After a week of uncertainty, Channel 4 have confirmed that Rebecca Adlington will sit out the rest of this year’s series of The Jump – and Heather Mills will take her place.
A spokesperson for the show told Metro.co.uk: ‘Due to a reoccurring shoulder injury Rebecca is withdrawing from The Jump on medical advice.
‘Heather was a brilliant competitor last year and it was such a shame to lose her early on due to damage to her prosthetic leg. As Heather never competed in any of our ski events and hasn’t taken on the new ski jump, she is on an even field with this year’s competitors.’
