Camilla Parker Bowles's niece Emma will be hitting the slopes on The Jump next year. God save the niece!

In a turn of events nobody saw coming, Channel 4's gruelling extreme winter sports competition has snagged an actual member of the (extended) royal family for its fourth series.

Not just any member of the (extended) royal family though! Emma Parker Bowles is a model and automotive writer whose work you've probably read in Top Gear Magazine.

"I am really excited about taking part in The Jump," she told The Sun. "I have the ability of a mountain goat and am an adrenaline junkie so it's right up my alley."

Emma is the daughter of Richard Eustace Parker Bowles, whose brother Andrew Parker Bowles was married to the now-Duchess of Cornwall from 1973 to 1995.

While Emma's probably not spending Christmases at Buckingham Palace anymore thanks to Camilla's divorce, she is legitimately (if tangentially) connected to the House of Windsor.

After Heather Mills they didn't want to risk anyone's fake body parts flying off on the way down.
