The Jump 2017 lineup is CONFIRMED: see all the celebrities joining the most dangerous reality show on TV

It's back! The Jump might have injured almost all of its celebrities last year, but after a "safety review", it'll be back on our screens in a matter of weeks with a whole host of new famous faces joining up in an attempt to prove their skills on the slopes. Davina McCall will be watching on as always, but which brave/stupid celebs are strapping on the salopettes and eyeing up the après ski? Click through our gallery to find out who's taking part – and tune in when the show returns to Channel 4 shortly.

Sir Bradley Wiggins

Who? Former Olympic cyclist

What you need to know: Sir Bradley, who was knighted in 2013, is Team GB's most decorated Olympian. He's only just announced his retirement but apparently couldn't wait to get competing again – we think he'll be hard to beat.

Jade Jones MBE

Who? Olympic taekwondo medallist

What you need to know: Jade won gold medals at the 2012 and the 2016 Olympics so she's not to be messed with. Her nickname is The Headhunter, which is frankly a little bit terrifying – so expect her to be a force to be reckoned with when it comes to events like ski cross.

Who? Retired professional rugby player

What you need to know: Gareth, who became the first openly gay professional rugby union player when he came out in 2009, has a history of reality telly: he's been on Celebrity Big BrotherDancing on Ice and Get Your Act Together. Could that give him an advantage?

Kadeena Cox MBE

Who? Paralympic cyclist and sprinter

What you need to know: Not content with being great in just one discipline, Kadeena became the first British Paralympian since 1984 to win golds in multiple sports last year. We wouldn't be surprised if after The Jump she ended up representing us at the Winter Paralympics too, to be honest.

Who? Another former rugby player

What you need to know: Jason is nicknamed "Billy Whizz" after that speedy character from The Beano because he's so fast on his feet – will he be just as swift on the slopes?

Vogue Williams

Who? Model and TV presenter

What you need to know: Vogue's ex-husband Brian McFadden took part in The Jump last year, so we wonder if he's given her any tips. We certainly know Vogue isn't to be underestimated – she won the first series of Bear Grylls: Mission Survive, beating athletes Kelly Holmes and Mike Tindall. So don't rule her out, she's a tough one.

Robbie Fowler

Who? Former professional footballer and manager

What you need to know: Yet another sports star on the list – and with Robbie being the sixth-highest goal scorer in the Premier League's history, we're guessing he's going to be a big competitor. Watch your backs, celebs.

Lydia Bright

Who? TOWIE star

What you need to know: Like Vogue, Lydia might have been able to get some tips on The Jump from her on-off-who-knows ex-boyfriend Arg (and from Joey Essex, who won the whole thing a couple of years ago). Again, she's a tough cookie – she took part in The Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls and survived a fish hook through the finger, so The Jump is probably kids' play to her.

Who? Former Made in Chelsea star

What you need to know: Despite being a Chelsea-ite, Spenny's apparently never skied before (probably too busy chasing the chalet girls and indulging in a little après ski). He got ditched from I'm a Celebrity after admitting to taking steroids, so this is his chance to win over the public again.

Josie Gibson

Who? Former Big Brother winner

What you need to know: Josie is the unlucky celebrity who's already been pictured falling over during training... a lot. Luckily she seemed to be doing it all with a smile on her face so let's hope she stays safe out there.

Who? Comedian

What you need to know: You'd think that Mark would be at an advantage on The Jump having previously hosted Balls of Steel, but he's admitted he's "absolutely bloody terrified". Fair.

Emma Parker-Bowles

Who? TV presenter and journalist

What you need to know: Yep, that surname is no coincidence – Emma is only Camilla's niece. She's said she has "the ability of a mountain goat" and calls herself an "adrenaline junkie", so basically she's chosen the best possible show for her.

Louis Smith

Who? Olympic gymnast

What you need to know: Louis was rumoured for last year's I'm a Celebrity... but it all went wrong when he was caught in a video apparently mocking Muslims. So this is his chance to redeem himself in the public's eyes, and with his gymnastic skills, athlete's competitiveness and a Strictly Come Dancing win in his back pocket, we wouldn't rule him out.

Caprice

Who? Supermodel

What you need to know: Caprice is another one who is no stranger to reality TV: she's done Celebrity Big Brother, Celebrity Come Dine With Me and the like. Perhaps most importantly, she's also done Splash! – another of those dangerous reality shows. So hopefully that's prepared her for what's to come.
