One severly battered frontman shorn of ego and broken of ribs.
Justin Hawkins was - for reasons that aren't entirely clear - enjoying a ride on a giant inflatable donut (not pictured) pulled by a speed boat when he came unstuck.
He suffered broken ribs and torn muscles in his legs. Ouch. We'd tell you more but frankly we can't be bothered to actually buy The Sun, where this was originally reported. So nerrr...
In related news (and also from the above red-top rag)
Hawkins has devised a celebrity darts show where 15 celebrities will toss arrows alongside 'professionals'.
Hawkins intends to present the show, Fame On (a play on the "game on" call at the start of a darts match), himself. He told The Sun:
"I'm talking to various darts pros and we'll get it made before the end of the year.
"I've got a darts shrine in my house - a professional board, mat, an electronic counter and various bits of memorabilia."
DiScuss: Completely off the subject of music it may be, but wasn't Bullseye great? Big Break, too, if only it didn't have that twit Davidson presenting it. What pub 'sport' would you like to see made into a television show?

"OH FUCK! A SPEEDBOAT! DANG!"
When, of course, if they DID win they'd get, like, a trip to the Isle of Wight. Or something.

I wonder if Georgie 'The Puppy' Noble will do a spot of refereeing?
If I was going on, I'd want to partner Steve 'The Adonis' Beaton, or maybe Dutchman Co Stompe, with his unusual throwing style.
Re: Justin Hawkins: tackles donut, breaks ribs for afters
Hawkins would probably manage to toast his face or something. Hopefully.
Mmmm... toasted sandwiches...
