Yahoo News S Club 7 & Saturdays stars face off in Celebrity Boxing
The BBC has managed to wrangle Spencer Matthews and members of S Club 7 and The Saturdays to step into a boxing ring and actually fight for an upcoming TV special.
In a format that sounds way too good to be true, four stars will go through extensive training for a special Sport Relief programme called - you guessed it - Celebrity Boxing! And the matches are pretty exciting too!
Freddie Flintof announced the line-up for Celebrity Boxing at the National Television Awards on Tuesday, starting with Made in Chelsea pretty boy Spencer Matthews facing off with World Cup and England footballer Wayne Bridge.
But before you count out Spenny, remember that he's had some boxing training in the past, including once sparring with former pro boxing champion David Haye.
In the second bout, two of pop's all-time biggest girl groups collide when Hannah Spearritt from S Club 7 squares off with Vanessa White from The Saturdays in a bout that will surely have viewers All Fired Up.
Our advice for Hannah is Don't Stop Movin', and definitely rely on some of the scrapping you learned from tangling with the Taylor family on EastEnders.
Calling the sure-to-be-cringeworthy action will be the dream team of Freddie Flintoff, Gary Lineker and Davina McCall, all in aid of raising money for Sport Relief.
"These bouts are an excellent example of how anyone can take up boxing in a safe, regulated, enjoyable and rewarding environment," England boxing's Gethin Jenkins promised. "Sport Relief is a fantastic charity event raising millions and putting back into the community including some of our member clubs.
"The Celebrity Boxing provides not only an opportunity to raise money for the charity but to also showcase the benefits of amateur boxing when conducted within the Governing Body's rules."
Celebrity Boxing will be airing as part of the Sport Relief telethon on Friday, March 23 on BBC One, so llllllllllllllet's get ready to rumble!
