[edit] Format
The show is hosted by Ruby Wax. The three judges throughout the series are professional performers Louie Spence, Ann Dorwin, and circus director Phillip Gandey.
The celebrities are trained to perform various circus acts, and compete with each other for points from the judges and phone votes from the public on premium rated lines. The acts are interspersed with compere banter and video from the training sessions and interviews. The two scores are combined, 50% judges vote and 50% phone votes, and the two lowest scoring participants are candidates for expulsion.
According to the skyone website the judges will nominate one of the saved celebrities to eliminate one of the two contestants at the bottom of the scoreboard.[1] In the first two weeks only, reference was made to the highest scoring celebrity choosing between the two.
