Emmerdale icon forced to leave Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins following injury

However, after hitting the gym to prepare for the brutal tests – which in the past have included jumping out of helicopters, carrying weights up mountains and more – Kensit reportedly injured herself.

First reported by The Sun, the injury occurred while running on a treadmill while wearing a weighted backpack.

Despite the injury, Kensit hoped she would be well enough to appear, and maintained her public appearances by attending a press night for Fawlty Towers: The Play in a sling on 3rd July.

She then flew to Morocco in order to begin filming, but considering what the squad had planned for this year’s celebrities, the decision was made to send her home.

A representative for Kensit told RadioTimes.com: “The production company Minow who make Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins, were amazing the way they looked after Patsy.

“Their duty of care was second to none and very impressive. Patsy is on the mend and will of course make a full recovery.”

Kensit wrote about her injury on Instagram last week, saying in a post: “I broke my shoulder in 3 places 3 weeks ago!!! I’m healing and a slight boogie with my besties I’m staying with this week will be a tonic for sure…. Have a great weekend.”

Currently, it is not known who else will appear on the next series, with the cast being kept secret ahead of the announcement.

However, it has been rumoured that Gladiators star Phantom will be joining the show to put his strength to a brand new test.

Other rumoured contestants include former rugby player Ben Cohen, TikTok star Jack Joseph, reality star Dani Dyer and England cricketer Graeme Swann.

The series has now begun filming in Morocco, with ex SAS operatives Mark ‘Billy’ Billingham, Jason Fox and Chris Oliver ready to put the famous faces through their mental and physical paces.
