Celebrity diving takes off in China
Han Geng and Vanness Wu in speedos? Raise your hand to vote yes!
As celebrity diving takes off in both the U.S. and Europe, how can the world's biggest diving nation fall behind? Like elsewhere, the two major diving formats, Celebrity Splash 中国星跳跃 and Stars in Danger 星跳水立方 are fighting it out in China. Jiangsu TV's Stars in Danger have already secured the Water Cube as a venue, with Vanness Wu, Chen Chusheng and Han Geng as the so-far confirmed guests. Joining them will be Olympic Champion Hu Jia with the soft and lovely commentator voice and springboard queen Gao Min.
While the entertainment star power is so far a little less for Zhejiang TV's Celebrity Splash, it still has eyecandy in model-actor Zhang Lunshuo as one of the three confirmed competitors, not to mention diver-turned-actor Tian Liang, super gossipy but adorable commentator Li Na , and the the entire Chinese national diving team.
Unlike the European/American versions, the Chinese version will be more hard-core with training months before the competition.
Which stars would you like to see in either competition?
