Mike Tindall signs up for Channel 4 winter sports reality show 'The Jump'

Former England rugby captain Mike Tindall has reportedly signed up to take part in Channel 4 reality show The Jump.

The 36-year-old, who retired from rugby in July, is said to be one of the celebrity contestants who will take on a number of challenges, including speed skiing, skeleton racing and bobsledding.

According to the Daily Mail, Tindall, who was advised to avoid skiing holidays during his playing career due to a risk of injury, recently signed a contract for the second series, which is due to air early next year.

Singer Joe McElderry won the first series in February this year.
