Set in the paradise islands of Ha Long Bay, Vietnam, the contestants must put their difference aside and work together to tackle the "ultimate test of physical ability, mental skill and teamwork".
Channel 4 teases the compelling series: "Going head to head, the teams face a race to build a bridge over 1,000 feet of water in just 12 days to reach the cash held on top of 'Fortune Rock'. But will whoever reaches the money first choose to share it with their teammates?"

Speaking about her new role in a Channel 4 statement, AJ said: "The opportunity to front The Bridge has happened almost serendipitously. From the Strictly Ballroom I have taken off onto my next, new adventure. Literally.
"It's so exciting to front a show that promises to push the envelope and I know The Bridge is going to be bold, full of excitement and filled with plenty of drama. Bring it on."
AJ reached the grand final with her partner Kai Widdrington while competing on Strictly but was devastated after she was forced to pull out of the competition after sustaining an injury to her ankle.

Earlier this year, the presenter also backed out of the Strictly Live Tour due to the same injury. In a statement, she said: "I'm devastated not to be able to take part in the Strictly tour due to injury. I had hoped for one last dance with Kai, but I must obviously follow the medical advice.
"I wish my Strictly family the very best of luck on the road and I'll definitely be there to cheer them on."
