is back on 麻豆社 ONE
Superstars
is back on 麻豆社 ONE after a 19-year absence. The legendary sports-entertainment
show returns with new presenters, a sizzling location and the cr猫me
de la cr猫me of sporting talent.
The
new series begins on Thursday 16 October on 麻豆社 ONE at 8.00pm.
The
Women's Final will be shown on 13 November and the Men's Final on
20 November.
Superstars
is a six-part series hosted by popular presenters Johnny
Vaughan and Suzi Perry.
The
men battle it out over four heats with the top two contestants in
each show claiming a place in the grand final.
The
women, not to be outdone, compete in a special one-off championship.
Presenter
Johnny Vaughan says: "Superstars was a great show - everyone
has fond memories of it.
"The
public demand to bring it back has been huge and this time we've
got a real mix from all areas of sport. Footballers like [Dennis]
Wise and [Stuart] Pearce are bound to spice things up and I can't
wait to see the girls in action!"
Co-host
Suzi Perry says: "When I was growing up, I absolutely loved
Superstars, seeing different sports favourites in different challenges
against each other.
"For
me, Brian Jacks, was the man! I'm sure the contestants will be taking
this very seriously and, whatever they say or show on the outside,
you know deep down that they really want to win."
Based
in La Manga in southern Spain, top sports stars such as Colin Jackson,
Dennis Wise, Stuart Pearce, Mark Foster, Darren Campbell, Ricky
Hatton,Tony Underwood, Paul Hunter, Richard Dunwoody, Annabel Croft
and Katharine Merry have signed up to take part in a variety of

Brian Jacks's outstanding gym performances, Kevin Keegan falling
off a bike at high speed and Malcolm Macdonald setting a record
for the 100 metres.
