Former supermodel Caprice Bourret's sex life has taken a dive since she signed up for new U.K. reality Tv show Splash! - because she is covered "from head to toe" in bruises due to the intense training.

The blonde beauty agreed to take part in the programme, which also features Sugababes singer Jade Ewen and actor/funnyman Omid Djalili, to learn diving skills from British Olympian Tom Daley.

Bourret has been left battered and bruised from her time in the pool, and the vigorous sessions are affecting her relationship with entrepreneur Ty Comfort.

She tells Britain's The Sun, "I am like, 'Honey, sorry, you can't touch me tonight, I am in too much pain'. Our love life has been a disaster. I have said to Ty, 'You can forget it. It's non-existent while I am doing this show'.

"After my first day I was covered from head to toe in bruises. I had massive black and blue marks up and down my legs and on my tummy and all over my boobs as well.

"I had one on my eyelid too and I got a black eye. I had no idea my body would go through hell and back."

Bourret will show off her skills in Saturday's (12Jan13) episode. The contest will feature three heats, with the two best divers from each show going through to a grand final.
