Skiing coach defends The Jump

Ski instructor to the stars Warren Smith defends The Jump, which some critics have called the most dangerous show on British TV.

28 celebrities have been injured during the show's three series, and Olympic gymnast Beth Tweddle is now recovering in hospital after surgery on her neck.

Smith says the injuries are mainly down to bad luck, and that the show must go on: "It's not easy, it's a challenge. All I've seen this week on the show is a positive, in-camp atmosphere."
