And there is every reason to join us online: aside from getting all the latest news and pictures from The Village where the athletes are staying, we'll have exclusive behind-the-scenes interviews with the coaches and experts, as well as insider-guides to the many sporting events.
The famous faces being out through their paces this year are Kirsty Gallacher, Mel Giedroyc, Chesney Hawkes, Lisa Maffia, Jonathon Morris, Philip Olivier, Kevin Simm, Anna Walker, Craig Charles and Princess Tamara Czartoryski-Borbon.
They have already endured a gruelling three months' intensive training with world-class sporting experts and Olympic medal winners in preparation for The Games and are now ready and raring to go.
Competing in a range of Olympic sports is not going to be easy and to add to the pressure and for the first time this series, Sumo-Wrestling, Rowing, Water-ski Jump and Trampolining have all been added to the demanding competition.
Cameras will follow the celebrities every step of the way and this year there will be live coverage of each event on Channel 4 and live streaming before and after on E4.
So after watching all the action on television, catch up with the latest news and pictures on the website as The Games truly begins in style.
