After weeks of being put through their paces in training by a team of world class experts and trainers, the competition at Jump Mountain is set to be fierce as they all have their eyes on the prize – the coveted Cowbell Trophy – currently in the hands of The Jump 2016 champion, Rugby ace Ben Cohen.

It’s become known as one of the most dangerous shows on TV with many of last year’s celebs suffering accidents and injuries. This year Vogue Williams has already had to pull out and has been replaced by Amy Willerton. Sir Bradley Wiggins has also suffered a foot injury.

The show must go on 👊🏻🇬🇧
