knocked one of her teeth out, fainted, and suffered more horror injuries when she face-planted the sea after trying to jump from a helicopter onto a boat.
That left her with a black eye, which was still present on her wedding day, and permanently displaced filler in her cheeks.
Lucy said: “I had the filler under my eyes and when my face hit the sea so hard my filler migrated to the side of my face.
“By that point I was just in pain everywhere…and the filler didn’t migrate back, when I got home I had to have it dissolved.”
