Model Victoria Silvstedt couldn't walk for three weeks after appearing on 'Celebrity Wrestling'.

The blonde star was injured in a fight with fellow model Leilani Dowding, on the high-profile flop, and says the agonizing pain made her break down in tears.

She told Britain's OK magazine: "I heard my knee snap. It was agony. I was fighting back the tears. So that was it, my wrestling career was over. Afterwards I cried like a baby!"

The sexy Swede also claims her bouts on the show ravaged her good looks, leaving her battered, bruised and scarred

She added: "I looked terrible, my eyes were bloodshot for a week afterwards, my face was scratched and bleeding and my nose blew up like a potato. The whole thing was pretty dangerous and a lot of the other contestants also suffered quite serious injuries."
