Beauty queen Katherine Webb announced on last night's episode of ABC's SPLASH that she would be leaving the competition after suffing an injury. "I went to the doctor and unfortunately he told me I'm out for the competition," she revealed.

She took to Twitter to share how much she has appreciated her loyal fans. "Thank you guys for all the support! Means so much. Love you guys," she wrote.

"Splash" marks the first time 10 celebrities train and compete in regulation platform and springboard diving at dizzying heights in front of a weekly poolside audience. Leading up to the competition, the world's most decorated and medaled diving legend, Greg Louganis, gave each celebrity weeks of training. Each dive is critiqued by the judges, London Olympic U.S. Gold medalist David Boudia and Australian Olympic athlete and USA Dive Team director Steve Foley.

"Splash" airs TUESDAYS (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on The ABC Television Network.
