"I'm not a mackem, get me out of here.........................."

With the continuing success of "I'm a Celebrity, get me out of here", ITV have decided to use a similar format for a UK based spin off show, "I'm not a mackem, get me out of here".

D list celebrities will be forced to live in Sunderland as locals for a period of 6 weeks. During this time they will have to spend the weeks experiencing the same activities that fill a typical mackem's day. These will include being guests on the Jeremy Kyle show, window-licking, shoplifting, and having sexual relations with members of their own families.

As with the original show, contestants will be forced to suffer many "trials" including eating various disgusting dishes that the locals think of as delecasies.............cheesey chips, and having to endure watching the local football team, Sunderland Nil, on a foreign satelite channel from a pub or club in the area. (If filming coincides with Sunderland Nil playing against their local rivals Newcastle United, the celebrities will be provided with tickets for the game but will have to leave at half time and be forced to sit on a bus during the second half)

A spokesman for the programme makers said, "We are looking at areas that provide the very worst conditions for the contestants to endure, and we feel that Sunderland, with its lack of daylight from being in Newcastle's shadow, and all the locals sharing the same DNA, provides the most uncomfortable of environments."

He also went on to say that the celebrities would find it difficult to cope with the knowledge that civilisation was only a few miles away in the bright lights of Newcastle.

Ant and Dec have been approached to present the show but they refused to get involved as they felt that there were far too many disgusting bugs and creepy crawlies in Sunderland.

 

Where did you get that link from? If not very funny, but no doubt the mackems will moan and say we're more bothered about them. Maybe we could force them to have to have to put with Sinatta singing naked all day as well.

 

i'd watch it

 

I think it could be a challenge to get this up and running as The Grim Reaper, Stig of The Dump, The all Ireland Bog Snorkelling Champion and the bloke who empties the dog sh*te bags out the bins in our local park have all declined invitations to take part.

 

As did Asamoah Gyan, who chuckled "Oh no. You're not going to catch me out like that again!"

Niall Quinn, delivered his farewell address.

 

On Celebrity tonight, they've set a tough task for the Bushtucker trial.A kangaroo has to eat one of Fatima Whitbread's testicles!

 

You're not going to get a kangaroo skin and take it's place are you Jim?

 

put it on twitter

 

I'd defo watch it.

To make it more hell, they have to be chained to a chair and stare at a pic of Steve Bruce's face all day, and be forced to read some of McLovin's rants...
