The former Wanted singer was left in excruciating pain after he tore the tendons in his wrist when he fell on the slopes of Austria while training as a reserve on the winter sports show.

Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, he said: "I've hurt my hand, yeah. We were practicing the air jump and I landed on my hand and pulled all of the tendons and ligaments in my wrist. That did actually really hurt. But we push on."

Despite his damaged wrist, the 27-year-old singer is still on standby to jump in to the tough competition if one of the other celebrities are forced to drop out due to extreme injury.

He explained: "I landed back in the UK yesterday. It's nice to be back in reality a little bit to be honest with you. But, I had a wicked time out there. I am on standby for the next two weeks. So I might still be doing the show."

And the handsome singer is secretly hoping a member of the line-up - including Beth Tweddle, Rebecca Adlington, Sid Owen and James 'Arg' Argent - pulls out of the competition because he'd "love" to slip into his thermals and hit the slopes.

He added with a giggle: "I'd love to do the show because I had such a great time out there."
