Synopsis
Ten celebrities are trained in gymnastics and circus arts by a professional coach. Alongside a professional partner, the celebs perform routines. The judges each award a mark out of 10, leading to a total out of 40.

The interval act is performances by trained gymnasts, including judge (and Strictly Come Dancing champ) Louis Smith.
