Justin Lee Collins is to try his luck as a professional wrestler for his new TV show.

Sky1 will broadcast three 60-minute episodes of Justin Lee Collins Is... , in which the comedian also attempts to crack the West End and become a ballroom dancer.

"I really can't wait. I'm going to become a Mexican wrestler, a ballroom dancer and hopefully get myself into a West End show. It'll be really hard work, but I can't wait to get started. Bring it on," he said.

Sky1's factual commissioning editor Andrew O'Connell said the broadcaster is "thrilled" to have enlisted the services of the Sunday Night Project host.

"He brings boundless enthusiasm to everything he does and we know he'll do his utmost to rise to these challenges," he said.
