Well, if you like watching Z-list celebtrities then ITV is the network for you this summer. What with a list of such fascinating sounding programmes, who can resist not tuning into the nations 'favourite' channel!
Celebrity Love Island - 10 D-list celebrities are marooned on a desert island, with inhabitants of the island pampered and preened. It is hoped that the 10 attractive, single celebrities will find romance with one another, wooing younger viewers and creating tabloid interest. The new show would go "head to head" with Channel 4's Big Brother.
Celebrity Wrestling - will feature celebrities such as James Hewitt, the former Big Brother winner Kate Lawler and the former tennis star Annabel Croft wrestling.
Have I Been Here Before? - As part of a new daytime schedule, Philip Schofield will present a show featuring celebrities such as the DJ Neil Fox, who will try to go back to their past lives with the help of a regression therapist, Andrea Foulkes
Celebrity Shark Bait - As part of a season based on the 30th anniversary of the movie Jaws, this will feature four celebrities confronting the creatures on the sea bed.
Hit Me Baby One More Time - will pit five former pop stars, including the 80s new romantic Howard Jones and the 90s girl group Honeyz, against one another, with viewers deciding the winner.
And still more celebrities will be rounded up to star in another series of Celebrities Under Pressure, With a Little Help From My Friends, and Hell's Kitchen.
Mr Pickard denied that ITV was in danger of celebrity overkill: "It covers a wide multitude of programmes now. Some of the people we've discovered are now going on to front their own shows. But it's all in the hands of the public."
Is it in ITVs programme guidelines now that all entertainment programmes have to feature these moronic celebrities? Each of these 'highlights' sounds cheap, tacky, and smacks of desperation!
