The Big Freeze on Channel 7 – Big Freeze 10 slides on with King’s Birthday special edition. Five AFL matches over five massive days on Seven.
The King’s Birthday holiday will once again host one of the best days on the AFL calendar with nine of Australia’s most iconic sporting legends set to take the plunge for Big Freeze 10, live and free on Seven and 7plus.
For the past nine seasons, the Big Freeze has been a crowd-favourite pre-match fixture at the Collingwood v Melbourne King’s Birthday blockbuster, with FightMND and AFL icon Neale Daniher sending a who’s who of the football, sport, and media worlds down the slide into Australia’s most famous ice bath.
With a special one-hour live broadcast on Channel 7, 7mate and 7plus, Australians can tune in to see their favourite stars embrace the Big Freeze tradition by dressing up and taking an icy plunge to raise funds for FightMND.
Announced last night on The Front Bar, Australian Olympic hero Mack Horton rounded out the team of nine sliders including Seven’s own Joel Selwood, Erin Phillips, Sally Pearson and James Brayshaw, alongside AFL stars Nic Naitanui and Jack Riewoldt, tennis legend Pat Rafter and recently retired Australian women’s cricket captain Meg Lanning.
Following this year’s slide and the King’s Birthday clash, Seven will celebrate a decade of triumphs and laughter with the hour-long special 10 Years of The Big Freeze on Channel 7 and 7plus.
From epic costumes to hilarious belly flops, 10 Years of The Big Freeze will roll out the red carpet for a group of Australia’s biggest stars and most iconic sliders including 7NEWS Melbourne’s Tim Watson and Rebecca Maddern, Garry Lyon, Rhonda Burchmore, Luke Darcy, Chris Fagan, Brian Taylor and many more.
Neale Daniher, the driving force behind FightMND, will also share his reflections on the journey so far, the incredible support from the community, and his ongoing commitment to finding a cure for MND, alongside his daughter and FightMND Campaign Director, Bec, and his wife Jan.
