TV show The Jump has claimed another casualty! Olympic legend Sir Bradley Wiggins has been forced to quit the show after breaking his leg during training.

The five time Olympic champion suffered a leg fracture in training for the show's snow cross and can no longer take part in the show.

Speaking about his injury, Bradley tweeted his fans with the following update...

Despite the painful injury, luckily for Bradley surgery isn't needed, and therefore he is expected to make a full recovery with a few weeks of rest.

A spokesperson for Channel 4 later confirmed the news when they released a statement reading: "Bradley injured his leg during training and although keen to continue in the competition he will no longer take part following the fourth show in the series."

Bradley is the second celebrity to leave the show through injury this year. Model and DJ Vogue Williams was forced to pull out of the show after injuring her knee during a ski cross training session.

Vogue was replaced by former I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here star Amy Willerton, who was hired as a 'stand in' in case of injury.

Despite two celebrities already being forced to leave, The Jump continues on Channel 4 on Sunday.
