The Jump 2015: Joey Essex's new nickname, ski slope selfies and skeleton fear

It's just a matter of weeks until Channel 4's ski-themed reality show The Jump kicks off and the celebrities are keeping us up to date with their Austria-based antics online.

In between training for the dreaded ski jump, skeleton runs and bobsleigh, they're posting scary-looking snaps of the slopes, bundles of selfies, revealing new nicknames and admitting their ski-based fears.

Here former TOWIE star Joey Essex, former rugby star Mike Tindall, newbies Chloe Madeley and Jodie Kidd and more give us a peek behind the scenes...

Joey Essex appears to be doing really rather well, already picking up a new nickname "Essex the Eagle" in a nod to champ jumper and trainer Eddie the Eagle
