The 21-year-old pop star was shooting scenes for the channel's new programme 'Drive' when the dramatic incident took place, with Ella's car flipping over on its side.

A source said: "The weather was terrible and they ignored all advice. She could have been killed, and it prompted complete panic. Ella was very shaken afterwards."

The jaw-dropping accident was watched by some of the other celebrity contestants, including Louis Walsh, Angus Deayton and Johnny Vegas, and created panic in their ranks.

The insider told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "The other celebrities watching on at the track were shocked to see Ella's accident, and it left them incredibly nervous.

"For a while they said they didn't want to take part in the show anymore at all and wouldn't come out of the green room.

"It took a lot of persuasion from the team to get them back out there, and a lot of reassurance, but in light of what has happened on 'The Jump' you'd expect them to be very wary of accidents.

"It was a lucky escape."
