The Games on ITV: Who is presenting the series, which celebs are taking part and how the show works

The Games is the brand new show coming to ITV and will see twelve super-fit celebrities battle it out in a sporting spectacular event across a week of live programmes. Broadcasting nightly from Crystal Palace, the show will be jam-packed with sporting challenges, including athletics, swimming and cycling.

The contestants will compete in the athletics arena, the swimming pool, gymnasium and velodrome with the hopes of racking up points on the medals table and eventually being crowned Champion of The Games 2022. As well as live coverage of the events, ITV has said each episode will feature the celebrities' preparation as they're ­­­taught the sports from scratch by some of the UK's top coaches.

Those taking part include Love Island stars Olivia Attwood and Wes Nelson, influencer – and daughter of Spice Girls star Mel B – Phoenix Gulzar-Brown, ex-Strictly professional Kevin Clifton, The Wanted's Max George, and songwriter Chelcee Grimes.
