Reality TV fans are probably more used to seeing presenter Paddy McGuinness shouting “no likey no lighty” in a snazzy-looking studio, but his latest hosting role sees him in a totally different environment. Footballers, professional dancers, Olympians, and more celebrities are taking part in Don’t Look Down for SU2C. So, let’s find out more about where Don’t Look Down is filmed.
The famous faces taking part in the Channel 4 show embark on a training journey with world-famous high-wire expert Jade Kindar-Martin. Once they’ve cracked it, they’ll all be rounding off their time on the show with a terrifying high-wire walk across the London Stadium for Stand Up To Cancer.
