Ice work if you can get it By DEREK ROBINS September 22, 2006 CELEBRITY bobsleighing and ski jumping are the latest zany plans for reality shows following the success of ITV1’s Dancing On Ice.
Production company Initial plans to enter a team of personalities for the UK bobsleigh championships in March while ITV1 is developing Celebrity Ski Jumping.
A spokeswoman for Initial’s parent company Endemol UK told us: “The idea for a celebrity bobsleigh show is in development but no-one has been signed up for it yet and it hasn’t been commissioned by a TV channel.”
If it gets the go-ahead, it’s reported that if successful, a winning celeb team could represent Britain at bobsleighing in the 2010 Winter Olympics.
ITV has confirmed the Celebrity Ski Jumping idea but no further details are available.
The interest in developing winter sports reality shows has been spawned by the ratings success of ITV1’s Dancing On Ice, which was won by ex-Coronation Street actress Gaynor Faye earlier this year.
