    Ant didn’t even flinch by the news, responding: ‘It’s all right. If you need to piss, you need to piss. I don’t mind. It’s natural.’

    He then asked if any of the recruits had urinated in the water, to which Jana said: ‘No, I just pissed myself on that run so that was embarrassing enough.

    ‘Not intentionally but women at home need to know, after you have a baby, you don’t have a good pelvic floor if you try hard.’

    The athlete was met with an abundance of praise after being so honest about her struggles with incontinence, with one fan writing: ‘I actually love that Jana is so frank about women’s issues on TV.

    ‘The men are all supposed to be big and tough and as soon as a lady mentions they’re pelvic floor they’re like OH MY GOD YOU CAN’T MENTION THAT.’

    ‘Don’t be embarrassed Jana. It’s normal after you have a baby,’ another added, while a third chimed in: ‘Jana, you bloody legend – telling the truth.’

    ‘Oh Jana don’t be embarrassed. We need to take the stigma out of this for women after we’ve had babies,’ one viewer added.

    A fifth was impressed she had even chosen to complete the course so soon after having a baby, adding: ‘Jana is amazing doing this 6 months postpartum!’

    Speaking to the camera, Jana candidly told producers: ‘I’ve had four kids. So having my body go from being an elite athlete to a mum meant that I need a goal to train.
