Olympic gymnast Beth Tweddle is suing the makers of The Jump after she fractured her vertebrae on the Channel 4 show.
The London 2012 bronze medallist had to undergo surgery on her neck and spinal cord after she crashed into a barrier during training for the TV programme.
The Jump - which saw celebrities trying several winters sports including bobsleigh and ski jumping - was axed after four series following a string of injuries to contestants.
Tweddle, who is pregnant with her first child, said she was taking legal action to ensure "full accountability for people involved in creating shows like this" and to prevent other people suffering the same fate.
She said: "It's been a long journey and my recovery is still ongoing. I'm not sure I'll ever be 100% again.
