Pete, along with the other 13 recruits, had to climb a platform and fall backwards into open water in the final task. But for Pete, water challenges come with bad memories.
In the series that aired last year, Pete jumped out of a helicopter and as he hit the water, Pete was knocked unconscious and the impact also broke several of his ribs . The star consequently had to leave the series - which is why he decided to return this year. Prior to jumping off of the platform, Pete spoke to the camera where he addressed the incident from the last series.
He said: “Last time I thought water would be my strong point and I knocked myself unconscious and I broke a couple of ribs. I cannot be the person who f****d it twice. Pete then confessed that he’s ‘not been in open water since’ and that he’s developed a ‘weird fear of the sea’.
Pete also said he’s experienced ‘flashbacks’ from the incident - but admits he’s not sure if they really are memories. Pete did fearlessly face the challenge and passed with flying colours as he hit the water uninjured. Sign up to OK!'s TV new.
