Format

The first series was hosted by Ruby Wax. The three judges for the first series were professional performers Louie Spence,[1] Ann Dorwin, and circus director Phillip Gandey. Gaby Roslin replaced Ann Dorwin for the second series. The celebrities were trained to perform various circus acts, and compete with each other for points from the judges and phone votes from the public on premium rated lines. The acts were interspersed with compère banter and video from the training sessions and interviews. The two scores were combined, 50% judges vote and 50% phone votes, and the two lowest scoring participants were candidates for expulsion. According to the Sky One website, the judges nominated one of the saved celebrities to eliminate one of the two contestants at the bottom of the scoreboard.[2] In the first two weeks only, reference was made to the highest scoring celebrity choosing between the two. A second series of Cirque de Celebrité broadcast in 2007, with Jenni Falconer replacing Ruby Wax as host. Big Brother winner Brian Dowling hosted a spin-off show, Cirque: Backstage at the Big Top. Cirque de Celebrité 1 was watched by a peak of 817,000 viewers. However, Cirque de Celebrité 2 averaged considerably less - peaking at around 400,000 viewers.

Series 2

Changes

For the second series, GMTV host Jenni Falconer replaced Ruby Wax as the ring mistress. Gaby Roslin also replaced Ann Dorwin on the judging panel, alongside Phillip and Louie. That year up until week 6, the judges did not give the contestants scores for their performances. That year two new celebrities joined the circus over half way into the show. Liam McGough, an ex-Big Brother housemate, and Rebecca Loos joined the show in week 6, due to Shane Lynch quitting after injury. They both performed on November 11, 2007 and the public voted to see which one they would like to see back as an official contestant the following week. Liam was chosen to stay in the competition and Rebecca was sent home, however Liam was voted off in the same episode.
