North East Gymnasts Win New ITV Talent Show and £100,000

The quartet of acro-gymnasts, competing as 'Acropolis', wowed the judging panel of Rio Ferdinand, Freddie Flintoff, Martine McCutcheon and Una Healy with their technique, skill and athleticism and, most importantly, creativity, style and flair to win GOLD and £100,000 for the Durham club.

Hosted by Vernon Kay, 'Let's Get Gold' is a sport meets entertainment mini-series of three pre-recorded episodes, broadcast across consecutive nights on ITV 1. Sporting teams from across the UK battled it out in front of a panel of celebrity pundits from the worlds of show-business and sport. Over three nights, 15 teams displayed their skills in disciplines as wide-ranging as Martial Arts and Cheerleading as they transformed their sports into the most spectacular and entertaining routine.

The judging panel consisted of former England captain and Premier League footballer Rio Ferdinand; former English cricketer Freddie Flintoff; singer and Laurence Olivier award-winning actress Martine McCutcheon; and singer-songwriter and part of successful girl group The Saturdays, Una Healy.

It is also recognised on the International scene as one of the top clubs in the world. The £100,000 prize won by Acropolis will be used to help more people progress in athletics at the County Durham club.
