Beauty queen Katherine Webb has plunged right out of ABC's celebrity reality diving competition "Splash."

On Tuesday, the Sports Illustrated model and Miss Alabama USA 2012 withdrew from the show citing an injury as the reason why she could no longer compete.

"I went to the doctor and unfortunately he told me I'm out for the competition," she told the audience, said the model at the start of the episode.

As a result of Webb's sudden departure, Louie Anderson was able to make a comeback to the show. He also tweeted a message in support of the 23-year-old pageant queen.

"I've really gotten to know Katherine Webb over the weeks we practiced together," Anderson tweeted on Tuesday. "She put all that she could into this, and she wanted to go on but she was truly hurt and in pain. And couldn't!"

Later, she tweeted: "Thank you guys for all the support! Means so much. Love you guys."

Webb was the second contestant to leave the show due to personal reasons. Earlier this month Kendra Wilkinson refused to jump off of a 23-foot-high board on the celebrity diving series which resulted in an automatic elimination.

"I'm so sorry, everybody," said the former girlfriend of Hugh Hefner after declining to dive. "It's bittersweet. One thing I don't do is quit. This is the first time in my life I've quit something. This will haunt me for the rest of my life."

The reality star said that it was ultimately her fear of heights that prevented her from taking the leap.
