THE REMAINING FIVE CELEBRITIES DIVE WITH JUNIOR CHAMPIONS, ON ABC'S "SPLASH"

Each Celebrity Will Be Paired with a Champion Junior Diver; One Celebrity Will Be Eliminated in a Final Dive-Off

"Episode 106" - For months, the celebrity divers have been training with legendary diver Greg Louganis, but this week the remaining five celebrities will partner and be coached by some of the sport's toughest critics, junior diving champions all between the ages of 10-12. Each celebrity and their junior partner will complete a synchronized dive, and the celebrities will be scored on their performance. The two celebrities with the lowest scores will compete in a dive-off to determine who will be sent home. Meanwhile, a hard landing in rehearsal leaves one celebrity with a black eye and pre-show nerves, on "Splash," TUESDAY, APRIL 23 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on ABC.

"Splash" marks the first time ten celebrities will train and compete in regulation platform and springboard diving at dizzying heights in front of a weekly poolside audience. After training with professional divers and being mentored by the world's most decorated and medaled diving legend, Greg Louganis, their dives will be critiqued by two judges, London Olympic U.S. Gold medalist David Boudia and Australian Olympic athlete and USA Dive Team director Steve Foley.

"Splash" is from Eyeworks USA and is based on the breakout hit and Dutch format, "Celebrity Splash." It is executive-produced by JD Roth, Todd A. Nelson, Brant Pinvidic and Josh Greenberg.
