As per The Sun, she told: “I didn’t tell anyone, any of the producers, but I went in with a ruptured ACL and a torn meniscus. So I wore a strap on my knee under my trousers that no one knew about.”

“I had to have two operations since the show but I was in agony the whole time I was filming. I told the producers I had a niggle in my knee. I never told them what the problem was.”
