Freddie Flintoff to host new celebrity rowing competition

Freddie Flintoff is to host a new series which will see 12 celebrities row around the entire length of Great Britain.

Former England cricketer and Top Gear host Freddie Flintoff is to host a new five-part celebrity rowing competition for ITV.

Don't Rock The Boat is described as "one of the toughest shows ever filmed on both land and sea" and will feature 12 famous faces rowing around the entire length of Great Britain.

The show, hosted by Flintoff and AJ Odudu, will see the celebs split into two teams for an epic 650-mile coastal race, with checkpoints in each of the four nations of the UK.

"Don't Rock The Boat is one for the most strenuous physical challenges we've seen and will test our celebrities' endurance to the limit," said ITV's head of entertainment Katie Rawcliffe.

"As well as a nail biting race to the finish, we'll also get to showcase the stunning scenery of the British Isles. I can't wait to follow this exciting adventure."

The hosts and celebrities are currently believed to be in quarantine before filming starts next month.
