Helen Skelton Broke Nikki Sanderson’s Nose During Reality Show SAS: Who Dares Wins
Helen Skelton has signed up for gruelling survival show Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, and she’s trying her best over there.
Incident occurred when the former Blue Peter presenter, 36, got so stuck in the show taht she broke nose of a fellow contestant — soap actress Nikki Sanderson — after the instructors told them to box each other.
Helen revealed: “I had to fight Nikki and that was tough because I really like her.
“She hit me a lot and I only hit her a couple of times, but when I did she was like, ‘Oh my God, I think you’ve broken my nose’.
“I might have only hit her a couple of times but I connected. It’s so weird having to fight someone you like, I didn’t want to hit her, then she hit me once and I was like, ‘OK!’”
The brutal Channel 4 show sees a team of former Special Forces soldiers, including hardman Ant Middleton, put a group of celebrities through an adapted version of the unforgiving selection process wannabes must pass to join the Army’s elite regiments.
Helen battled through in a team including former Strictly pro Brendan Cole, 43, ex-footballer John Fashanu, 57, and TV presenters Anthea Turner, 59, and Joey Essex, 29, as well as Nikki.
