Steps star Lee Latchford-Evans crashed out of Ninja Warrior UK and you can probably guess the joke he made

Steps star Lee Latchford-Evans had a bad day at the office on Ninja Warrior UK.

The singer took on the gruelling obstacle course as the show returned for a brand new series.

He was raring to go at the start but was eventually overpowered as he tried to make his way through the new look obstacle course.

At the Flying Squirrel stage, Lee gripped the handbars and tried his best to swing his way across.

But the Deeper Shade Of Blue singer couldnt quite launch himself far enough and his arms gave out, sending him splashing into the drink below.

Something going wrong for someone from Steps? There could only be one joke to make, really.

Other contestants backstage quoted a Steps classic and called Lees early exit a tragedy.

Even Lee himself got in on the fun, telling presenter Rochelle Humes: It was a tragedy. Ill say it before you do.

What a good sport!

The episode also saw Love Island star Dom Lever have a go, but he was left shouting in frustration after he failed to get past the Spinning Bridge.

Ninja Warrior has proved to be so tough, that so far no one has actually managed to complete the course.

Instead contestants who have reached the furthest point in the course have been crowned the winner, meaning the official title of Ninja Warrior UK is yet to be handed out.

The presenters, Rochelle, Ben Shephard and Chris Kamara, recently defended the course when asked if they pushed contestants too hard.

BRAND NEW #NinjaWarriorUK starts TOMORROW at 6:30 PM on @ITV and @WeAreSTV!

For the first time ever, our contestants will have to clear the ENTIRE COURSE to make it to the semi-finals. But which obstacles will they be taking on? pic.twitter.com/0Tyn7mZ5s6

Ben explained that it was down to the contestants state of mind.

He said: Sometimes [Chris] and I will be commentating and Rochelle will be out the back interviewing contestants, and a particular obstacle will be taking out a lot of contestants.

Well be going “this is too hard, no one will do it”. Then someone will do it and it changes everything and it gets everybody through and its a mindset thing.

Rochelle also revealed that she has had to deal with arrogant contestants trying to flirt with her backstage.
