Ben Cohen has lost two teeth and needed 20 stitches after an accident on The Jump.
The retired rugby star is the latest contestant to suffer injuries on the Channel 4 show, in which celebrities attempt to master various winder sports, such as ski cross, slalom, bobsleigh and speed skating.
Despite only recently joining the show, Ben caused injury to his face in training, after crashing into safety pads at high speed.
He was treated immediately after damaging his teeth and lips.
Ben took to Twitter to tell fans: ‘Morning!! Back skiing today after my accident. 20 stitches and 2 lost teeth. #BabbaLip’.
He added: ‘I actually used my face to stop me. Totally unplanned though.’
