Who won The Jump 2017? Spencer Matthews crowned the winner of celebrity ski show
THE MOST dangerous show on television is over and Spencer Matthews has been crowned the winner.
The Jump has been plagued by serious injuries in past years, but that didn't stop a fresh batch of celebrities signing up - and the show claimed its first victim in Vogue Williams, followed shortly after by Bradley Wiggins.
So who were the contestants this year and what were their odds of winning?
(odds true as of March 4)
Louis Smith
Taking part in The Jump has been an ambition for Louis since the show began – as he revealed on Instagram during training in December.
“So damn excited for The Jump @channel4 been wanting to do it from series 1. Look out for things the show’s not seen before,” he wrote alongside a snap of himself on the snow.
The 27-year-old may also be hoping to improve his public image after causing outrage when a video of him mocking Islam leaked last year.
Louis Smith odds: 4/6 -
