Sources report that he was carried off unconscious but later made a full recovery.
“It all happened so fast, it was like he got tapped out in a fight,” a source said. “In the show he was trying to overcome his fear of being under water as he couldn’t hold his breath for longer than 15 seconds before trying the stunt out.
“Although he failed in rehearsals, he still went ahead with the stunt on the show and everyone was in tears,” the source added.
