Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins has recorded the worst celebrity injury in the show’s history.
English singer Lucy Spraggan, 34, has revealed she ‘ripped her labia’ while filming the gruelling Channel 4 military training series – an ordeal that left her bleeding, in agony, and now facing reconstructive surgery.
Lucy, who is close friends with music mogul Simon Cowell, 65, after rising to fame on The X Factor in 2012, believes the injury could have been caused by a harness during a physically demanding task.
Speaking to The Sun, she said: ‘I ripped my labia – it was bad. That’s not a common injury. Actually, genuinely, that’s never been the same, so much so I’m having some surgery soon to correct it.
‘I don’t really know even what happened, I guess the harness was tight. I was like: “This feels really bad. Surely there can’t be anything.” And I looked and there was a tear, there was lots of blood, and the doctor came over and I turned around,
‘Because at that point, you literally don’t care about anything. Dignity has gone. It was like: “Oh my God, I thought it was your leg.” And I was like: “No, no, it’s not!”

However, Lucy wasn’t the only contestant to suffer brutal injuries on the show.
Former TOWIE star Pete Wicks, 36, was knocked unconscious and broke his ribs, while fellow X Factor alum Jake Quickenden, 36, tore muscles in his arm and chest.
Meanwhile, former Health Secretary Matt Hancock, 46, reportedly developed trenchfoot and nearly choked to death during one punishing task.
However, Lucy’s SAS woes didn’t end with the harness.
During filming, she also nearly knocked a tooth out, fainted, and face-planted into the sea after jumping from a helicopter onto a boat, which left her with a black eye and permanently displaced facial filler.
The injury was so bad that it was still visible on her wedding day in June 2024.
Lucy also revealed that the force of hitting the water was so strong that it caused her facial filler to shift to one side.
By that time, she was experiencing pain all over, and once she returned home, she needed to have the filler dissolved.

The interview comes after the Daily Mail reported that Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins stars will reportedly receive their full appearance fee even if they drop out early.
The likes of S Club singer Hannah Spearitt and former Love Island star Tasha Ghouri have pulled out of the gruelling Channel 4 show.
But according to The Sun, even stars who decide to pack it in themselves still get the full fee they were promised upon signing up.
Hannah, who only lasted a minute before bowing out, will still reportedly earn an impressive £10K for her brief appearance.
A source said: ‘Hannah Spearitt, Chloe Burrows and Tasha Ghouri will all have been paid over £10k – some as much as £20k – but unlike other reality shows, they do get paid if they pull out.
‘So even though Hannah only lasted one minute, she’ll still get paid over £10k for that minute.
‘It’s well worth stars signing up even if they don’t think they can complete the show just for the payday – it might be embarrassing taking their armband off early in the show, but it’s good money!’
Daily Mail has contacted Channel 4 and reps for Hannah Spearritt, Chloe Burrows and Tasha Ghouri for comment.
