Josie Gibson suffers first injury of The Jump as she slams on her back during final day of practice in London
JOSIE Gibson has suffered the first injury of the new series of The Jump.
The Big Brother star lost her balance and slammed on her back during the final day of practice in London.
As she lost her balance, Josie went speeding down the slopes as she struggled to pull her skis out from under her.
An assistant quickly sped down to the reality star, who was wearing a bright pink jacket.
As she finally stopped at the bottom of the practice slopes, a trainer in a high-vis jacket helped remove her skis and checked if she was OK.
Josie lay sprawled on the snow before slowly getting back on her feet.
The Sun Online exclusively revealed last month that the Big Brother winner would be taking to the slopes despite warnings from previous contestants.
The Channel 4 show has become known as the 'most dangerous show on TV' following a number of high-profile injuries.

However, Josie is determined to master the sport with a source telling us: “Josie has been training hard for the show and really throwing herself into it.
“She’s been having ski lessons to try and make sure she doesn’t embarrass herself on the slopes and she’s really taken to it.”
The stars taking to the slopes will risk injury as they compete, but after a host of serious injuries plaguing participants, the show doubled its training schedule to help keep the new stars safe.
Those taking part in this year's series include Vogue Williams, Spencer Matthews, Amy Wilerton, footballer Robbie Fowler, socialite Emma Parker Bowles, Jake Quickenden, Olympians Jade Jones and Louis Smith, rugby stars Jason Robinson and Gareth Thomas, Towie's Lydia Bright and model Caprice.
