Channel Five is to launch new programme My Body Hell this autumn. The show will focus on women’s body obsessions and will centre around a different body part each week, such as spots, breasts, cellulite and body hair.
The series will have celebrities taking part and the first will be Michelle Heaton, who will attend a premiere without make-up or fake tan as part of the show.
Steve Gowans, Controller of Factual Entertainment at Five, said: “It’s full, frank and really rather shocking.
“The full extent of what women put themselves through hasn’t been shown on TV before, and Body Hell is thought provoking and pulls no punches.”
The third season of the acclaimed medical drama concludes this week with an action-packed double bill. In the first instalment, the doctors handle a 16-year-old chess prodigy with raging
headaches; while, in the season finale, House treats a woman who has travelled from Cuba just
to see him.

Twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, the Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service are on the front line - on call to deal with fires, emergencies and accidents. For the largest fire service in the UK outside of London, who respond to over 52,000 incidents a year, there is no such thing as an average day at work for its crews – with no one incident, fire or situation ever the same.

Channel Five has bought the rights to yet another hit US TV show, this time, David Duchovny’s new comedy, Californication.
The Sun reports:
The X-Files actor, 46, plays troubled novelist Hank Moody who is hooked on drink and drugs.
It co-stars Natasha McElhone as Hank’s ex-wife Karen and Madeleine Martin as their teenage daughter.
C5 executive Vanessa Brookman said: “I’m delighted that we have acquired the rights to Californication which is witty, sexy and original.”
Five has renewed its TV licensing deal for the Golden Globe® and SAG Award® winning smash hit U.S. hospital drama series Grey’s Anatomy, with Disney’s Buena Vista International Television.
The new deal will continue to give Five the exclusive UK terrestrial rights to the series, which is the number one scripted programme in Adults 18-49 in the U.S.
Acclaimed by audiences and critics alike, Grey’s Anatomy is the recipient of multiple Emmy Award nominations and winner of the Golden Globe® and SAG® awards for Best Television Series – Drama and Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series, respectively.
Vanessa Brookman, Five’s Controller of Acquisitions, said: “I am delighted that we have renewed our deal for Grey’s Anatomy. The show is a perfect fit for Five’s raft of top rating acquired dramas.”
Five young men who posted videos of themselves conducting Jackass-style scientific experiments on each other on YouTube have been awarded their own show on Channel Five.
The show will be called Guinea Pigs and will investigate such questions as ‘Why can’t humans eat grass like cows?’ and ‘What is it like to be shot when wearing a bullet proof vest.’
“The hope is that the viewer will get to know and love the guys, rather than viewing them simply as anonymous guinea pigs,” says executive producer Katy Thorogood.

Mr Men will return to our TV screens for the first time in more than a decade.
the show will be airing as part of Channel Five’s Milkshake morning slot.
“The new Mr Men Show is a funny and engaging programme that will sit perfectly within the Milkshake! strand,” said Five’s controller of children’s programming Nick Wilson.
After one of its main actors publicly used a gay slur towards one of his fellow co-stars last year, Grey’s Anatomy producers were no doubt surprised to have won the award for outstanding individual episode at the GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) media awards.
The Alliance demanded an apology from the show in January, after Grey’s Anatomy actor Isaiah Washington allegedly used a derogatory term about co-star TR Knight last year.
Very forgiving people!
