Mark Dolan is second celebrity to get the boot on The Jump as Louis Smith takes the lead
Josie Gibson left last week after she refused to do The Jump
MARK Dolan has become the second celebrity to leave the slopes as he was booted off Channel 4 reality show The Jump.
The second episode of the series saw the funnyman eliminated after he came in last place after undertaking 'the jump'.
He had to take the jump after ending up in the losing team after the contestants tackled the Snow Cross challenge in Austria but had the worst score after managing just 9.2metres.
Mark took his exit in good spirit and even made a joke about David Beckham.
Referencing the ongoing 'Beckileaks' email scandal, he joked to host Davina McCall: "I'm having a worse week than David Beckham!"
He also added: "I mainly did this to meet Caprice so ticked that and I'm still standing."
Olympic gymnast Louis Smith topped the leaderboard for the second week in a row and the remaining contestants include Amy Willerton, Caprice, Emma Parker Bowles, Gareth Thomas, Jade Jones, Jason Robinson, Kadeena Cox, Louis Smith, Lydia Bright, Robbie Fowler and Spencer Matthews.
The Olympics and Tour de France hero, 36, was injured filming the fourth show, which is yet to be broadcast.
Wiggo, knighted in 2013, was recorded fracturing his left leg during intense training.
He flew back to England from Austria and saw a specialist, who told him to stay off his feet for up to six weeks.
Sir Bradley is the latest celeb to be hurt since the extreme winter sports competition started in 2014.
Wiggo, who retired from professional cycling in December, had already torn a calf muscle in the first week but continued on painkillers.
A source said of his latest injury: “He doesn’t need an operation but he does need to rest and that’s why he couldn’t carry on competing.
“He hurt himself in snow-cross training. It’s a cross between ice skating and skiing. It’s like an obstacle course.
“From everything we know the break should heal properly. It is a small fracture, so much so that he had been hoping to be able to carry on from it.
“But the specialist said he needed to keep off it. He is really disappointed not to be able to carry on.”

Viewers will see Wiggo for the next two weeks in recordings made before his accident.
The Sun on Sunday yesterday revealed that bosses begged him and rivals including Spencer Matthews to stop having wild nights out on the lash in Austria.
Comic Mark Dolan, admitted: “There’s been loads of boozing. There was an email about it which has been promptly ignored — it was a duty of care thing.
“Channel 4 don’t want injuries.
"They’d like this to be the series with the fewest injuries.
"And it’s been mentioned we shouldn’t have late nights and drink too much.”
Channel 4 said: “Bradley injured his leg during training and although keen to continue in the competition he will no longer take part.”
