Lucrezia Millarini dramatically fell off her bike just SECONDS into the women's keirin race in the velodrome during Thursday's episode of The Games.
The ITV newsreader, 46, lost her balance just as she set off for the race live at the Lee Valley VeloPark in London.
She was unable to complete the rest of the event and was disqualified as it would have been too dangerous to reintroduce her to the track as the other women were riding.

She later exclaimed while sprawled on the floor and looking teary: 'Ouch it has gone straight through that elbow, straight into my bad shoulder'.
Olivia later explained: 'I was a sitting duck - we are all novice riders so it's impossible for this to be avoided.'
