Dame Kelly is lined up alongside three other sports personalities as the team captain to one of the 4 competing teams alongside Sir Steve Steve Redgrave and Olympic silver medallist Roger Black (4th team captain to be confirmed)
Five will air eight hour-long shows with sportspeople competing in four teams including footballers Lee Sharpe and Roberto Di Matteo, cricketer Graham Thorpe, 400m runner Iwan Thomas, swimmers Mark Foster and Karen Pickering, boxer Jane Couch, rugby stars Mike Catt and Austin Healey, cyclist Chris Boardman, skier Alain Baxter and bob skeleton Olympic medallist Shelley Rudman.
Events will include gym tests, tug of war, beat the keeper, indoor speed climbing and diving.
Robert Charles, Five’s sport controller, said: “Superstars has a unique place in TV history and we are delighted to be able to bring the concept back to the screens, albeit as a team event which we think will make great viewing as the different personalities come to life over the eight programmes.
“The athletes that we’ve managed to attract are from the very top of their respective sports so you can bet on it being compelling television and very, very competitive.”
