The TV presenter was wounded in Afghanistan (Image: Getty) TV and radio presenter JJ Chalmers was once stuck in a nightmare, but now he's 'living a dream'. The Olympics host and former royal marine commando was forced to go through years of intensive treatment and rehab after being injured in a terrifying bomb blast in Afghanistan back in 2011. Despite almost losing his arms, JJ, from Scotland, insists he doesn't regret joining the Marines - describing it as the 'best decision' he's ever made.
After taking part in the inaugural Invictus Games in 2014 and scooping three medals, the TV presenter's career started to flourish again. He went on to cover the Paralympics for Channel 4 and made it to the quarter-finals of Strictly Come Dancing with his pro partner Amy Dowden. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
