Comedians Lenny Henry and Ross Noble, alongside Amandaland star Lucy Punch, have taken a plunge into the shark-infested waters for a new ITV reality series titled 'Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters.' Joining them are TV presenter Ade Adepitan, McFly's Dougie Poynter, and Countdown's Rachel Riley. The show promises a thrilling ride as these celebrities face their fears and dive with various shark species around the Bahamian island of Bimini, home to hammerheads, bull sharks, and tiger sharks.
Ross Noble shared his excitement on Instagram, stating how much fun it was to participate in the show, which has been kept under wraps until now. The program marks the 50th anniversary of Steven Spielberg's iconic film 'Jaws.' Produced by Plimsoll Productions, the series will see celebrities confronting their greatest fear—sharks—while learning about their significant ecological role.
The show aims to provide a new perspective on sharks, showcasing their importance in the food chain and the ecosystem. Participants will undertake adrenaline-fueled challenges in the shark capital of the world, pushing their limits and coming face to face with the ocean's misunderstood 'villains.' All this excitement is wrapped in an effort to appreciate the value of these creatures and the frightening notion of a world without them.
So, get ready for some fin-tastic adventures as these celebrities swap their comedy routines for shark encounters, all in the name of entertainment and education!
