Another bunch of super-fit athletes take on the Ninja Warrior UK obstacle course, the toughest in the country.

Watch out for DJs Rickie Haywood-Williams and Melvin Odoom, and Love Island star and professional surfer Laura Crane, plus last year’s finalist Sam West, who built a ninja course in his garden!

There’s also paraclimber Dave (pictured top of page), who suffered a brain injury 10 years ago following a motorcycle crash, and Kristina, a mum who makes Kammy eat his words!
