Unexpectedly, Dwain Chambers has been evicted from Cirque De Celebrite tonight. The athlete was in the bottom two with my fave socialite, Isabella Hervey. Louie Spence and Gaby Roslin voted to save Isabella, while Phillip Gandey was the sole vote for Dwain.

It’s hard to say, but from the clips I saw, Dwain appeared to be powerful and competent. However, as Gaby Roslin said, both performers shouldn’t have been in the bottom two tonight - there were worse performers. But hey, no-one ever said the public vote was fair, did they?

I was flicking around tonight and came upon Cirque by chance, so I missed a bit of the start. Dwaine Chambers had just finished and Antonia Okonma was about to start, so here begins the round-up!

Bad Girl actress Antonia took the bungee this evening, but the VT they ran didn’t show much confidence - she has a fear of heights and got motion sickness from the activity. The performance was a bit stilted, but she did a lengthy spin toward the end.

Phillip Gandey said “you looked tense, just let yourself go and you will be fantastic”. Louie Spence was less supportive “I found it a little bit uncomfortable, you over-rotated a lot…it was bad”.

I missed the first series of Cirque de Celebrite last year. To be honest, the prospect of watching another set of has-been’s pretending to be circus performers was more than even this reality telly fan could stand.

Flicking around tonight though, I landed on Sky One and decided to watch Cirque for a while. Nothing else on tonight, so it couldn’t hurt.

I’m going to do a round-up post later, but on initial impressions, Cirque looks good. I’ve been disappointed by X Factor thus far. Strictly Come Dancing looked interesting on Saturday, despite Brucie’s attempts to turn it into a Royal Variety show circa 1968.

“I am hoping my outfits will get sexier as the show goes on,” Emily told the Daily Star Sunday. “Maybe I should wear less and less each week. That is a good reason for all the boys out there to vote for me.

“If I get to the final I will just wear two tassels over my boobs. Read more & comment »

GMTV presenter Jenni Falconer is set to move away from her good girl image and sex things up for the new series of Cirque De Celebrite.

Jenni will be presenting the Sky One extravaganza which launches tomorrow night. She told Sun online: “One of the advantages of hosting a big show is that you get to have a great outfit and there’s 10 shows so that means 10 great outfits.

“They’ve been designed by a team of stylists which is really exciting.”

She added:

“So as opposed to GMTV, which I wear my own clothes for, this time I’ve got someone designing dresses which are made to measure using couture fabric. Read more & comment »

Shane Lynch has just returned from honeymoon last week, and immediately he has been thrown into circus training, in the hope that he will be ready for the first live Cirque De Celebrite show on Sky One this Sunday.

Shane was the last celebrity to start training, and he has revealed that mastering the trapeze, isn’t as easy as it looks!

He told Teletext: “I didn’t realise how extreme it would be going from being on honeymoon to this.

“It’s been a hard hit. It’s so physically demanding and to see how the others are progressing means I’ve got to do some big style catching up. Read more & comment »

Australian model Emily Scott has vowed to take her Cirque De Celebrite training more seriously after being injured this week.

“I’ve had my first injury. But training is going really well, it’s so much fun, the first week just felt like we were in one big playground,” Emily told the Daily Star Sunday.

“The fun didn’t last long and we realised we were in a proper circus, learning serious circus stunts,” she continued. “Last week it got real, which kind of woke us up a bit. No more playing around now - this stuff is dangerous.”

The show kicks off on Sky One next Sunday.
