# The Jump series 3

The Jump returned for a third series on 31 January 2016. It is once again hosted by Davina McCall live from Austria and it was broadcast weekly instead of its usual nightly format. This was reported to be the last in the series of The Jump due to low ratings, however Channel 4 later denied these rumours as being "categorically untrue".

## Contestants

The twelve celebrities taking part were revealed on 16 January 2016. On 4 February, Tina Hobley was forced to withdraw from the competition after dislocating her elbow while training for the ski jump. She was replaced by Tom Parker. On 7 February, Rebecca Adlington was forced to withdraw from the competition and was replaced by series 2 contestant Heather Mills. Also on 7 February, Beth Tweddle withdrew from the series after injuring her back after colliding with a barrier. On 9 February, Mark-Francis Vandelli withdrew from the show after fracturing his ankle during training. They were replaced by Joe Swash and Ben Cohen. On 11 February, Linford Christie withdrew from the competition due to a hamstring injury and was replaced by previously eliminated competitor James Argent. On 13 February, Zara Holland left the series after producers said she was unable to cope with the competition.

## Criticism

Several viewers have demanded that the show be cancelled following the reported injuries of three castmembers in just the first two weeks of filming. Tina Hobley suffered a dislocated elbow on 4 February. She was released, but has left the competition. On 7 February, it was announced that Rebecca Adlington would leave the show following a dislocated shoulder and Beth Tweddle would also leave the show following a broken neck. Similarly, Tom Parker tore ligaments in his hand.
