What is Cannonball?

Cannonball is a new entertainment show featuring plucky contestants trying their best against a course of water-based challenges.

Each week 24 contestants will face challenges in a custom-built water park, including tackling a giant swing and a launching themselves cannonball-style at a target.

Crazy tasks include attempting the highest and longest jumps possible off massive water slides in fancy dress.

The show is hosted by two house-hold names, Freddie Flintoff and Frankie while Radzi Chinyanganya, Maya Jama and comedian Ryan Hand will also be on hand to capture the action as the contestants fly or belly flop into the water.
