I wanna give it my best shot but I'm worried that I could simply freeze and say I'm not doing it."I'm really hoping that doesn't happen cos I've got just this one shot to get it right." Competing in The Games alongside Christine are former Love Islanders Chloe Burrows, Olivia Attwood and Wes Nelson, Strictly's Kevin, Real Housewives of Cheshire star Christine, The Wanted's Max George, newsreader Lucrezia and Emmerdale actor Rebecca.
