Rumours had been doing rounds for quite some time about this year's contestants of Khatron Ke Khiladi being paired with heroines and models. Quite a departure from the last two seasons when they were paired with commoners.

After the infamous slap and make- up Harbhajan Singh-Sreesanth incident, the two bowlers had participated in the Colors’ dance reality show and now we hear they have agreed to be part of the third season of <em>Khatron Ke Khiladi.</em> A few names of international and our desi cricketers who are participating in the show have been doing the rounds and Singh and Sreesanth are among the 13 contestants.

The third season of Khatron Ke Khiladi will feature both national and international cricketers but it won’t be hosted by Akshay Kumar. Instead, Priyanka Chopra will make her debut as host. Chopra has already announced her presence in the show on a social networking site. “It is official that I will be hosting <em>Fear Factor’s</em> upcoming season.” Priyanka has already displayed her skills of doing her own stunts in a couple of films.

Season 3 of Khatron Ke Khiladi will be a testosterone-heavy series what with cricketers both Indian and international will put their fears to test, with of course host Akshay Kumar.
