The former X Factor star is participating in the punishing series, which presently features The Traitors champion Harry Clark, S Club 7’s Hannah Spearitt, Love Island personality Tasha Ghouri, Rebecca Loos, Conor Benn and Drag Race UK victor Bimini Bon Boulash.
The celebrities are put through their paces taking part in the extreme mental and physical challenges that are required to pass SAS selection.
In the past, Strictly star Pete Wicks was forced to bow out after breaking several ribs and being knocked unconscious, while John Barrowman lasted only 32 minutes last year before quitting.

Some stars followed suit this year, with singer Hannah lasting mere minutes, followed out the door by Louis Spence in the first episode, and not much later when Love Island’s Chloe Burrows and Tasha both handed in their armbands.
Now, Lucy has revealed a horrific incident that occurred as she ripped her labia while she was attached to a harness during a stunt.
She previously revealed she was having reconstructive surgery soon to correct it because it had “never been the same” after filming.
Recalling the moment it happened, she told The Sun: “I was like: ‘This feels really bad. Surely there can’t be 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!'”
She’s now opened up in a new interview with LadBible about how the injury happened, while she was jumping off a viaduct and was in free fall for a few seconds before stopping.
She said: “You hit that sort of lowest point, obviously there’s quite a lot of like ‘yank’ and I knew that my harness was in a bit of an odd position, but you’ve got so much adrenaline when stuff like that’s happening, you can’t really be like, ‘Oh, can I just move this?”‘

“In midair, I was trying to, like, pull on the rope, so like to pull up to relieve some of the tension, in the harness.”
When she went to check herself after the task, she saw blood before a doctor came over and thought she had hurt her leg.
Lucy added in the interview that she was surprised to see how much attention her injury had sparked, saying: “I just think that it’s kind of crazy that men are always like, ‘Oh, my balls, my balls, my balls,’ the second that a woman is like, I’ve got a vulva [it’s a big news story].”

She was left with a black eye on her wedding day in June last year, and said she “hit the sea so hard my filler migrated to the side of my face”.
“By that point I was just in pain everywhere,” she revealed.
