Not really celebrities are they though?
I suppose that you could say Jodie Kidd and the two sportsmen (Gough and Healey) are at least known for something, but the rest are just regulars on the reality TV merry-go-round, which resides in Dante's lowest level of hell.

Publicity seeking tossers. Cycling is the in thing now so every half baked media tart "Just has to be seen on a bike, dahling".
Give it a few more years when the boom is over and their bikes will be gathering dust in the garage, just like their Yamaha R1's and their jogging gear was after those sports no longer got their attention craving mugs all over the papers.
Controversial I know and I am well out of kilter with the vast majority of forum members. but I hate cycling being popular.

There's virtually nothing here but it appears to be on next Monday (28/11/16) on Channel 5 at 7pm. Don't know it it's a repeat. Only heard of it because Skoda emailed me something about it.
I will give it a go. I normally detest all celeb-reality-TV shite but the cycling might make it bearable. I've always fancied having a go the the Étape du Tour.
Anyway, it'll be pay-back for my family having Strictly on every Saturday night.

I fully understand the publicity seeking tossers thing, but hate cycling being popular is a strange sentiment on a cycling forum.

Thanks for that

I'll give it a try, despite some of the "celebs"
And this is quite a quote from Jodie Kidd ahead of the show:

Let's see: bunch of people who haven't done much cycling tackling a pretty rough day in the mountains. If they were ordinary members of the public we'd applaud their efforts. But, they're celebs. Enter chorus of sneers. Why? they're still ordinary physical specimens (Healey, Gough and Kidd excepted) They face the same challenges as Joe Public but have the advantage of top riders giving them advice. Feel free not to watch. Me, I'll watch to see what problems they face and how they meet them. Mountain descents scare them half to death? Me too, probably. Do they improve? If so, how and how much. Who knows, some of us might even learn something.
Cycling getting hatefully popular? How awful. Next thing you know we'll have a big enough pool to draw that from we'll be winning World and Olympic championships. I shudder at the prospect.
