Louise Thompson, Ola Jordan and Ashley Roberts set to hit the slopes for daredevil series The Jump

Reality show regulars Louise Thompson, Ola Jordan and Ashley Roberts set to hit the slopes for daredevil series The Jump 

This year's series of Channel 4's daredevil show The Jump will boast a seriously glamorous line-up.
Among the competitors announced to hit the slopes for the programme's second run are Made In Chelsea's Louise Thompson, Strictly's Ola Jordan and former Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts.
The trio are no strangers to the world of reality TV: Louise has laid bare her life in the E4 series, Ola has hit the dancefloor on the BBC juggernaut since 2006 and dancer/singer Ashley survived the jungle in I'm A Celebrity.

Joining them on the piste will be Gogglebox's resident posh tippler Dom Parker, Zara Phillips' rugby star husband Mike Tindall, former JLS singer JB Gill and Sally Bercow, the wife of the House of Commons Speaker.
Heather Mills, Paul McCartney's ex-wife, has also been confirmed following reports she was eager to prove her skiing skills after winning a World Cup silver medal at the 2014 Winter Paralympic Games.
It appears that a stint in the Aussie rainforest could also be a prerequisite for joining The Jump - alongside Ashley, former I'm A Celeb campmates Joey Essex, Stacey Solomon, and Phil Tufnell are all in the line-up.
Rounding out the competitors are dancer-turned-CBB Louie Spence, aristocratic reality show regular Lady Victoria Hervey, athlete Louise Hazel and paralympic cyclist Jon-Allan Butterworth.

The 16 contestants have already begun training and will have to tackle events such as bobsleigh, slalom and ski cross.
But before even landing a place in the contest, they must complete a skeleton run, with the fastest racers directly qualifying while the others will be involved in a live ski jump. 
Those who achieve the shortest distances will have to sit out as substitutes.
Last year's winner Joe McElderry had been drafted in following an injury among the competitors, in a show that led to numerous health woes.
