FIRST LOOK: Lucy Mecklenburgh and Sarah Harding lead the line up as stars of BBC1's latest reality TV show Tumble are revealed
Meet the stars twirling a ribbon to the beat of BBC1's new celebrity talent show, Tumble, this August.

Familiar reality TV face Lucy Mecklenburgh of TOWIE fame will be performing the splits alongside a Loose Woman and a professional boxer in Andrea McLean and Carl Froch respectively.

Also in the line up are Wolfblood actor Bobby Lockwood, EastEnders' John Partridge and Dynasty actress Emma Samms, alongside Mr Motivator, whose inclusion has been called into question due to a recent injury.
Mentored by Olympic gold medalist Beth Tweddle and judged by gymnast and Strictly Come Dancing winner Louis Smith, the competing contestants will certainly be in good hands for the channel's first gymnastics project.
The celebrities have also been paired with an eclectic mix of circus performers, acrobats and gymnasts as their official training comes to an end for the start of live shows on 9 August, hosted by The One Show's Alex Jones.

Essex babe Lucy Mecklenburgh will be joined by circus performer Billy George, a master of the Cyr Wheel (an acrobatic hoop designed to manipulate the body across a dance floor), which is expected to see the dainty brunette using apparatus in her routines.
The 22-year-old beauty has already been showing off her gym-honed physique in Rome this week as she holidays with friends ahead of the show hitting screens.
Having expressed her excitement at attending Circus School in preparation for the live performances, reality TV star Lucy can be seen boasting endless pins and a petite frame in a pink leotard for the promo shots.

Meanwhile, Cirque de Soleil performer Kat Would will work alongside EastEnders' John, giving him a lesson or two in artistic flair before he hits the dance mats this August.
Britain's Got Talent winners Doug Fordyce and Alex Uttle (who rose to fame as members of dance troop Spelbound in the BBC show) will go head to head as they work with Sugababes singer Amelle and TV presenter Andrea, in the hope of bringing their winning streak to the BBC's latest talent project.
Amelle makes a smouldering partnership with her male counterpart Doug with her washboard abs giving a hint at her athletic capacity ahead of the programme's launch next month and can also be seen performing the splits in the first images of the new series.

Carl Froch and Bobby Lockwood have both been paired with petite counterparts, in the form of circus skilled Sita Bhuller and acrobat Kristin Allen, to offset their sizeable builds.
Though one professional gymnast who will be taking a back seat on the BBC this year, is Strictly Come Dancing winner Louis.
The silver medal-winner will instead be in observation, joined on the judging panel by gold medal gymnasts Craig Heap and Nadia Comaneci as well as French choreographer Sebastien Stella.
