The Jump (series 3)
The Jump returned for a third series on 31 January 2016.[1] It is once again hosted by Davina McCall live from Austria and it was broadcast weekly instead of its usual nightly format. This was reported to be the last in the series of The Jump due to low ratings,[2] however Channel 4 later denied these rumours as being "categorically untrue".[3]

Criticism
Several viewers have demanded that the show be cancelled following the reported injuries of three castmembers in just the first two weeks of filming.[28] Tina Hobley suffered a dislocated elbow on 4 February.[29] She was released, but has left the competition.[30] On 7 February, it was announced that Rebecca Adlington would leave the show following a dislocated shoulder and Beth Tweddle would also leave the show following a broken neck.[31] Similarly, Tom Parker tore ligaments in his hand.[32]
