An American Youtuber and rapper has said he will be going to hospital after injuring himself in Gloucestershire’s cheese-rolling race.

IShowSpeed, whose real name is Darren Jason Watkins Jr, said he wanted a second crack at the daunting slope of Cooper’s Hill after taking part in the first men’s race earlier.

The annual tradition sees people run, tumble and fall down the steep hill in Brockworth to win a wheel of Double Gloucester cheese.

The influencer said the race had further injured a previous leg injury, but added it was worth it.

He told the BBC: “It looks scary, but once that first slide, you’re like, ‘you know what, I can do this’.

“I want to do it again because I know how to win now.”

Asked whether he would do it again, he replied: “Hell, yeah!”
