Former NFL star Terrell Owens and professional surfer Bethany Hamilton have signed up to appear on new diving show Stars In Danger: The High Dive on Fox.

The sports stars will be joined by the likes of former reality Jersey Shore star Jwoww and actor David Chokachi as well as four other celebrities from TV and film.

The contestants will be taught a variety of diving challenges, including solo and synchronised diving for the show, which will premiere on Wednesday, January 9.

The show is similar to UK reality programme Splash!, which is due to begin next year and will be fronted by Olympic bronze medallist Tom Daley.
