Emmerdale aired scenes in which David Metcalfe signed up to do the survival challenge last night.
And fans are calling it ridiculous given he only got shot last month.
The shop owner has barely been out of bed, is constantly sweating, wheezing, and can hardly walk unaided. Plus, Meena’s been messing with his painkillers, slowing down his recovery!
How is he supposed to take part in the big event?
Emmerdale: David signs up for the challenge

When Priya and Ellis were trying to sign up participants, David was offended he hadn’t been asked.
But Priya pointed out: “Are you up to it?”
To which David conceded: ” No, probably not.”
However, when Ellis asked him, Ellis made it all sound easy: “You wouldn’t have to do anything you’re not up to, I know you’re still recovering.” He even suggested David bring Meena along too so she could keep a close eye on him.
It seemed that was enough to sway David and he agreed: “Do you know what, yeah, I will, it’s been ages since I’ve done anything like that.”
It’s been ages because you’re recovering from a gun shot wound, David!
Fans think he shouldn’t be taking part
Viewers at home know David was shot during a seige at the Hop as he was trying to protect Victoria.
They couldn’t believe David was even considering doing such a gruelling event.
They called it ‘unrealistic’ and ‘beyond’.
Sorry but David looks like he could still drop dead at any second.
How is he realistically supposed to be taking part in this challenge 🤦🏽♀️ #Emmerdale— Sancho Rashford Saka ❤️ (@AVFCLil) October 14, 2021
David got shot in the stomach with a shotgun, not arm or leg the stomach and was on the floor for 30+ minutes. He should be dead? Not going white water rafting. #Emmerdale it’s beyond.
