Celebrities to compete in 'Total Wipeout'
The BBC has announced that it has recommissioned Total Wipeout for two new series, each of which will include two celebrity specials.

The special episodes will see stars complete on an extreme obstacle course in Argentina. A brand new 'Champion Of Champions' edition will also air.

The show, presented by Richard Hammond, debuted in the UK earlier this year.

"It’s a pleasure to announce that we’ve secured another two series of Total Wipeout," said BBC controller of entertainment commissioning Mark Linsey.

"The show was a huge hit with our audience and has cemented itself as a key part of our Saturday night entertainment line-up, and further highlights our commitment to offer viewers a varied portfolio of family entertainment shows throughout the year."

The second series is due to premiere this summer.
