The Jump 2017: It’s lycra galore as first official pictures are released

The contestants can be seen posing against the backdrop of picturesque snowy mountain scenery and Channel 4 have given them nowhere to hide in their skintight ski suits.

TV personality Josie Gibson, who found fame after winning Big Brother in 2010, looks to be putting on a brave face after the 31-year-old was pictured having a number of painful falls in training.

She has been having private training sessions with instructors in an attempt to help her master the unfamiliar discipline.

Another star to have taken a tumble is The Only Way Is Essex star Lydia Bright, who was seen landing in a heap when she lost control of her skis during training earlier this month.

Louis Smith, Lydia Bright & Vogue Williams hit the ski slope

Another star to have taken a tumble is The Only Way Is Essex star Lydia Bright, who was seen landing in a heap when she lost control of her skis during training earlier this month.

The show's fearsome reputation for celebrity injuries doesn't appear to be bothering Irish model Vogue Williams, who looks effortlessly chic in her pale blue ski suit, showing off her enviable figure and keeping up with her glamorous image wearing her blonde locks in big, bouncing curls and a delicate pale pink blush on her cheeks.

Made In Chelsea lothario Spencer Matthews is pictured rocking his trademark swagger in spite of his figure-hugging reflective suit, and even the mountain air can't ruffle his perfectly coiffed hair.

A host of big sporting names are bringing a serious competitive edge to this year's series, with Sir Bradley Wiggins, former England football player Robbie Fowler, Paralympian Kadeena Cox, ex-Wales rugby pro Gareth Thomas and rugby union's Jason Robinson OBE being among the star-studded line-up.

Strictly winner and Olympic gymnast Louis Smith is also taking to the slopes, along with this year's youngest contestant, Olympic gold medal-winning taekwondo athlete Jade Jones.

Both Bradley and Louis have spoken confidently about taking on The Jump, with Louis telling The Sun: "As a professional athlete I'm massively competitive. I love skiing and I'm pretty fearless when it comes to any snow sports so can't wait to get out there."

Comedian Mark Dolan appears less than comfortable in his bright orange lycra, but American lingerie designer Caprice Bourret somehow manages to maintain a stylish look in spite of the unflattering suits.

Niece of Camilla, Emma Parker Bowles poses defiantly and looks to be ready to take on the challenge after telling the publication that she is "an adrenaline junkie".

The Jump starts next Sunday on Channel 4.
