Olympic heptathlete and former runner up of The Jump, Louise Hazel, has advised athletes Jade Jones, Bradley Wiggins and Kadeena Cox, to "withdraw from the competition". Hazel, who was runner-up in the Channel 4 skiing competition two years ago, told 5 live's Nihal Arthanayake and Eleanor Oldroyd that the risk for competing athletes is "too great". She herself suffered a whiplash injury when competing in the show, with other athletes such as Olympic gymnast, Beth Tweddle, suffering serious neck injuries. Hazel said: "You kind of think, yeah it鈥檚 a skiing trip, you know that there鈥檚 going to be risks. It鈥檚 not a matter of will you get hurt 鈥� yes you will 鈥� it鈥檚 a case of when".
