For most of us, our experience of rowing doesn’t go any further than a boating lake on a summer afternoon. But 12 brave celebrities are about to discover far bigger obstacles to overcome than muddy reeds and the occasional duck…
In ITV’s brand-new series Don’t Rock the Boat, hosted by Freddie Flintoff and AJ Odudu, the stars have been set the challenge of rowing the length of Britain – over 500 miles from Cornwall to Scotland – and to make it even more tricky, they are racing as two teams of six. They’ll be facing long nights, blisters, seasickness, along with some land-based tasks.
Among the contenders are Olympic gold medallist turned sports pundit Denise Lewis, 48, and singer Fleur East, who turns 33 on 29 October. They are competing on opposite teams, and, here, they tell TV Times all about their epic adventure…
