The 33-year-old singer was one of four stars to quit the gruelling Channel 4 show in Sunday's (12.09.21) episode, and afterwards he opened up about rupturing his pectoral muscle and his bicep during a speedboat challenge, which was filmed last year.
He wrote on Instagram: "Didn’t end how I wanted…. Believe it or not I was loving every second, I found out exactly what I needed to know about myself!! I will always give 100% and I said the only way I would leave the show is in an ambulance and unfortunately that’s what happened…. I’m back to normal now after a year of pain and physio!! The show was the best/ hardest thing I’ve ever done it tested me to my limits, but it also told me that I am who I thought I was, I’ll never give up, I’ll help my mates, I will lift the mood and will always remain positive, even getting driven away in the ambulance I was positive about the outcome and I knew I would come back bigger and better. (sic)"
Jake also took a swipe at social media trolls, insisting they "wouldn't last a minute" on the tough programme.
He added: "I would like to thanks the staff @antmiddleton @melvyndownes @stazthrudark @jason_carl_fox @billingham22b and also the rest of the cast who honestly worked so hard and only us guys will know how hard it truly was, nobody has anything to be ashamed of, I’d love some of the keyboard athletes to give it ago, they wouldn’t last a f****** minute!! Peace and thanks as always for the love and support. (sic)"
What's more, Saira Khan was forced to quit the show early after she suffered a broken ankle while mud wrestling with Ulrika Jonsson.
She said: "I've never howled like it. I was in agony."
Shanaze Reade also had to withdraw after she broke her shoulder, and Vicky Pattison departed the programme after a gruelling oil drum challenge.
