Seven unveils its celebrity splashers

Seven has unveiled its cast for its much-hyped reality TV program Celebrity Splash, the UK version of which was described as being the “biggest belly-flop”.

Topping the list is none other than celebrity trophy wife Brynne Edelsten. The full cast is:

Brynne Edelsten, socialite

Josh Thomas, comedian

Leisel Jones, Olympic gold medalist

Koby Abberton, ‘Bra Boy and extreme surfer

Demi Harman, Home & Away

Andrew Symonds, former Australian cricketer

Denise Drysdale, TV legend

Adam Richards, radio star

Tamsyn Lewis, athlete

Andrew Welsh, AFL player

Renae Ayris, Miss Universe Australia

Pauly Fenech, comedian

Laura Csortan, TV star

The program incited a social media backlash and prompted critics to unsheathe their claws after it made its debut in the UK.

Despite the backlash the show’s first episode has been described as a ratings winner after 5.5 million people tuned in. The program also achieved a peak audience of 6.3 million.

But the result did not stop the Daily Mail from asking if celebrity diving is TV’s “biggest belly-flop”. The same paper also said the show was “so bad it was good”.
