The Farm return tonight as Celebs prepare for culture shock on five
Tonight sees the first show in the return of Five’s reality series The Farm, broadcast nightly for the next 18 days.
Last seasons farm will be a hard act to follow, Rebecca Loos antics with the pig, Stan Collymore and his mind games, and who could forget The Ice Man, rapper Vanilla Ice. Then there was Paul Daniels and his tantrums, and Debbie McGee and Margi Clarke.
Who have channel Five lined up this time the only leak seems to be Eastenders Jesse Wallace's lover, Dave Morgan.
Hosts Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan will present the first live show where the final line-up of the new celebrity farmhands is revealed.
All the celebrity farmhands will enter the farm live on tonight’s show and it will be the first time they'll see each other and the farm that will become their workplace and home.
Colin and Justin will present the live shows which, this year, will see the whole group vote to decide which two farmhands go head-to-head in a brand-new Elimination Duel.
This trial will be supervised by Colin and Justin and the loser will be automatically selected for the public vote with the winner deciding which other celebrity should be put forward too.
Colin McAllister said: 'I loved the first series of The Farm. It gave viewers the chance to see celebrities dealing with a very real situation. I would feel incredibly misplaced in the country as I’m a real city boy ' so for me there is nothing better than watching celebrities wallowing around in mud!'
Justin Ryan said: 'Having watched and enjoyed The Farm as a viewer it’s incredibly exciting to be in the thick of the action this time.'
Produced by Endemol UK, The Farm will once again see celebrities turn their backs on their city lives, convenience foods and luxury living, to face the harsh realities of life on a working farm.
Popular Farmer Ryan returns with vet Jon Huxley to guide the novice farmhands through their new life in the rural countryside far away from their everyday luxuries and prepare them for their daily tasks and trials.
This includes the day-to-day care of their animals and they’ll undertake daily farmyard jobs, ranging from mucking out and milking cows to collecting chicken eggs and herding pigs and sheep.
