New show to teach celebs show jumping
Published Saturday, Mar 18 2006, 13:35 GMT | By Dave West
A new BBC reality TV show is to see celebrities learning to show jump.
The idea was inspired by the success of learning-based programmes such as Strictly Come Dancing and Just The Two Of Us.
“We know how much people love reality shows where celebrities learn a new skill — so we’ve been thinking for a while about what we can do next," an insider told The Sun.
“Show jumping should work brilliantly — it will be hugely entertaining and very dramatic, as well as graceful and beautiful.”
Stars will soon begin training with top professionals for the series, which will be shown every day in a week-long run-up to Sport Relief Saturday on July 15.
