Christine McGuinness broke down in tears during a training session on ITV's newest show, The Games.
The programme sees celebrities compete in a series of athletic events after undergoing 12 weeks of gruelling training. The 12 familiar faces will go head-to-head in a range of sporting challenges, across a week of live shows amidst fierce competition.
Hosted by Holly Willoughby and Freddie Flintoff, the show sees contestants pulled out of their comfort zones to be coached as athletes, swimmers and cyclists, to compete in the hope of coming top of the medals table and being crowned the winner of the competition.

Former Miss Liverpool Christine is taking part alongside other celebs including Coronation Street actor Colson Smith, Emmerdale actor Rebecca Sarker and songwriter Chelcee Grimes.
During a hurdles training session, Christine told co-presenter Alex Scott she didn't mentally feel up to performing. She then burst into tears and walked off camera.
She said: "Physically I'm fine and I want to do it, it's purely mentally." Christine told viewers she was diagnosed with autism last year and said she will "stay where [she is] comfortable for as long as [she] can".
The 34-year-old sobbed as she said: "The thought of the crowds, the people and the gun. I don't actually know how I'm going to do it". Christine said she was "more scared of the stadium" than the sport itself.
The Games airs each night this week at 9pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
