Tina Hobley on her horror accident: 'I haven't been able to drive, dress or bath unaided'
Actress Tina Hobley has spoken for the first time about the huge impact on her life and her family following the horrific fall she suffered in Channel 4 reality show The Jump.
"For much of the year I haven't been able to drive, dress, wash my hair or have a bath unaided," she told HELLO! in an exclusive interview. "My daughter has had to help me put my clothes on. And for months at a time I haven't been able to take the kids to school, run errands, or do any of the things I love like yoga, cycling or walking any kind of distance.
Tina opened up about her injuries following The Jump
"My injuries have had a huge impact on my life and on the family."
While it initially seemed that she had suffered comparatively straightforward injuries on the show, she now reveals for the first time the full extent of what happened.
"I went back to London after the accident thinking I would only be in plaster for seven weeks but it turns out my injuries were worse than first thought. I had three major traumas," explains the actress.
"My elbow came out of its socket and my arm was broken in two places; I tore my rotator cuff in my shoulder – a common rugby injury which has ended careers – and I had a full rupture of my ACL [anterior cruciate ligament] in the knee.

"I look at my body in a very different way now. My body is so precious and I wouldn't put my body or my family through that trauma again," Tina says, adding that she is due to have another operation, on her knee, this month.
And she also says she has lost out on various job opportunities since she was injured.
"I was gutted because a meeting for my dream job – in the drama series Broadchurch – came up just after the injury. I couldn't make it because I was in plaster. I had been waiting two years for that meeting."
