A League of Their Own: Mexican Road Trip

Tuesday, 9pm, Sky Max & Sky Showcase

It's all sombreros, mariachi bands and tequila slammers as the A League of Their Own gang travels to Mexico for more epic sporting escapades following their Southeast Asia adventure last year.

Across four daredevil (and sometimes drunken) episodes, captains Jamie Redknapp and Jill Scott go head-to-head with teammates Mo Gilligan, Micah Richards and comedian Maisie Adam in a series of sporting challenges, including Mexican-style horse riding and roller skating at Mexico City's famous annual Day of the Dead parade.

There's also baseball, scuba diving, rock climbing and cocktail-making, as well as penalty-taking in front of a 60,000-strong crowd, with the ultimate loser forced to face a giant bungee swing across a desert canyon in a terrifying forfeit.

Here, Redknapp, 50, Richards, 35, and Adam, 30, talk through some of their fun-filled challenges...

RING OF FIRE

Lucha libre wrestling is a big deal in Mexico, and the gang is challenged to learn rope diving and body slamming before getting in the ring to show off their skills in front of wrestling fans at the famous Arena México.

Meanwhile, Redknapp decides to give them all Gladiators-style ring names, including El Guapo for himself, which means 'the handsome'.
