Celebrities Locked Up Celebrities have put themselves behind bars in the latest reality TV show for the autumn. Linford Christie, Jack Osbourne and Donal MacIntyre experienced life as inmates in one of the "world's harshest prisons" for the new Virgin 1 series. The show, entitled Prisoner: X, also features Joe Pasquale, Marc Bannerman, actor Will Mellor, author Toby Young and former Coronation Street actress Debra Stephenson. Britain's former Olympic 100 metres gold champion Christie spent time in Belize's Central Prison. Investigative journalist MacIntyre experienced life in a grim, sparse cell normally reserved for those facing the death penalty in Louisiana State Penitentiary. Sharon Osbourne's 22-year-old son was extracted from his cell and strip searched in Shelby County Jail, Memphis, while Young, the British author of How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, requested a stab vest in Westville Prison, South Africa, after fearing for his own life. Bannerman was locked up in Germany, and Stephenson in the US - but none of the celebrities endure life in a British jail. Daniela Neumann, Virgin1's director of programming, said: "For the first time ever we will genuinely see these celebrities eat, sleep and shower in the most disgusting prisons in the world." waveguide.co.uk |
