Splash! is a British reality television series that follows celebrities learning diving. The celebrities performed each week in front of a panel of judges and a live audience in an Olympic-size diving pool with the result each week partly determined by public vote. Gabby Logan and Vernon Kay presented the show, whilst Team GB Olympic Gold Medal-winning diver Tom Daley was the expert mentor to the celebrities.[1] It was filmed at the Inspire: Luton Sports Village, which is based in Stopsley, Luton.[2] The show premiered on ITV on 5 January 2013 winning the ratings battle for its 7:15–8:15 p.m. slot with an average audience of 5.6 million viewers, a network share of 23.6%,[3][4] however, it was cancelled on 24 June 2014 after just two series.[5]
The format for the show originated from the Celebrity Splash! franchise created by television production company Eyeworks in the Netherlands,[6] and was broadcast on SBS 6 as Sterren Springen Op Zaterdag (Celebrities Jumping on Saturday).[7]
