Cue mandatory 'Flying Without Wings' reference. 

Brian McFadden will be flying across our screens this January as he's reportedly signed up to be a contestant on Channel 4's very popular show The Jump, which is about to embark on it's third series. It's previously been won by TOWIE's Joey Essex and X Factor's Joe McElderry. 

This year, the show will have a Celeb Big Brother feel with all contestants living in a house together, as well as putting themselves in mortal danger (unless you're off Made in Chelsea and thus gone skiing every year since childhood). While no other contestant names have been confirmed, the rather athletic Linford Christie has also reportedly signed up. No pressure, Brian. 

McFadden is no stranger to reality TV, with him taking part in such well known shows as Get Your Act Together and Who's Doing The Dishes? in the past.
