The Jump 2015: what’s going on behind the scenes?

Next month a brand new batch of celebrities will be hitting the slopes in the hope of being crowned champion of The Jump 2015. There’s high-speed skating, slalom courses and – of course – the dreaded live ski jumps to contend with in this second series of the Channel 4 show.

There’s been plenty of training going on, both here and in Innsbruck, Austria, where host Davina McCall will join the celebs as the series kicks off on our tellies.

While the brave celebs get into the swing of things, we take a peek at the action behind the scenes, as tweeted by the competitors…
