EXCLUSIVE Junkies to do cold turkey on Big Brother-style show A SHOCKING TV show featuring heroin addicts doing cold turkey in a Big Brother-style house is to be shown on Channel 4. The programme - fronted by newsreader Krishnan Guru Murphy - is to be aired later this month. Addicts will be monitored 24 hours a day as they try to give up. Experts predict sparks will fly when the contestants' bodies are ravaged by the effects of quitting the Class A drug. A source said: "It's an unusual idea, but it's a great chance to show people what it's like to quit a drug like heroin." The show, called Cold Turkey, will be filmed in a clinic near Harrogate, hours Yorks, and starts its five-day run on February 20. Last night DrugScope spokesman Harry Shapiro said: "We have expressed serious concerns. "Heroin addicts are incredibly vulnerable people and we are worried they could be exploited." But Channel 4 bosses denied the show would put the contestants at risk. A spokesman said: "We are hoping to inform youngsters about the harsh reality of beating drug addiction." Sundaymirror |
