A TRASHY new show will follow real-life Stig of the Dumps surviving on a RUBBISH TIP.

Ten people will spend three weeks rummaging for food, clothing and shelter.

They will perform tasks — as garbage trucks dump rotting waste at the fully working UK site.

The Channel 4 reality show Dumped: Your Home Is A Tip echoes kids’ book Stig of the Dump about a caveboy living on a tip, which became a TV series.

Contestants have yet to be named — but telly chiefs say they would be happy to have Big Brother stars who have been dumped on the public, as our joke mock-up shows.

Producer Andrew Mackenzie warned: “Some of the tasks may be pretty gross.”

But Channel 4 boss Kevin Lygo insists there is a serious purpose — to highlight how much re-usable “junk” we throw away.

He said: “It’s about how we live and how wasteful we are. You’d be amazed what you find on tips. A similar show in Sweden turned up a working TV.”

The programme will be filmed at a secret location this year and aired nightly for a week in the autumn.
