Sir Lenny HenryLucy PunchHelen GeorgeRachel RileyAde AdepitanDougie PoynterRoss NobleSir Lenny Henry
Job: Comedian
When he was asked about taking part, the comedian explained: "When the question was put to me, 'Would you like to go on an adventure of ecology and exploration involving sharks?' I didn’t have that cartoon special effect where my eyeballs jumped out of my head. I actually considered it and thought, 'Actually, I’d love to do that.'"
Lucy Punch
Job: Actor
"It has an important message, and while traditional wildlife shows are preaching to the converted, the entertainment element of a show like this on ITV makes it family viewing and brings a whole new audience," the actress explained of her taking part.
She added: "Aside from that, of course it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Although I had multiple reservations, I said yes almost immediately. I knew I’d regret missing out on such an insane, singular experience and it was that and more. It was everything it promised. Truly life changing."
Helen George
Job: Actor
Helen George has been a mainstay on television screens since 2012, best known for her portrayal of Trixie in BBC One's Call the Midwife.
For Helen, she is "quite scared" of swimming and began to question if it was a good idea to take part, but she was keen to push herself, so taking part "felt like a no-brainer".
Rachel Riley
Job: TV presenter
Rachel Riley is a TV presenter best known for co-presenter the Channel 4 series Countdown and its subsequent spin-off 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.
She explained: "It's not about making us look silly or putting us through unnecessary ordeals for entertainment. We were there in the shark's territory. We had to respect that and we were there to appreciate and enjoy it. We were a team.
"We weren't competing against each other. No one was there worried about staying till next week because there were no eliminations. We were just all in it together and we all wanted to succeed together."
Ade Adepitan
Job: TV presenter
Many will recognise Ade Adepitan for his work across TV, having fronted the likes of Africa with Ade Adepitan, Climate Change: Ade on the Frontline and Whites Only: Ade's Extremist Adventure.
"I'm a big environmentalist too, so there was an important message also at the heart of the programme," he added.
Dougie Poynter
Job: Musician
Dougie Poynter is best known for being one member of McFly and one of the many kings of the jungle after winning I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in 2011.
He described the feeling as though he switches "into this other person and any other worries completely disappear".
