A last minute ruling has caused quite the ruckus after a contestant finished the course, only to be told she was disqualified.<\/p>\n

Trudie Horskins, 39, completed the course – lauded as the weirdest one of Aussie series so far – only to be told her run didn’t count.<\/p>\n

The aqua aerobics instructor cleared the course\u2019s first obstacle in three seconds flat, before wrapping herself around the \u2018Rolling Log\u2019 obstacle and holding on as it picked up speed.<\/p>\n

It was during this second obstacle that Trudie’s shoe can be seen flying off.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just seems so unfair, but the international Ninja rules are really clear about this,\u201d said host Rebecca Maddern.<\/p>\n

\u201cI need to stress for people watching at home that we\u2019ve witnessed the briefings where they\u2019re told that if anything, even a hairclip, falls off you and goes into that water, you\u2019re disqualified,\u201d added Ben.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be unfair to the other Ninjas if she was allowed to continue against the rules,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Trudie looked gutted as she stepped off the course. She told cameras she was \u201cso devastated\u201d by the disqualification.<\/p>\n\n
