Olympic legend flying in to launch MuchBetterChalets.com, public invited to jump with him.
Eddie the Eagle, ski jumping star of the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics, will be coming out of retirement to jump at this year's London Ski Show to celebrate the launch of MuchBetterChalets.com. He will then be hosting a 'Jump like Eddie' competition where members of the public will be able to don ski suits and take an airbag jump in the hope of winning his vote.
His chosen winner will secure themselves a lifetime 10% discount on ski chalet holidays, while all entrants will get their photo taken with Eddie, and a signed certificate of participation.
While Eddie has confirmed he is not considering a comeback from international retirement just yet, he is looking forward to strapping on the skis again at the show to celebrate the launch of a service that saves skiers time and effort organising their next holiday, and is already getting rave reviews from customers.
See Eddie at the London Ski and Snowboard Show - on Wednesday
The event will take place on Wednesday 31st October from 3 to 3.30pm at the airbag jump in the Ski Show, Earls Court.
