Former Australian soap star Kimberley Davies has been airlifted to hospital after an accident during I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.
Davies suffered a shoulder injury while trying to jump from a helicopter into a lake on a private property near the town of Uki in northern NSW today at about 03:30 UK time. The town is a short distance from Mount Misery.
Davies was taking part in a 'Bushtucker Trial' in which she had to jump out of a helicopter and aim herself, like an arrow, at a target on the lake. Also taking part in the trial was actress Sheree Murphy.
Roger Fry, a pilot with the Westpac Helicopter Service, said: "She jumped OK but fell awkwardly into the water and suffered an injury to her shoulder."
Davies, 32, a former Neighbours actor, was taken to Tweed Heads hospital. It has since been confirmed that the actor had suffered only a fractured rib.
"I believe she was quite stable," Fry said after speaking to his crew members who helped Davies.
"It was a quick pick-up and transfer to the hospital at Tweed Heads ."
Yesterday, Davies said: “I’m just so miserable. It’s not the people – it’s the missing my kids is the main thing, it’s the hugest thing.
“I can’t stay another 10 nights.”
The following statement was issued by Granada, which produces I'm A celebrity for ITV.
An ITV spokesman issued the following statement: “Granada take the health and safety of all celebrities and crew extremely seriously and, as is the case with all Bushtucker Trials, a comprehensive risk assessment had been carried out. Kimberley had been given a full safety briefing beforehand when she was told that she must keep her arms down at her sides and her legs straight when entering the water.
‘She successfully completed the first of her two jumps landing on a section of the target which was worth two stars.
“But on the second jump, when she brought her right hand up to her face to hold her nose, her elbow was at an angle as she entered the water.
“Rescue divers were immediately on hand, as was the programme’s chief paramedic who assessed Kimberley’s condition in the water and she was transferred to shore.
“An ambulance paramedic team quickly arrived and, given the remote location, decided to call in an air ambulance which took her to hospital where further treatment and evaluation revealed that she may have suffered a hairline rib fracture.
“She will be staying in hospital overnight and has been visited by her husband Jason.
“The helicopter contractor has undertaken somewhere in the region of 3,000 such jumps without prior incident and have Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) approval - CASA has the primary responsibility for the maintenance, enhancement and promotion of the safety of civil aviation in Australia.
“The contractor does this activity on a regular basis, training divers to jump from helicopters normally into the sea. The height of the jump and speed of the helicopter used in the Bushtucker Trial is typically that used for a person undertaking their first jump.
“The trial has been performed on several occasions for TV – Fear Factor and Scream If You Want to Get Off.”

she might be getting abit of help from her fellow Aussies to get out of this one 
Wasn't she supposed to be the tough Aussie shelia, who'd camped out before in the bush and wouldn't be bothered by it all 
My hb jumps from a helicopter now and then from 10 metres (about 33ft) to the sea because of his work 
, and he hasn't never hurt himself by doing it. But I wish that she isn't suffering from latent Osteoporosis?
