What happens

The Games is a British reality sports game show that ran on Channel 4 for four series, in which 10 celebrities competed against each other, by doing Olympic-style events, such as weight lifting, gymnastics and diving. At the end of the series, the contestants with the most points from each round were awarded either a gold, silver or bronze medal. The series was revived by ITV in May 2022, hosted by Holly Willoughby and Freddie Flintoff. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
