ITV has announced the commissioning of a celebrity-based reality TV show for 2010 called 71 Degrees North.

The show will be filmed on location in Norway and feature celebrities competing in challenges to test their mental and physical strength.

Stars will swim in frozen fjords, climb glaciers, parachute into mountains, white water raft, sea dive and kayak, with one sent home from the ITV1 show every week as the rest continue their quest to the North Cape.

ITV controller of entertainment Layla Smith said: "To compete in one of the most alien environments in the world will test the celebrities in ways we've never seen before.

"It will be fascinating to see how they cope in this exhilarating and beautiful landscape."

Karoline Spodsberg of Nordisk Film TV added to The Mirror: "We've seen a lot of manipulative reality shows, but this will be tough and truly challenging."

Oh dear. This sounds like I'm A Celebrity in snow.

I'll probably end up watching though, to see if it's any good.

[Braden]

i'll watch it depending on what sort of media coverage and celebrities the show gets.

[Chels]

Off topic but the Janitor on Scrubs is probably the best sitcom character ever. :D

[Scarlett.]

I second that :joker:

[Fom]

This sounds strangely good...

[arista]

Yes bring it On.


But some Stars in there
it will be tough.
Make them Cry.


Bliss.

[Novo]

Arista do you like Polar bears

[King Gizzard]

I love Norway


Looking forward to this

[Jords]

This sounds quite good!

[arista]

Arista do you like Polar bears


They are OK


But I want to see Stars Suffer
and they will up there.

[GypsyGoth]

This seems fun.

[Scarlett.]

I'd forgotten about it xD the name isn't very inspiring xD looks good though

[GypsyGoth]

Lauren is the coolest there.

[LaLaLand]

Lauren is a God.

I could never do this though, they're all very brave. I can't begin to imagine how cold -27 degrees is and just in a tent. Christ!

[GypsyGoth]

This sounds dangerous.

[GypsyGoth]

Noooo!

[Callum]

Really liked it. Wasn't nothing special but it fills the BB void nicely. I really want to go to Norway!

[Jordan.]

Quite enjoyed this. Wish Lauren had stayed though.

[Kerry]

Snow is so knackering. Just walking in it tires you out. So felt for them

[Scarlett.]

I'm glad ITV1 are finally changing up their output a bit

[Kerry]

Remember it's on on Tuesdays from now on folks

[Scarlett.]

On Tuesdays? I thought it suited Saturday xD

[Kerry]

On Tuesdays? I thought it suited Saturday xD

Yep. Kate Thornton was on a programme earlier this week and said so. It's on this coming Tuesday. 9pm I think

[LaLaLand]

Gutted Lauren was first off! She would have been class viewing if she'd have stayed longer.

Feels weird though seeing Gavin Henson in both this and Strictly!

[Kerry]

I liked Lauren at first but she turned into a bit of a whinger

[Scarlett.]

Yep. Kate Thornton was on a programme earlier this week and said so. It's on this coming Tuesday. 9pm I think

I see lol, I can see this becoming quite successful in the wake of Big Brother, good move by ITV

[Kerry]

I see lol, I can see this becoming quite successful in the wake of Big Brother, good move by ITV

I'll be watching.

[Scarlett.]

Me too, I like shows like this :D

[Kerry]

Me too, I like shows like this :D

Me too. Loads of new shows popping up now thankfully. I'd be lost now BB has finished

[Scarlett.]

It reminds me of an early day IAC before the press began raving on about it :D new shows are what ITV needs desperately, they went through the majority of the 2000's with a diet of Poirot, Marple and Midsomer Murders xD C4's upcoming shows look good too

[Kerry]

Tonight - 9pm

[Kerry]

Still been watching though admittedly as a stop gap really or background noise :/

[Kerry]

Haha that was the best immunity challenge ever :joker:

[uvhater]

Strange that the other celebrities thing Gavin is invinsible. Ain't he a resting rugby player doesn't mean he was still in training then. Shane was well chuffed that he managed to beat him. Bless the reindeer - horns and all.

[Kerry]

He's still the fittest physically by far. Mentally too. Can't blame them for wanting him out. Get rid of the competition.

[Kerry]

Ooooh Andrews getting a right stroppy git.

[Callum]

Season 2 on ITV1 now

[Firewire]

Not on STV. Available in Scotland via ITV AD.

[GypsyGoth]

I think I prefer the red team.

[GypsyGoth]

Actually I hate that Rav guy, I'm up for the Blues.

[Firewire]

Red ftw!

Angellica is hilarious!

[Firewire]

Red ftw!

Angellica is hilarious!

[Kerry]

Not watching it this time around. The last one ended up boring me and I don't even know who one of the presenters is

[Joelle.]

Oh is this on again? :suspect:

-watched The Body Farm instead-

[Marsh.]

Paddy McGuiness has really ruined it for me. Can't watch anymore.

Don't know why Kate and Gethin couldn't do it anymore but Paddy is an awful presenter and his voice grates, constantly sounds like he's taking the piss which he probably is.

Wish he'd stick to stand up but looks like he's wormed his way in with ITV after that god awful Take Me Out.

[Callum]

I really hope Angellica goes far, she makes me think of my childhood because she used to be the face of CBBC during the time when I watched it. :love:

[Joelle.]

CBBC makes me think of this lot:

Paddy is just trying be to Peter Kay. He will always fail at it.
