You know how well(ish) that ITV diving show Splash did? Well now BBC 1's jumping on the Olympics-themed TV show bandwagon (better late than never...) with Tumble - a show where celebrities compete against each other through the power of gymnastics.

No, we're not joking...

And guess which A/Z-listers will be taking part. Well first up we've got TOWIE star Lucy Mecklenburgh. Not bad, eh? Then there's Mr Motivator. Oh and Sarah Harding. And don't forget H from Steps - he'll be tumbling around too. Plus a bunch of other people.

The judging panel will be made up of Olympic gymnastics legend Nadia Comaneci, London 2012 heartthrob and Strictly Come Dancing champion Louis Smith, Team GB gymnastics captain turned sports broadcaster Craig Heap, and cirque artist Sebastien Stella.

And it will be prsented by Alex Jones, with Beth Tweddle working as Tumble's version of Tom Daley.

Tumble will see the famous folk attempting to learn and master gymnastic skills across six weeks of live TV shows. The challenges will include tumbling (obvs), double trapeze, acrobatic gymnastics and trampolining.

BBC Commissioning Executive Rachel Ashdown said: "These celebrities are embarking on a gruelling training regime combining aerial and gymnastic skills. "They'll use them all to deliver breath-taking performances that you'd expect from the department that also produces Strictly Come Dancing."
