C5 puts celebs In Solitary

NEWS BRIEF: Channel 5 in the UK has commissioned a celebrity follow-up to its social experiment show In Solitary from Belfast-based indie Stellify Media.

The original format saw four members of the public live in solitary confinement with no screens or connection to the outside world. Now, celebrities including rapper Professor Green, TV presenter Anthea Turner and comedian Shazia Mirza will take on the challenge, with the show airing later this summer.
