SIX Brits were arrested in a set-up on Sky’s new extreme reality show — for the MURDER of Eighties actress Brigitte Nielsen.

The unsuspecting contestants spent SEVEN hours behind bars after they saw Brigitte, 43, apparently killed by drug smugglers.

Their ordeal began when they answered a magazine advert to take part in a Greek sailing documentary.

But they were being set up for the show, Killing Brigitte Nielsen.

Four actors joined them on a boat with hidden cameras. Things started to go wrong when they “crashed” into a yacht being used by Celebrity Big Brother star Brigitte, 43.

Bogus drug traffickers storm the boat — and kill Brigitte.

Then Greek “cops” haul the holidaymakers off to jail to be interrogated.

The truth is finally revealed after a staged prison break.

Producer Alki David said: “It is based on managing someone’s entire reality . . . like The Trueman Show movie. We never made anybody feel they were in any personal danger.

“We played back the contestants’ audition tapes to psychologists to ensure they wouldn’t crack. And the jail cells were always unlocked.”

But a female contestant is believed to have threatened legal action. Sky Travel will screen the show on March 19.

Lmao! Thats pure terrible like!

They can't claim it's a psychological experiment either, because it goes against the BPS guidelines. Ethics, anyone?

Lmao, still mint though. When I'm a psychologist I'm gonna do secret experiments like this.
