TOWIE's James Lock looks very different after accident left him hospitalised

James Lock looked battered and bruised as he appeared in a promotional clip for a new television show after sustaining several injuries.

The reality star, who found fame on The Only Way Is Essex, is known for his hunky looks but appears to have fallen victim to a string of injuries while on the show.

James, 36, will star alongside the likes of Kaz Crossley, Curtis Pritchard and Callum Izzard on The Challenge UK which will air in a matter of weeks.

It's claimed that he was subsequently rushed to the hospital and required treatment for his injuries which left him "in agony".

"James was rushed to hospital after seriously bruising his face within the first 3 days of filming the Challenge UK," an insider told The Sun.

They added: "The injury was caused during one of the many dangerous activities contestants have to take part in, it was so scary to see, he was in agony.

"He ended up fracturing part of his face and was bruised for months, James spent weeks recovering in Miami so that no one would see his bruised face."

Throughout the course of the programme, the celebrities involved will go head to head in a string of challenges in a bid to retain their place on the show.

Each winner from across the world will take part in a global championship and will face the winners from countries including but not limited to the Australian, American and Argentinian series.

The winners will be going against one another in a bid to scop the whopping £100,000 prize money and the chance to become the Challenge Champion.

James has remained tightlipped on his stint on the show but recently took to his Instagram page to share the teaser clip which saw the celebrities being put through their paces during challenges including pushing a car and being plunged into a pool of water.

Host Mark Wright was heard saying: "It's the toughest show on television, a true test of strength, determination and grit.

"You think you've seen it all? I promise you haven't seen anything like this."

The show, which was filmed in Argentina, will air on Channel 5 at 11.05 on February 20.
