The Jump 2017 line-up confirmed by Channel 4: Sir Bradley Wiggins, Lydia Bright and Louis Smith hitting the slopes

It's a crop of Olympians, retired sportsmen and reality TV stars

Despite making a name for itself as one of the most dangerous reality shows in TV history, producers of Channel 4's The Jump have managed to secure a fresh load of celebrities in time for its new series.

As was confirmed yesterday, Sir Bradley Wiggins - who announced his retirement from cycling last weekend - will be hitting the ski slopes when the new series begins at the end of the month.

Other celebrities that'll be taking part include fellow gold medallists Jade Jones MBE (Taekwondo) and Kadeena Cox MBE who won gold for both sprinting and cycling at the 2016 Paralympics.

Former rugby players Gareth Thomas and Jason Robinson OBE also appear on the line-up as does former Premier League footballer Robbie Fowler and gymnast Louis Smith who has a Strictly Come Dancing win to his name.

Expect the usual array of reality TV stars with The Only Way Is Essex's Lydia Bright and Spencer Matthews who made his name on Made In Chelsea.

Other participants include comedian Mark Dolan, supermodel Caprice, model and TV presenter Vogue Williams and broadcaster Emma Parker-Bowles.

Meanwhile, Josie Gibson, winner of Channel 4's final series of Big Brother in 2010, will be reunited with presenter Davina McCall.

The Jump returns to Channel 4 later this month.
