Your support makes all the difference.Lady Victoria Hervey has become the latest celebrity to be eliminated from winter sports competition The Jump.
The socialite, who is a life-long skier, lost out in the jump against former England rugby centre Mike Tindall, Made In Chelsea star Louise Thompson, Paralympian Jon-Allan Butterworth, and Chloe Madeley.
Lady V, as she is referred to in the Channel 4 show, jumped a distance of 13.5 metres after being immediately sent to do the jump at the start of last night's show following a "shock announcement" from host Davina McCall.
She had recorded the slowest time in the bobsleigh event, which meant that she would face the jump as a consequence.
Tindall was beaten on time in the bobsleigh by former JLS star JB Gill, Madeley was beaten by daredevil Steve O, Butterworth was beaten by athlete Louise Hazel and Thompson was beaten by former Towie star Joey Essex.
The losers in each pairing faced the jump.
Tonight the remaining competitors will take each other on in the ski-cross on Jump Mountain.
