Sophie's Circus Act

Sophie AndertonWe all know the celebrity world can be a bit of a circus.

But you ain't seen nothing yet...

And the circus bit - yes, we have a talent for playing on words - is pretty relevant.

Sophie Anderton, BB7's Grace Adams-Short, model/ TV host Emma B and a load of others will be joining top British circus, Cirque Surreal, to take part in Cirque de Celebrite, a brand new reality TV show on Sky One.

Their skills and courage will be put to the test as they each learn to master their own circus act and compete against each other to win a place in the final.

And to make things that bit tougher for our brave celebs, they must not only perform in front of a live audience, but also a panel of expert judges, including Circus Surreal creator Phillip Gandey.

Emma BEach week viewers at home can vote for their favourite star and the star with the least votes will be out on their ear.

So, if you want to see celebs really walking the high wire (and we're sure there are several you'd love to see shaking with fear), tune in to Sky One for the opening special on Sunday 15th October at 7pm.

For those of you who'd like to see all the blood, sweat and toil behind the scenes, the action will also be broadcast on Sky One HD (High Definition).
