Chris Boardman is one of Britain's most successful ever cyclists.

In a glittering career, he won gold for Britain at the Barcelona Games in 1992 and then bronze in Atlanta.

He also raced to two Tour de France prologue time trial wins before an illness similar to osteoporosis (a brittle bone disease) forced him to quit the sport.

Boardman is still an active sportsman and predicts archery - which he took up last year - canoeing and the 800m run will be his strongest Superstars events.

But he expects to struggle in the swimming event - Chris had his first ever lesson in preparation for the show.
