ITV Commissions 'Blue' Reality Show

ITV has commissioned a new show as boyband Blue go to Ibiza to embark on a new challenge.

The four members – Duncan James, Simon Webbe, Lee Ryan and Antony Costa – will travel to the island as they take over a chilled beach bar and turn it into a fun-seekers' hotspot.

Produced by Potato, the four part series will follow the singers as they all rise to the challenge of working in a beachfront bar in Ibiza's favourite party destination, San Antonio.

Though all is not what it seems for Blue, who soon find themselves at the mercy of a chauvinistic head bar man as well as a flamboyant PR representative as they become embroiled in amusing gaffes and situations at the partying hotspot.

However, unbeknown to the band their 'staff' and acquaintances are actors and comedians, whose deliberately outlandish comical creations are contrived to cause mischief and make their two weeks in Ibiza a stay they'll never forget.

With exclusive access as the drama unfolds, viewers will be able to follow the popular quartet as they have just 14 days to try to make their bar a success whilst falling foul of hilarious hoaxes all specially created to cause maximum mayhem.

Commenting on the experience, Blue said: "We thoroughly enjoyed running the bar and definitely see a potential future in this for Blue, but we still can't believe we were fooled into believing our closest confidantes in the bar were genuine!

"We've got into some unusual predicaments during our time in the band, but what the team tricked us into on the show was unbelievable... we're still shocked we didn't guess!"

Blue Go Mad In Ibiza is a Potato production for ITV2. The series was commissioned by Katy Thorogood, Commissioning Editor, Factual, ITV. The executive producers are Phil Mount and Michael Kelpie, and the series producer is Kate Jackson, Potato.

The series is coming soon to ITV2.
