ITV is set to fill its primetime Saturday night slot with 'Celebrity Wrestling', having signed up Princess Diana's former lover James Hewitt, Playboy playmate Victoria Silvstedt and 'Big Brother' winner Kate Lawler to take part.
Six men and six women will dress in tight Lycra and be given gladiator-style names for the series, due to air in March.
Other contestants lined up for the men's event include: athlete Iwan Thomas; Jade Goody's former partner Jeff Brazier; ex-'EastEnders' actor Marc Bannerman, who played Gianni de Marco; showjumper Oliver Skeete; and children's TV presenter Mark Speight.
Grappling against Silvstedt and Lawler will be Liberty X singer Michelle Heaton, Page Three pin-up Leilani Dowding, former tennis star Annabel Croft, with the D-list line-up completed by 'Wheel of Fortune' hostess Jenny Powell.
The winner of each group will be crowned King and Queen of the ring.
'X Factor''s Kate Thornton will present the show, with former WWF wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper taking on co-presenting duties.
Stephen Newton told us about it. Honeslty, he seems to think we'll watch anything. I have no idea what would make him think that. Koff.
