Pete Wicks was knocked unconscious and broke his ribs.
Wicks refused, however, and insisted on finishing the task and swimming back to shore — despite also breaking his ribs. Once back at shore, Wicks was checked over and it was quickly realised that his ribs were broken. Later, Wicks was told he was being medically withdrawn from the show and he was visibly upset and annoyed by the situation. In a statement, Wicks said that swimming was his strong suit, so he hadn't been worried about the task beforehand.
"I genuinely thought this would be the challenge for me to show what I f*cking got. And I got it wrong, I got it very wrong. I think my leg got a little bit caught in the bag and I went straight down onto the bag, knocked myself out and broke my ribs," Wicks said. "We got to shore and then I realised, 'f*ck I've actually hurt myself here.' I felt dazed and confused. I was struggling to move my upper body. Basically, I think where I'd hit the bag, and I think just the impact of being unconscious and everything else, I was very confused."
