EXCLUSIVE 'Everyone is suffering': Producers fear Tumble stars are battling too many gruelling injuries to make it to final
BBC One's pilot gymnastics project Tumble is proving to be a bigger hurdle than first thought, with show producers worried that the celebrities won't make it to next week's final.
With numerous injuries and extreme fatigue plaguing the six remaining stars, there are concerns that the competition is becoming too difficult for the amateur gymnasts to cope with.
This week's show saw the celebrities perform two routines and face a public vote for the first time, which has lead them into a gruelling schedule of twice a day training sessions, every week day.

Grueling: Amelle Berrabeh and the rest of the Tumble stars are suffering too many injuries to reach the finals
In attempt to up their game for viewer votes this weekend, and with the hope of securing a place in next week's final, the stars' routines featured bigger and more challenging lifts, meaning more accidents and far more aches and pains.
Remaining female stars Amelle Berrabah, Sarah Harding and Lucy Mecklenburgh have all suffered nasty falls while learning a new gymnastics discipline for Saturday's show, the beam.
A show insider told MailOnline: 'The show’s producers are worried the celebrities will fall on live television this weekend, the hope is that the celebs can limp on and soldier through to the final next Saturday.'

TOWIE star Lucy has been desperately pushing herself so that she can impress the nation in the Tumble semi-finals this Saturday.
But the 23-year-old worked herself a little too hard during rehearsals on Friday morning and accidentally gave herself a painful black eye.
'It really knocked her for six,' an insider exclusively told MailOnline.

At the time of the accident, Lucy had been trying to master the front somersault.
The Tumble insider explained that she had been determined to learn more daring moves after the judges branded her last routine 'too easy'.
Former Girls Aloud singer Sarah has also been feeling the strain of an intense regime, sharing her injuries with her 16k Instagram followers.

Forced to perform for a second time in Saturday's live show, the female stars performed without their professional partners on the beam.
The boys, meanwhile, Peter Duncan, Bobby Lockwood, Carl Froch and Ian 'H' Watkins will tackle the dangerous parallel bars, which Bobby and Carl are said to be particularly struggling with.
Catch Tumble at 6pm on BBC One next Saturday
