Gogglebox star Dom Parker has suspected concussion after being injured in a skiing accident.

The owner of the Salutation in Knightrider Street, Sandwich, and star of Channel 4's Gogglebox was injured on a 500 metre course, infamous for being dangerous.

It was part of his ski training for reality TV show The Jump, due to be aired on Channel 4 on Sunday.

It is believed he hurt his shoulder on the course in Austria and is being monitored by specialists.

It is not yet known whether he will continue with the show.

Speaking before the crash, in a statement on the Channel 4 website, Mr Parker said: "I've skied on and off since I was five years old. It's quite exciting - a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be trained up to do this stuff.

"I'm not expecting to win, probably because I'm a bit old and a bit fat. But there's a part of me, deep down, thinking 'If I'm going to do it, I'd like to be the winner'."

Mr Parker is one of many celebrities taking part in the reality TV programme which sees famous faces pushed to the limit by undertaking extreme winter sports.
