Celebrity Splash! (Australian TV series)
Celebrity Splash! was an Australian reality television series that follows celebrities as they try to master the art of diving. The program premiered on the Seven Network on 29 April 2013 and was hosted by Larry Emdur and Kylie Gillies.[1] The celebrities performed each week in front of a panel of judges and a live audience in an Olympic-size diving pool with the result each week partly determined by home viewers.[2] After poor ratings, the show was moved from its original prime-time slot, with the second semi-final episode shelved. Instead, the show's final aired on 16 May 2013.
