Ulrika Jonsson was treated for hypothermia on Sunday's first gruelling episode of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.
The presenter, 54, is taking part in the latest series of the show alongside Kerry Katona, Vicky Pattison and Wes Nelson, which is set in the remote island of Raasay in the Scottish Hebrides.
During the first instalment, Ulrika was left without any feeling in her toes or fingers after the contestants had to do a cold water swimming challenge before running as fast as they could with their equipment.
The presenter was left shaking during the gruelling task as she attempted to soldier on and was told by the instructors to keep going in order to "push herself".
But a shivering Ulrika quickly admitted to the instructors: "It is so cold, I have no feeling in my toes or fingers."
A medic was then called over as they explained that she appeared to be experiencing mild hypothermia and she was taken to an ambulance to warm up.
Later during the episode, it was revealed that following Ulrika's assessment for hypothermia, she had been given the "all clear" to rejoin the course as they told her "hydration was key".
Speaking off-camera in a pre-recorded segment, the star said: "Age and ageing is such a bizarre thing, because, in my head… I still feel 25. Or something like that!
"I definitely don't want to be forgotten about and I don't want to be discounted."
Viewers were quick to praise the star for continuing on the show as they took to Twitter to encourage her journey on the Channel 4 series.
One person said: "Come on Ulrika. You got this #SASWhoDaresWins," followed by a strong arm emoji.
A different account put: "Fair play, Ulrika did well #SASWhoDaresWins."
Another follower commented: "Fantastic so far, really enjoying this. Well done Ulrika for your honesty. I love stuff like this which calls on real integrity & inner strength. Feel inspired already…. #SASWhoDaresWins."
