NEW YORK, Oct. 6 (UPI) -- ABC-TV said it has picked up a reality show
based on the Netherlands hit "Celebrity Splash," in which celebrities
are taught complicated dives.

The show has been a success in the Netherlands, tripling the ratings
average of Dutch broadcaster SBS 6 and collecting a 26.5 percent
market share since its August premiere, The Hollywood Reporter
reported Friday.

The format had already been sold to broadcasters in Britain, France
and Australia, the entertainment industry publication said.

As part of the show, celebrities train with professional diving
instructors for weeks to perfect dives from as high as 10-meter high
boards, incorporating backflips, somersaults and other gymnastic
maneuvers.

An air date for the Eyeworks USA-produced show has not been set.
