ITV has revealed the line-up for its upcoming new series ‘SHARK! Celebrity Infested Waters'.
The celebrities taking part in the series are TV presenter Ade Adepitan, actress Helen George, actor and comedian Sir Lenny Henry, comedian Ross Noble, McFly star Dougie Poynter, actor Lucy Punch and TV presenter Rachel Riley.
Made by UK-based Plimsoll Productions (‘Super/Natural'), and ITV Studios company, the show will see the expertise of ITV Entertainment combined with the natural history legacy of Plimsoll Productions. The series will air in time with the 50th Anniversary of the three-time Oscar-winning film ‘Jaws'.
The celebrities taking part will confront their greatest fear – sharks. Throughout their adrenaline-fueled, challenge-heavy journey in the Bahamas – the shark capital of the world – the celebs will push past their limits to come nose to nose with nature’s ‘villains.’ Their firsthand experiences will provide immeasurable excitement and new perspective; they’ll come to appreciate sharks’ valuable place on the food chain and in our ecosystem, recognizing that a world devoid of these notoriously terrifying creatures is downright frightening.
The celebrities will be tasked with diving with a different species of shark, with the breeds getting bigger and more dangerous each time. Bimini, the Bahamas island where the show will be filmed, is home to around 7-10 different shark types including Hammerheads, Bull sharks and Tiger sharks.
And if that isn't enough, the celebrities will also face fear inducing challenges whilst learning first hand the important role sharks play in our oceans.
‘SHARK! Celebrity Infested Waters' is coming soon to ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player.
