The Games hit screens for the very first time on Monday night (May 9) for a bumper hour and a half special. The new live ITV show sees twelve super-fit celebrities battling it out in a range of sporting events while racking up points and being placed in either gold, silver or bronze medal position.
By the end of the week only two of the show's stars, who have been trained and coached for the events including diving and weight lifting for three months, will emerge victorious as one male champion and one female crowned the winners of The Games.
The programme is hosted by Holly Willoughby and Freddie Flintoff while former footballer and pundit Alex Scott acts as trackside reporter and Chris Kamara, aka Kammy, takes his seat in the commentary box. Among the stars taking part are Corrie star Colson Smith, Emmerdale's Rebecca Sarker, model and TV personality Christine McGuinness, and ex-soap star Ryan Thomas.
