Boxing Challenge Turns Dangerous
In the latest episode, the 38-year-old rugby veteran was paired with Ovie, 33, for a boxing match challenge. The task, designed to test the physical endurance and resilience of the contestants, quickly escalated.
Ovie landed the first punch, setting the tone for a fierce contest. As Robshaw struggled to recover, Ovie kept the pressure on, delivering a series of punches in quick succession.
Injury Forces Robshaw’s Exit
Just moments after the whistle blew, Robshaw shouted that he had dislocated his shoulder. A medical examination followed, where Dr. Raj, the show’s physician, confirmed the injury.
“Your shoulder is unstable and could pop at any time,” Dr. Raj informed Robshaw. “For that reason, I’m going to have to medically withdraw you from the course.”
Surgery and Recovery
Within hours, Robshaw was flown out for surgery to repair the damage. Reflecting on the incident, he explained, “I had to get an operation because I’d popped my shoulder out. The ligament was loose, so they reattached it to keep it in place.”
Robshaw’s departure marks a dramatic moment in this season of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, as contestants continue to face extreme physical and mental challenges.
