Davina McCall teases ‘crazy, amazing’ line-up for next series of The Jump

She said: "We've got an amazing lineup - an unbelievable lineup.

"And no, I can't tell you, but we have quite a few people set. They're crazy amazing people - I'm so excited."

The last season saw seven of the 12 contestants withdrawing from the process due to injury - with former Olympic runner Linford Christie pulling out with a hamstring injury and actress Tina Hobley dislocating her elbow.

Meanwhile Olympic gymnast Beth Tweddle suffered a back injury which lead to her needing surgery to fuse two vertebrae together using a piece of her hip bone.

Davina, 49, is fully aware of the trials and tribulations the celebrities put themselves through, saying: "It is a crazy, crazy show to be part of and our contestants are just the coolest, bravest people on television. "Not because we put them at any risk, but you know, it's just being in the snow.

"Normally you're in the snow for a week and you have a certain amount of risk, but if you're in the snow for eight to ten weeks and you're on the slopes every day doing these crazy events ... these people are amazing."

The host added her favourite contestants are the sportsmen and women who sign up - such as last series winner, former rugby star Ben Cohen - as they are "supple, competitive and strong".

She added: "I love getting a really good range of sportspeople on there so hopefully ... I can't say anything! I can't say any more. I'm going to shut up because I'm going to give you something!"

However, fans of the show will never see the mother-of-three having a go at the daring winter sports herself.

She admitted: "No way! They won't let me ski - they won't let me do anything.

"The only activity I'm allowed to do when I'm filming is snowshoeing, where you put tennis rackets on your feet and just walk."
