The 52-year-old had been driving a monster truck as part of a celebrity race on the Sky One series, when the vehicle flipped over onto its roof while attempting to go over a ramp, said The Daily Mail.

"Ingrid was in the lead and doing around 40 mph," said a spokesman for the competitive series. "She hit the ramp at an angle and the truck flipped four meters in mid-air, rolled and came down on its roof."

After being treated by paramedics, Ingrid Tarrant was still shaken by the incident but was given an all-clear by area medical staff.

"Obviously she is seriously shaken up and we will have to wait and see whether she feels able to carry on with the show," said a spokesman for the show.
