Comaneci To Judge New Gymnastics Reality Show
Olympic legend Nadia Comaneci will be putting her gymnastics knowledge to good use as she serves as a judge for the BBC’s new reality show Tumble. Three-time Olympic medalist Louis Smith of Great Britain will join Comaneci as a co-judge for the show.
 
According to Mirror UK, the TV series, which is set to air later this year, will feature 10 celebrities competing in a range of gymnastics challenges. They will be trained by experienced gymnasts and pitted against one another in order to earn the highest scores. The BBC’s commissioning executive Rachel Ashdown said: “These celebrities are embarking on a grueling training regimen combining aerial and gymnastic skills. They’ll use them all to deliver breathtaking performances that you’d expect from the department that also produces Strictly Come Dancing.”
 
The list of competitors for the inaugural season include Dynasty actress Emma Samms, Sarah Harding of Girls Aloud, Mr. Motivator, boxing great Carl Froch, Ian Watkins from Steps, John Partride of EastEnders, Loose Women panelist Andrea McLean, Sugababes’ Amelle Berrabah, Bobby Lockwood of Wolfblood, and Lucy Mecklenburgh of The Only Way Is Essex.
