CALUM BEST didn’t inherit his dad George’s footballing gifts – but he likes to put in a crunching tackle.
The Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins contestant broke co-star Jonathan Broom-Edwards’ ribs during the Murder Ball section on this Sunday’s episode, forcing the Paralympic high-jumper out of the competition.

Murderball is one the most aggressive challenges on the C4 show filmed in Jordan, which has been called “Hunger Games in the desert” by ex-Strictly star AJ Pritchard, who is also competing.

Boxing champ Shannon Courtenay gave ex-Brookside star Jennifer Ellison a vicious uppercut – to the horror of dancer AJ.
