Beth Tweddle has revealed that she is seeing a psychologist to help her move on from her horrifying accident on The Jump.

The former Olympian fractured two vertebrae in her neck after a crash during ski jump training on the Channel 4 show earlier this year.

And speaking on The One Show, she admitted that it is still difficult for her to think about.

"The short of it is I did a jump and I collided with the end barrier," she said. "I'd actually fractured and dislocated my neck so they took a small piece of bone from my hip, put it between the two vertebrae, and I've got a bolt and four screws in there now and it's fusing back together."

She added: "For me it is still quite a hard thing to talk about. And that's why I'm using a psychologist and processing the accident details."

Beth held back tears as she explained that her parents had flown out to watch her that weekend, saying: "I had them by my side. When my brother first walked into the room, I just sobbed. I was just so happy to see him."

And she thanked the public for their support, explaining: "[People said], 'We've had the same injury as you, we know you'll be in a dark place right now but we're now running marathons'.

"That kind of put a smile back on my face, thinking, 'I'm not the only one that's gone through this'."

So does Beth have any regrets about agreeing to take part in The Jump?

"If you could take the accident out of the whole process then of course I don't regret it, but it has been a very hard road and I've been lucky to have so many people to support me on that road," she said.

"I've been really upset, I've been saying to my mum and dad, 'I can't do this, why am I doing this, it's so unfair', and when I was a gymnast I don't remember that aspect."

But she added: "I don't want this accident to define me. I want to be able to go out there and do what I normally do. I love working with children and inspiring them to achieve their dreams. I'm glad to say I pushed through it."
