Tumble (originally Let's Get Ready to Tumble)[2] is a British television show, featuring celebrities taking part in gymnastics to win the votes of the public. Learning sessions were given on the basics of gymnastics to the celebrities taking part. The show was backed by British Gymnastics.[3] The trainers were the same ones who trained Louis Smith and Beth Tweddle.[4] The show was broadcast live over six episodes on BBC One, starting on 9 August 2014.[2][5][6]
The series was hosted by Alex Jones.[7] The judges were Nadia Comăneci, Louis Smith, Craig Heap and Sebastien Stella. On occasions the judges would perform a routine.[8]
On 14 November 2014, BBC One cancelled the show after only one series.[9]
Production
[edit]The television show was commissioned by Charlotte Moore and Mark Lindsay.[2] Katie Taylor, the controller of BBC entertainment and events, said: "One thing’s for certain, you can expect the celebs to be pushed out of their comfort zone in what is probably the most physically demanding show of its kind anywhere in the world."[2][10] BBC Worldwide has invested in the series. Charlotte Moore said: "Let's Get Ready to Tumble will see brave celebrity contestants sign up to the toughest live Saturday night TV challenge yet!"[2]
Couples
[edit]The celebrities taking part were announced on 13 June 2014.[11] On 25 July, it was announced that fitness instructor & motivational speaker Mr Motivator had withdrawn from the programme after dislocating his knee, necessitating surgery. His professional partner Kerry Scotts withdrew as well.[12] On 28 July, it was confirmed that screen actor Peter Duncan was to replace Mr Motivator in the competition with his partner Kate McWilliam.[13]
