Astonishing news as The Jump reached its less than grand finale and – drum roll – no one got hurt.

An unprecedented carnage-free episode finished with triumphant Ben Cohen leaping to victory from that tiny little slope that looks about as impressive as a children’s playground slide.

Congratulations to the plucky rugby star who gained an un-prestigious cowbell trophy… but lost two teeth. After crashing into a barrier, he also needed 20 stitches in his bruised and battered face.

Other alleged highlights included It-granny Tamara Beckwith pleading with un-Superman Dean Cain to refrain from knocking her over again.

“I know it’s difficult,” she declared. “But try not to bang me.” Bet she says that to all the guys.

And when hectic host Davina McCall revealed that last year’s winner Joey Essex was having his inappropriately named wisdom teeth out, she shrieked: “He’s in hospital and for once it wasn’t anything to do with us.”

But jokes aside, the injury toll on this horribly hazardous Alpine bloodbath was no laughing matter.

No need to repeat the list of the fallen… suffice to say very few of the slip-sliding celebrities escaped unscathed. And some of them were seriously wounded. Especially, poor Beth Tweddle.

What used to be this programme’s USP – “TV’s most dangerous show” – became an embarrassment. And despite the numerous accidents and emergencies, watching barely recognisable C-listers toppling over in the snow time and time again was deep frozen dullsville.

“We’ve made friends,” said Davina. “We’ve made headlines. We’ve made Tamara Beckwith swear like a sailor.” And you’ve made a boring programme. Hence the rubbish ratings.

It’s not just Channel 4’s soaring insurance bill that will probably mean this was the last ever series. It’s the viewing figures plummeting downhill faster than the contestants.

Tellingly, signing off with that infuriating Austrian band oompahing away in the background, Davina made no reference to next year. Could it be the end of an error?
