What happened in episode 1?

The first episode of The Games saw the celebrities battle it out for the first time.

Former Love Islander Olivia Atwood was left with an injured shoulder following the hurdles race and said that she was ‘humbled' by her loss.

She told her Instagram followers: ‘I got through it – the first one is done and I didn’t knock anyone over and I didn’t fall over.

‘I have [hurt] my shoulder… that’s not great. The other girls smashed it, it was a photo finish. I didn’t see it because I was still on the hurdles – but they did well.

‘I still can’t believe that when I was finishing the hurdles most of the girls had literally put their tracksuits on and were getting in their Ubers to go home… humbling.

‘I have taken a massive painkiller as my shoulder is really bad tonight and I am worried about how I am going to get through the rest of the week.’

The Wanted’s Max George also faced an injury last night in the 400m sprint, which was won by former Love Islander Wes Nelson.

Elsewhere, Christine McGuiness walked off in tears during the first episode after opening up about her autism and how it’s affecting her.

The TV presenter and former glamour model told Alex Scott: ‘I think I’m just finding it too much today.

‘The thoughts of the crowds, the people, the gun, I don’t know what I’m actually going to do.’

He made a guest appearance on the show alongside Olympic gold medallists Denise Lewis and Matty Lee.
