“Splash,” the celebrity diving competition on ABC, appears to have claimed another injury. Nicole Eggert, the former”Baywatch” actress, was injured after a bad landing from a dive during a taping of the show on Thursday.
TMZ first reported the accident, which an ABC rep confirmed with The Times.
According to the report, Eggert was pulled from the water after her dive, which involved multiple backflips, and rushed to a nearby hospital. ABC confirmed that Eggert was consulting with a doctor.
