Jodie Kidd is going to replace Sally Bercow in the Channel 4 show The Jump after the 45-year-old broke two ribs.

The wife of House of Commons speaker John Bercow (the one who shouts "order" a lot in parliament when MPs are acting like children) took a tumble while ski training.

She's not the first to be injured in the run-up to this year's series.

Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Ola Jordan pulled out after an accident last month.

The dancer had knee surgery this week and has already been replaced by Chloe Madeley.

Model Jodie is now heading to Innsbruck in Austria to start intensive training for the start of the TV contest early next month.

She's joining celebs like ex-rugby player Mike Tindall (who's married to the Queen's granddaughter Zara Tindall), as well as ex-JLS star JB Gill and dancer Louie Spence.

The 15 contestants have already started training for events including bobsleigh, slalom and ski cross.

The fastest racers in a skeleton bobsleigh will directly qualify for the final stages, while others will have to perform a live ski jump to progress.

Those who jump the shortest distances will be put on a subs' bench to replace any casualties.

All we can say is good luck, sounds like they might all need it.
