    ITV SEEKS ETERNAL GLORY 

     

    Eternal Glory follows eight sporting legends, bound together by camaraderie who will live together in a beautiful location, as they embark on a series of tough physical and mental challenges in a quest to win ‘Eternal Glory’ – with one star eliminated each week.

The series will be presented by Richard Bacon, alongside expert insight from TV’s leading sports scientist Professor Greg Whyte.

    ITV’s Commissioning Editor, Entertainment Kate Maddigan said: “We have seen sports stars succeed in dancing, the jungle, cooking and the ice but I can't wait to see them take on each other in these specially created challenges. This show is designed to reveal what makes sporting legends tick and I for one am excited to see under their skin and hear personal stories from their careers and beyond. With 8 of this country’s top sporting heroes going head to head we are in for a competition like no other and with Richard at the helm we hope to have plenty of laughs along the way.”

    Full of personal stories and old rivalries reignited, Eternal Glory follows the eight stars, who will be of all ages and disciplines. All are prize winners in their own sport, but what else are they good at? Each episode comprises of four tough physical or mental challenges. One athlete will go home in each episode, determined by the ‘night duel’ game.  Finally only one will emerge triumphant and achieve Eternal Glory.
