Who’s top and who’s a belly flop of stars who love to leap off yachts
Olympic silver medal-winning diver and Splash! TV judge Leon Taylor rates our celebs out of five for poise and performance
YACHT again! Yet another scantily-clad celeb has been snapped leaping off a luxury cruiser into crystal-clear waters.
Russian model Irina Shayk, who is enjoying a break in Italy with her boyfriend, Hollywood heart-throb Bradley Cooper, is the latest star who’s been spotted making a splash.
She joins a host of celebs from Kate Moss to Cristiano Ronaldo who clearly love going overboard on their hols. But who cuts a dash jumping in and who is a belly flop?
Here, Olympic silver medal-winning diver and Splash! TV judge LEON TAYLOR rates our celebs out of five for poise and performance as they hang on to their cossies and take the plunge.
Irina Shayk
Score: 3.5
Leon says: “A flamboyant display from Irina, who star-jumps into the sea. An unusual take-off but she can’t help holding a pose for a camera.”
Kate Moss
Score: 5/5
Leon says: “To avoid losing her top Kate’s played it safe – jumping in feet first and also putting her hands up. That’s what we look for in a good take-off . . . not quite the take-off her male fans might like.”
Eva Longoria
Score: 1.5
Leon says: “This is a shape we teach five-year-olds. But she’s got elegance, with practice she’d be Eva so good.”
Beyonce
Score: 3.5/5
Leon says: “A pretty good attempt. She’s in freefall, having jumped off a very high yacht. If she’d thrown in a pike that’d be unBeylievable.”
Liam Payne
Score: 3.5/5
Leon says: “He has ’copter feet which should be together. Nice try but not Perfect.”
Nicole Scherzinger
Score: 2/5
Leon says: “It’s risky climbing on railings with wet feet. Take-off lacks the X Factor.”
Cristiano Ronaldo
Score: 2/5
Leon says: “He’s no stranger to diving – usually on the pitch. This is the position football fans see him in when he’s calling for a free kick. He’s flat as a pancake. More flop than top.”
Alessandra Ambrosio
Score: 3.5/5
Leon says: “A good shape going in but it’s too easy. In a competition she’d need to dive from a greater height.”
