The Jump has been hit with yet more drama thanks to Gareth Thomas dropping out.
The Welsh rugby great and ex-Celebrity Big Brother star officially withdrew from the competition late on Tuesday (March 7) for "personal reasons", a Channel 4 spokesperson told BBC News.
Replacing him for this weekend's grand finale will be TOWIE star Lydia Bright, who'd been eliminated last weekend after stumbling in the air jump.
The Jump - which has attracted lots of criticism for its extreme sports competition - has faced several contestant withdrawals throughout the series so far.
Model Vogue Williams dropped out even before the first episode when she suffered a knee injury in the practice sessions, but has expressed hopes of returning next year.

Once the competition actually kicked off, champion cyclist Bradley Wiggins was forced to withdraw after suffering a serious leg injury on the slopes.
Most recently, model Caprice also quit the Channel 4 series after falling ill before the quarter-final round.
Gareth Thomas's departure leaves Amy Willerton, Emma Parker Bowles, Jason Robinson, Kadeena Cox, Louis Smith, Spencer Matthews and the now-reinstated Lydia Bright going head-to-head in a series of gruelling competitions to crown this year's winner.
Davina McCall will be calling all of the action from the Austrian slopes when The Jump grand finale kicks off at 8.30pm on Sunday (March 12) on Channel 4.
