ITV has revealed the full line-up for its upcoming live athletics competition show The Games.
Twelve stars, split into six men and six women, will be going through intense coaching and training before competing, and as you might expect, ITV's soaps and reality shows are well represented here, but we've also got a (former) Strictly Come Dancing favourite taking part too.
The male celebs are: Coronation Street's Colson Smith and Ryan Thomas, former Strictly star Kevin Clifton, The Wanted's Max George, Love Island's Wes Nelson and Harry Potter actor turned MMA fighter Josh Herdman.

What to Read Next
Events will include 100-meter sprint and diving, to name just two, and will take place across the gymnasium, velodrome, swimming pool and main athletics arena. A leaderboard will keep track of who's doing the best, culminating in one man and one woman each being crowned.
We don't know just yet when The Games will air, but now the celebrities have been confirmed, it looks like it won't be too far off.
And speaking of Love Island, the show is on track to return to ITV2 in the summer, but it looks like we might be getting a brand-new villa in an attempt to freshen up the show.
The Games will air on ITV.
