For the second series, GMTV host Jenni Falconer replaced Ruby Wax as the ring mistress. Gaby Roslin also replaced Ann Dorwin on the judging panel, alongside Phillip and Louie. That year up until Week 6, the judges did not give the contestants scores for their performances.

That year two new celebrities joined the circus over halfway into the show. Liam McGough, an ex housemate on Big Brother, and Rebecca Loos joined the show in Week 6, due to Shane Lynch quitting after injury. They both performed on 11 November 2007 and the public voted to see which one they would like to see back as an official contestant the following week. Liam was chosen to stay in the competition and Rebecca was sent home, however Liam was voted off in the same episode.
