Right Back Where We Started From: First time skier Sinitta is the latest celebrity to be eliminated from The Jump

The Jump opened with a sad goodbye to former Fort Boyard presenter Melinda Messenger due to concussion, with Davina McCall welcoming a wrapped up Donal McIntyre to replace her.
Bundled in extra layers of bubble wrap for security, it seems the show was especially keen to keep him safe as it was revealed he was the last person they had on standby for the competitors who are currently dropping like flies.
This evening's edition of The Jump focused on the four remaining women - Anthea Turner, Sinitta, Kimberly Wyatt and Laura Hamilton - competing in the giant slalom ski race.

Former Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt was first up, who admitted frighteningly beforehand that she had 'never skied down a mountain' before. 
Although you would have never of guessed as she began the slalom confidently, in a pink and black ski suit and pink lipstick.
The dancer glided effortlessly down the 1km course weaving carefully in and out of the 22 gates, picking up more pace towards the end, emerging smiling and triumphant after exclaiming 'I know I gave it my all!' The dancer completed it in 53.44 seconds, making her the first name on the leader board. 
Triumphant: Kimberly was extremely happy with her speed on the course

Laura, who was told in training that she needed to relearn how to ski after years of skiing in her mistaken self-taught style, was dubbed by trainer Graham 'naturally fast'
The TV presenter, who has only just given 11 weeks ago to her baby boy, skied speedily out of the gate in a blue and white jumpsuit, tearing around corners, but smashed into a gated mid course.
Saying afterwards of her achievement: 'I only had a c-section 11 weeks ago, so I was very impressed with my stomach muscles. I am sure I got a time penalty as I ripped the gate.'
Laura's time was 55.7, just after two seconds slower than Kimberly.

Sinitta, who admitted in training the only sport she has ever done is ballet, didn't sound too confident in training. 'I didn't think I could do well in this show, and now I think I could be a contender.'
The singer who looked fierce in an orange jump suit and braided bunches, was off to a slow start out of the gate, with more snow ploughing than skiing, and almost three seconds slower than Kimberly, Sinitta was at the bottom of the leader board with 1 minute 14 seconds.
Host Davina confronted TV presenter Anthea's fear of speed, as she was pictured wearing a yellow ski suit with blue criss-cross patterns.
Need for speed: Anthea wasn't quite fast enough so had to jump with Sinitta

Off to a tentative start, Anthea was heard chanting to herself throughout the slalom 'keep down', but looked determined and managed to weave in and out of each flag neatly, ultimately coming third with 56.14.
In the bottom two, Anthea and Sinitta have to jump to decide who would get through to the 90mph bobsleigh round in the next part of the competition.
Anthea concluded: 'I'm ok, i'll jump its fine. I'm going to go for mummy bear, the k24.'
Sinitta went first, landing her jump perfectly in a glamorous blood orange and leopard print jumpsuit, with berry purple sleeves, despite only landing 9.5 metres.
Anthea was declared the winner, jumping an impressive 11 meters, which secured her place in the next stage of the competition.
