Radio 1Xtra DJ Yasmin Evans hospitalised by Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins

Radio 1Xtra DJ Yasmin Evans was hospitalised following her brutal involvement on Channel 4 reality show Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.

The 29-year-old watched her toenails turn black and her feet bleed after she caught trench foot following her involvement on the show.

Yasmin – who was booted from the armed forces themed reality show on Monday night – was physically ravaged by the intense trials she was put though, and her feet were infected after enduring tasks that left her drenched in rain and water.

After filming the show in the Scottish wilds, Yasmin was rushed to hospital and says she couldn’t walk for days as her feet swelled up and were left seeping.

She revealed to The Sun: “I ended up in hospital and couldn’t walk for four days.”

She explained how she began to feel unwell while taking part in a task on the show – and gave a graphic description of the effect on her body.

She said: “I looked down at my feet and I just thought, ‘This is not OK’. My toenails were almost hanging off.”

Taking to Instagram Live after her exit from the show was aired, Yasmin gave further details of her injury – and gave graphic details of the foot infection she endured.

“I really suffered from having two major infections in my feet,” she said - revealing she was diagnosed with trench foot, an infection that was prevalent among soldiers in World War I after they were left standing around in waterlogged trenches.

She explained: “Your socks are constantly wet. It’s a World War injury. The boots are really hard. Basically my toenail was black and one of them was split in the middle and was constantly bleeding.”

She also said she would do the show again – but: “I would rip off my toenails before I went in there. They’re going to fall out anyway.”

During the Instagram Live chat, Yasmin was joined by fellow contestant and Hollyoaks str Nikki Sanderson.

Yasmin shared photos of her swollen, infected feet – gaining sympathy from fans, but Nikki joked they looked “Delish!”

The BBC Radio host then assured fans her feet: “are ok now”.
