Liam Gallagher's ex Patsy Kensit quits Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins before filming starts

Famous stars have been known to suffer injury while competing on Channel 4's brutal reality show Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins and forced to drop out of the contest. But now one star may have achieved a first for the long-running reality show - by being forced out of the show before they even made it to filming.

Soap icon Patsy Kensit was due to take part in the upcoming new season of the show. However, it appears her training in advance of the physical duration show left her too injured to take part.

Patsy, 57 - famous for playing Sadie King in Emmerdale and Emma Harding in EastEnders - had been taking her involvement in the show seriously and hitting the gym hard in order to get herself prepared for the trials that she would face on the show. Who Dares Wins sees contestants endure physical and psychological tests that the armed forced would experience in order to prove their mettle and determination.

But now it has been revealed that Patsy was sent home when she turned up to take part in the new filming as she had injured herself ahead of the cameras starting to roll. A source has explained that showmakers ordered the actress to return home to avoid any risk of further injury.

A source told The Sun on Sunday: “Patsy had been running at pace on a treadmill while wearing a weighted backpack filled with books and weights as part of her intense training regime. The added weight caused her to lose balance and fall backwards off the machine, bruising her arm and shoulder in the process."

The source added: “She even flew out to Morocco, where the filming was taking place, but production soon spotted the injury and she was sent home.”

The Mirror has contacted representatives of Channel 4 for comment, while a spokesperson for Patsy said: "The production company Minow who make Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins, were amazing the way they looked after Patsy. Their duty of care was second to none and very impressive. Patsy is on the mend and will of course make a full recovery."

Earlier this month, Patsy was spotted with her arm in a sling while she attended a gala performance of the Faulty Towers theatre show in London's West End.

Asked about her injury at the time, the star revealed: "I broke my shoulder in 3 places 3 weeks ago!!! I’m healing and a slight boogie with my besties I’m staying with this week will be a tonic for sure …”

While the star has been enjoying nights out despite her injury, there is one event she has made clear she won't attend - the Oasis reunion tour dates.

Patsy was married to singer Liam Gallagher, 52, from 1997 until 2000 and they share 25-year-old son Lennon Gallagher together. Appearing on Good Morning Britain recently, Patsty revealed she was pleased to see her ex back on tour as Oasis and that her son would have the chance to see his dad perform with the iconic band - who famously split in 2009.

She told the ITV show: "My 24-year-old son, he'll be there and he'll have a lovely time. Great for him to see all of that and I’m happy for his dad, I think it’s a wonderful thing. But I won't be attending."

Oasis kicked off their Live '25 Tour in Cardiff, Wales, earlier this month and this weekend they have been thrilling fans in their native Manchester. Liam and older brother Noel Gallagher, 58, have been singing to 80,000 strong crowds at Heaton Park where they belted out 23 of thier biggest hits.

The brothers - who shocked fans last year by announcing they had buried the hatchet to reform their group and hit the road again - will be on tour until late November. They have 41 dates set over the coming months - with the climax of the tour set to take place on 23 November in Brazil.

The tour has won rave reveiws from fans and critics alike. The Mirror's Daniel Bird said: "Walking out at Heaton Park, you could never have imagined that there was once a feud between the two siblings. Putting on a united front, the two legends walked out to their 2000 track, F***in' In The Bushes, to a crowd of 80,000 people, with the atmosphere instantly becoming electric."
