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 –

The World Cup winning England star will be hoping to emulate his sporting prowess on the skis as he goes up against the other celebrities.

Spencer Matthews

Spencer is no stranger to reality TV shows or putting himself to the test after appearing on both I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here – albeit very briefly – and The Bachelor.

And he isn’t the first Made in Chelsea cast member to hit the slopes as he follows in the footsteps of his ex girlfriend Louise Thompson and Mark-Francis Vandelli.

Gareth Thomas

The Welsh rugby hero Gareth Thomas will be competing again with his English rival but this time it’ll be on the slopes instead of the rugby pitch.

Until recently Gareth was the most capped player for his country and he has shown his talent off the pitch too after appearing on ITV’s Dancing on Ice and has taken part in Celebrity Big Brother.

Gareth Thomas odds: 8/1 –

Jake Quickenden

The singer first came to our attention as a contestant on The X Factor in 2002, but Jake failed to impress Nicole Scherzinger at the judges’ houses round.

Since then he’s also enjoyed a stint on I’m A Celebrity get Me Out Of Here.

It may be a while before viewers see him in action on the slopes though, as he’s currently only a reserve on the show.

Jake Quickenden odds: 12/1 –

Kadeena Cox

Paralympic gold medallist Kadeena was part of the triumphant Team GB Paralympic force at the 2016 Rio Games.

The 25-year-old sprint and para-cycling athlete will have the focus and determination that has been part of her training and her career to tackle the tricky ski challenges.

Kadeena Cox odds: 40/1 –

Emma Parker Bowles

The niece of The Duchess of Cornwall is a socialite, model and journalist and another addition to the show’s line-up.

“I am really excited about taking part in The Jump. I have the ability of a mountain goat and am an adrenaline junkie so it’s right up my alley,” the star told The Sun last month as it was announced she would be taking part in the show.

The last member of the extended Royal Family to score highly on the Channel 4 show was Mike Tindall – husband of Zara Philips – who came second in 2015.

Amy Willerton

The model and ex-beauty pageant star is no stranger to reality shows.

She first came to our attention when she wont the Sky series, Signed By Katie Price (she beat Rylan-Clark-Neal into second place), however she then refused to sign a contract with Price’s Black Management team.

She appeared on I’m A Celebrity in 2013 and had a fauxmance with Joey Essex during the show, so it’s no surprise that she already knows fellow contestant Lydia Bright.

Amy Willerton odds: 80/1 –
