GETHIN Jones suffered a “serious' fall live on air as medics rushed to help him during his Comic Relief Challenge.
The daring duo are putting their stamina to the test in an epic endurance event.
Gethin and Helen Skelton were set to finish the challenge at 10am on Friday, but he took a huge tumble when he fell on the rink.
The TV presenter crashed into the side of the wall and hit the deck, resulting in him hurting his back.
Morning Live host Sara Cox updated fans on Gethin after the shock injury.
She told viewers: “Now, this is really horrible. Gethin has just had – this is really serious – a massive fall. Look at this. He's so stiff anyway and just seized up.”
“Genuinely it was make-or-break whether he could finish the challenge but he's determined the get to that finish line.”
BBC Breakfast hosts Nina Warhurst and Ben Thompson also caught up with Gethin and Helen during the final hour.
Gethin said: “I actually don't know where to start”, before encouraging Helen to speak by saying: “Go on Hel, you go.”
Helen said: “We're so tired. He's literally just stacked it into the side but he didn't want to miss out on speaking to you guys and the rules are we have to keep skating the whole time.
“It has been more of a challenge than what we were expecting.”
Nina said: “Gethin, I've never seen you like this”, to which he responded: “I'm sorry. My back has been pretty bad.”
