Celebrity Ski-Jumping – Coming This Spring

Yup.

Following the success of Celebrity Splash in The Netherlands, SBS and production company MasMedia (part of John de Mol’s Talpa) decided they could even take it to a whole new level, in every aspect. Celebrities will follow a speedcourse in becoming a trained ski-jumper and will compete in a celebrity ski-jump competition.

As there are no actual mountains in the Netherlands, the idea seems very far-sought, but they might think it will work. Currently, they are in search of celebrities willing to actually participate. With all the risks involved, probably higher than when diving in a pool of water, no so many are ‘ready to jump’. As of this moment, there are 4 male celebs that have agreed to try to jump and to compete, but they will have to get much more in order to fill the show. It will be recorded in Germany, and be aired in March/April on SBS.

The Dutch Ski-association has stated not to be involved in the project, as they consider it being to dangerous for the participants.
