My money is on James "Royal Shagger" Hewit to win and be King of the Ring. In spite of his age, he has been in the armed forces and is quite fit, and I am sure he would have no trouble disposing of pudgy boy Jeff in the squared circle without breaking much of a sweat.

Jeff does not seem to be made for this kind of show, as he has been whipped by his owner Jade every time they clashed. He cannot outshout her and he has to call the cops for help whenever he was tossed out by Jade "The Terrible" Goody.

Unfortunately for him, the two kids are too young to plead for him or even throw in the towel once Jade pounces on him.

It should be Jenny Powell.

Television presenter Jenny Powell is one of 12 celebrities lined up to take part in the new programme Celebrity Wrestling.

Jenny, who lives in Bowdon, near Altrincham, will go head to head with other celebrities including former Big Brother winner Kate Lawler, Liberty X singer Michelle Heaton and model Victoria Silvstedt.

Six male competitors including, athlete Iwan Thomas and ex-EastEnder actor Marc Bannerman will also take part.

KNOCKOUT girls Kate Lawler and Leilani Dowding are getting to grips with each other for ITV’s Celebrity Wrestling.

And the Big Brother winner — who has nicknamed herself Brawler — was in kicking form.

Wearing tight lycra hotpants and revealing bra-tops, superfit Kate, 24, and brunette Page 3 babe Leilani, 26 — fighting under the name Vixen — grappled in the ring.

The fights have all been shot in secret at studios in Borehamwood, Herts, and will be screened on ITV1 next month.

According to all reports, the celebrities are taking this bash seriously. No one wants to look foolish or be the butt of jokes on TV, and not surprisng, there have been casualties.

Showjumper Oliver Skeete, 45, footballer Lee Sharpe, 33, have dropped out with injuries, and model Emma B, 25, has been drafted in to replace former Miss Sweden Victoria Silvstedt, 30, who has torn a knee ligament.

Meanwhile, Vanessa Feltz reports in her Daily Star column that she has had a sneak preview of Celebrity Wrestling and the sound of Page 3 babe Leilani Dowding's head cracking - as Kate "The Brawler" Lawler thumped it against the floor - still sets her teeth on edge.

She reports " Kate is feral - teeth bared, lethal staring, corrugated iron stomach rippling.

Mind you, Leilani is no slouch and doesn't let two mountainous masses like her twin peaks prevent her from slugging the stuffing out of Kate. The loathe each other and so they literally go for the jugular."

Anyone expecting cotton wool-wrapped stars playing at wretling can think again. This is hard-core, eye-for-an-eye stuff, with the number of casualties stacking up like an episode of ER.

"Two mountainous masses like her twin peaks"? Leilani's breasts are average in size, to be generous. Vanessa must be tripping out again.

Good clean squared circle mayhem, all set for our Saturday nights fun.

There’s no holds barred as twelve famous faces go toe to toe in new prime time Saturday night show Celebrity Wrestling.

Split into two teams each under the guidance of two of the biggest names from the world of professional wrestling, they will be taken to new levels of fitness as they prepare for combat in a series of REAL bouts filmed in front of a massive audience.

Grapple fans will not be disappointed as each week the 12 compete in a series of unique wrestling bouts presented by KATE THORNTON, who will be joined by former WWF legend ROWDY RODDY PIPER.

The celebrities are not just competing for fun because there are points and pride at stake; and ultimately there can only be one King and Queen of the ring.

D-LO BROWN’S six celebrity CRUSADERS will go into battle against JOE LEGEND’S six WARRIORS. With a fierce rivalry already brewing between these two mentors there’s bound to be a few rucks as each vies for their chosen celebrities’ success.

Oops, too late.

Hey, D'Lo Brown's involved! I'll be watching.

Definitely not to miss.

The fights have all been shot in secret at studios in Borehamwood, Herts, and will be screened on ITV1 next month.



They are not shot in secret you get tickets from applause.

Annabel Croft{Solitaire} is the dark horse. Although her and Kate are on the same team .

It sounds quite a good show.From what I have been told by friends who have been in the audience.
Kate kicked the C**P out Of Michelle Heaton

If this is the show with kate thornton as one of the presenters, I was offered free tickets by applause for this by email last week for last Tuesday or Wednesday.

I would have been tempted to take the tickets , but I was already going to the Wembley X Factor tour on the Sunday, so it would have been too much of a rush for me to go to another show.

If this is the show with kate thornton as one of the presenters, I was offered free tickets by applause for this by email last week for last Tuesday or Wednesday.


Yes thats the show.. Did you enjoy X factor. I was there last sunday.

OOPs off topic.

I enjoyed it immensely I was even up jigging to the music

Back on topic.

They left it a bit late to offer the tickets though, they did the same with another show. I wish they would give a bit more notice instead of a few days.

A few days? Tickets were on sale well in advance. There will be some preview shots here hopefully by Monday, direct from the edit!

I was talking about free tickets offered to me through applause. If interested, I had to ring them. They only ever give you a few days notice with these tickets. They did the same with ready steady cook ones.

*Edit* Double post

would not bother going to the recording of the show, i took my family last saturday,what a let down. watched i bout which kate was in and the rest of the 2hrs we were there all we done was stand up , clap and cheer contenders coming into the studio. my lads were upset as the tickets promised lots of wrestling. by the way kate won her bout and was 3 up and that will be on show 2

Applause are rubbish Susan..

Thats a real shame Malc.. My friends said they enjoyed the wrestling.. but they did have a lot of entrances being filmed.

I was at the final yesterday. I thought it was really good! Kate however did not make it into the final.

What's she wrestling - a twiglet?

All I hope the celebs went all STRONG STYLE~! on each others asses or else I will be horribly disapointed by this concept.

LOL

I'd like to see Victoria Silvstedt kick Kate Lawler's ass.
And there's a good chance we can see that happen. Victoria is a tall woman who looks after herself. Kate would have little chance, and is bound to get a hiding if we were foruntate enough to witness this mismatch.


EDIT:..Ah, I've just read above that Victoria had to pull out through injury.

Didn't Victoria Silvestedt just pull out of Celebrity Big Brother too, because she was to present a show on American TV?

That girl will get a reputation if she's not careful........

BTW, talking of 'sports reality entertainment' what happened to The Games...........I thought the next series would be on by now.......


Didn't we hear that Craig Charles had turned down Celeb BB to do The Games ?

The Games is returning Swingaleg.
Teri Dwyer was talking about it on Des and Mel the other day.
Should be soon.

And I expect you to help me campaign for a "Games" forum Swing.
This time we will get our forum.
2 series, yet DS still hasn't given it it's forum it rightly deserves. (Being one of the best reality shows ever)

On this celebrity wrestling, well you and I know that James Hewitt is one tough cookie, as shown on The Games.
He did wrestling on The Games and he was very good.
Anything to do with power and he usually excelled at it.

Can see James winning this.
Mind you, Iwan Thomas is/was an athlete, and Marc Bannerman is quite a big lad.

OK, 'this' time I'll back you up............

But the last 'Games' didn't really take off on DS, there was only a handful of us posting ( usual suspects )

I agree that it's one of the best !

Perhaps a dedicated forum would draw people in

I bet they make her cry that's all she did in Big Brother anyway.
