This obviously wasn't the plan, and it's definitely not for the squeamish. Former NRL player Ben Ross broke his arm during the Footy Show last night during an arm-wrestle with former Wallaby and NRL star Wendell Sailor.

The two were taking part in a regular battle of strength segment. It wasn't long into the arm-wrestle when there was a snap and Ross, who played 173 NRL games in a decade long career, was in obvious pain.

"Medical, we need medical," host Beau Ryan said.

"All right listen.... we'll go to a break all right we'll come back after this', host Paul 'Fatty' Vautin added.

The Footy Show later tweeted to say that Ross had broken his humerus but wanted a rematch with his other arm.
