The Games are back! Jamie Theakston will be joined by Kirsty Gallacher to present the tournament live from Sheffield and for the first time in the series, The National Watersports Centre in Nottingham.
Ten more famous faces compete against each other in a total of 18 sporting disciplines over nine days to be broadcast on Channel 4 and E4 in March.
Competing to be the male and female champions of The Games 2006 will be:
Bernie Nolan, Javine, Michelle Gayle, Amanda Lamb, Liberal Democrat MP Julia Goldsworthy, Peter Duncan, Jade Jones, Goldie, MC Plat’num and Radio One DJ, JK (Jason King).
Before entering the tournament, the celebrities will spend a gruelling three months in intensive training with world-class sporting experts and athletes. They will be required to become adept at a range of sports including the water ski jump, speed skating and, for the first time in this tournament, White Water Kayak Slalom, Kendo and Archery.
During the competition, the celebrities will not only battle to win that coveted gold medal, they will also compete on behalf of their chosen charities. The pressure will be on as every night they will compete before a live audience and under the critical eye of a team of international standard judges.
When they’re not competing against each other, the celebrities will live together in the purpose-built athletes’ village in the Don Valley Stadium Sheffield. C4 & E4 viewers will get an exclusive insight into what goes on before and after each event via live streaming. How do they prepare for the nightly events and how do they wind down afterwards? Will the tension from the competition boil over into their living quarters? And who are the rivals both in and out of the sporting arenas?

Always a good laugh, particularly as like last series, the hilarious Justin Lee Collins is presenting the E4 shows
! Darren Day was axed for not turning up for training, he was replaced by Jade, who I think is from Damage and used to go out with Emma Bunton. I really hope JK (of JK and Joke) makes a fool of himself.
