IT’S been eight years since viewers were last treated to the sight of contestants getting pelted in the face by Total Wipeout’s legendary Big Red Balls.
But the water-based assault course game show, which became a cult classic, is being brought back — with two new presenters. I can reveal that Top Gear favourites Freddie Flintoff and Paddy McGuinness are taking over from where Richard Hammond and Amanda Byram left off and have signed up to front a series of classic moments from the show on BBC1.
The new six-parter, called Total Wipeout: Paddy And Freddie Takeover, will see the duo voice over some of the best clips from the show, which ran for three years before it was axed in 2012.
