Celebrity SAS star faces surgery after severe show injury

Lucy Spraggan, the X Factor alum, is set for surgery after a harness stunt on Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins left her with a torn labia and heavy bleeding. The incident occurred during production ahead of the next episode airing on August 10. Spraggan says the injury is unusual and required immediate medical attention on set.

The singer also endured other injuries on the course, including a near tooth loss and a fall into the sea that displaced cheek filler. She described the moment of injury, noting that a tight harness likely caused the tear and that there was significant bleeding before the on set doctor could assess the damage.

The episode highlights the real risks behind demanding reality TV challenges. While productions chase dramatic moments, safety should come first, and harness design, medical coverage, and rapid response protocols deserve scrutiny after such injuries. This case may prompt viewers and regulators to demand clearer safety standards from producers.

Media coverage often focuses on spectacle, but medical consequences remind audiences that these stunts are physically taxing and not without cost. A thoughtful response from the show’s team could include publishing enhanced safety guidelines and offering longer recovery windows for participants when needed.

Highlights

The season may push the safety conversation beyond the studio walls.
