Coming to Living on 11th FebruaryThe exclusive new series puts ‘rehab’ under the microscope by charting the journeys of seven fallen stars as they prepare to combat their various destructive addictions, at the established rehabilitation clinic Passages in Malibu, California.
The celebrities confronting their dangerous and potentially life-threatening habits are glamour models Alicia Douvall (body dysmorphia) and Cassie Sumner (bulimia), former Bay City Roller singer Les McKeown (alcoholism), X Factor favourite Rowetta Satchell (alcoholism), actress/comedienne and daughter of Britt Eckland and Peter Sellers - Victoria Sellers (drug addiction), musician and son of Dad’s Army’s John Le Mesurier and Carry On…’s Hattie Jacques - Robin Le Mesurier (alcoholism), and US Bold and the Beautiful soap star Sean Kanan (painkiller addiction). With their lives spiralling out of control, and their once successful careers overshadowed by their addictions, each has resolved to embark upon 2009 with a renewed outlook.
Each episode will follow a celebrity as they search for the determining factors that drove them towards their dependencies. In a world far away from showbiz parties, the stars will finally be able to face their demons to understand the pressures that have brought them to breaking point.
Seeking both sanctuary and solutions within the four walls of Passages clinic in Malibu, the seven individuals undergo a complex and intensive programme of treatment and therapy, designed by Director Chris Prentiss. With Chris gearing the treatment around a radical stance that there is in fact a cure for addiction - contradicting the 12 Step Programme adopted by AA – can his patients banish the cravings that their compulsions carry?
