Splash contestants Gemma Merna and Danielle O'Hara heat up training in one-piece swimwear

It's a battle of the babes: Splash contestants Gemma Merna and Danielle O'Hara heat up training in one-piece swimwear 

It’s nearly time for the second series of swimming show Splash, and it’s set to be a corker with Hollyoaks babe Gemma Merna and WAG Danielle O’Hara both taking to the diving board. 
Mother-of-three Danielle O’Hara has been flaunting her fabulous figure in a brilliant white swimsuit in the Splash practice pool. 
Unbelievably the 29-year-old only gave birth to her third son in August, but has already been spotted attempting a backwards dive off the diving board.

A far cry from her usual made-up self, Danielle wore no make-up for her session with the Splash coaches and tied her hair back into a simple ponytail.
    The youngster, who is a true family girl, tweeted about a protein diet she’s taking part in – potentially to keep up in training for splash. 
    The star said: ‘Protein pancakes for desert this evening! Yummy! #SlenderBlend #Pancakes.’

    Hollyoaks stunner Gemma Merna is also in training for the program that’s set to air in the New Year. 
    The blonde bombshell, who is usually perfectly coiffured, wore a plain black swimsuit and kept her hair loose. 
    Not foregoing all the glamour, however, the 29-year-old flaunted ruby red nail polish as she lent over the edge of the diving board and peered down at the ground. 
    Gemma’s Hollyoaks character Carmel Valentine isn’t known for her outgoing determination and grit, but it seems in real like Gemma’s a true fighter and ready to battle it out on the Splash diving board for the winner’s title.

    Also taking the plunge is The Gadget Show presenter Pollyanna Woodward. 
    The presenter is known for her role on the Channel 5 program, but also her divorce from fellow TV presenter Lee Clark, who presents shows for QVC and the Discovery Channel, back in 2010. 
    The blonde star, 33, looked the most glamorous as she confidently strode along the diving board. 
    In a blue, sequinned bikini the star smiled before raising her arms to begin the dive.

    Another babe making waves in the Splash pool this series is 31-year-old Anna Williamson. 
    The blonde star was a former GMTV Kids presenter, and bravely spoke out about her battle with anxiety in July. 
    Wearing a black and white one-piece, Anna dived off one of the highest boards with mentor Tom Daley looking proud on the poolside.
