Speaking to The Sun, former model Calum said: ‘I felt so bad. I felt so guilty. But then I also said, “It’s the name of the game, it has to happen.”
“I just don’t like being someone who ruins someone else’s experience. But it is wild. That’s the thing. You just have to do what you have to do out there.
The incident occurred during the aggressive challenge called Murderball, where contestants were divided into teams of four to fight to get a tire into the goal.

The SAS instructors urged the celebrities to be as brutal as possible, and despite the fact that Jonathan was off limits, which meant no contact, Calum continued with the task.
Calum added: “If he got hurt because I took him down in bounds, so be it.”
“But the fact that I got called out for doing it out of bounds, I was like, ‘Oh no, not only did I get called out for not doing it right, he’s got broken ribs.'”

The brutal task was labeled the Hunger Games in the desert by ex-strictly professional AJ Pritchard, who was horrified after boxing champion Shannon Courtenay gave ex-Brookside star Jennifer Ellison an upper cut.
AJ said: ‘She’s a professional boxer, top cut Jen in the ribs. Come on, it’s not a boxing match.
The injury comes after contestant Maisie Smith was told she was “fucking terrible” after failing to dive backwards into the ocean last week.
