The Jump WILL Return To Channel 4

Earlier this year, The Jump courted all kinds of controversy due to a number of injuries, some of them pretty severe.

We can only assume they’ve already ordered a series-worth of cotton wool, bubble wraps and plasters. You know, just in case.

Davina McCall will return to host the winter sports’ competition after bosses reviewed safety standards and gave the show the green light to come back.

A source told The Sun: “For good and bad reasons The Jump was one of the most talked about shows on television last year. It still pulls in big names and offers up drama that longer-running shows do not.

“It’s the only reality show of its kind — and it gives it something else compared to other shows. The uncertainty and the occasional injury make it all the more interesting.

“An official announcement will come in due course, but from Channel 4’s point of view it’s a done deal.”

The show regularly pulled in over 2million viewers, who tuned in to watch Ben Cohen crowned the eventual 2016 winner.
