Tina Hobley gives stark warning to The Jump contestants as she reveals her shock that TV show is returning after her serious injuries

The actress dislocated her shoulder, broke her arm and suffered injuries to her knee during a nightmare incident in the last series

THE return of controversial TV show the Jump has left crocked contestant Tina Hobley stunned - and she confessed she hopes her elbow injuries sustained during the last series won't last throughout her life.

The actress revealed her "shock" after Channel 4 revealed the programme - which sees celebrities take on a host of winter sports - will be back on screen in 2017.

Last year's action saw stars including Olympian Beth Tweddle, Made in Chelsea's Mark Francis and Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding all left with broken bones and niggles, as well as Tina, who suffered a broken arm, dislocated elbow and injuries to her knee and shoulder when she attempted a ski jump that the crew had failed to clear.

Tina, who was left in crippling pain with a dislocated elbow and is still using crutches to get around, said: "I'm still in shock that it's going again, but of course they will have learnt from their mishaps and hopefully there won't be any more accidents."

"It has been a really tough year, I'm not going to deny that, but we're out the other side and I am hoping I won't be left with any long-term problems."

As if she needed to confirm she wouldn't be making a comeback, she : "The Jump is behind me and I will never do that show again."

Tina, 45, was seen hobbling around on crutches at a VIP Disney event last month.

She looked glam in a black coat with a wide neckline, wearing a smart black dress underneath.

The TV star was seen clutching a bag under one arm while she balanced on a black stick on the other.

Despite her horrific injuries, Tina still has her sights set on the ski slope.

She added: "I'm very, very upset about not skiing for half-term with my children as I have been going for the last 30 years and I am desperate to ski again."

The last season saw seven of the 12 show contestants withdrawing due to injury.

Host Davina McCall has revealed the new Jump contestants will now have "a long period" of extra training after a string of shocking injuries in the last series.

Furious viewers called for stricter safety precautions following the many broken bones and muscle injuries, and now host Davina has insisted the next batch of stars will be given further training.

Appearing on Lorraine, she said: "This year we’ve got them out for a very long period before they start filming."

She added: "There is tonnes of training."

Rushing to defend the show, she told the daytime TV show host: "If you think of the chance of a little sprain in a week’s holiday – they are out there for eight weeks.

"But they’re very brave."

The Jump will return to Channel 4 in 2017.
