Stripey Horse Completes All 4 Series
A new series, Make Me A Famous Face, has been produced for All 4 by London-based independent production company, Stripey Horse.
The series, which has been made for Channel 4's digital platform, follows four individuals who have reached 'celebrity-like perfection' – through a series of plastic surgery procedures.
Make Me A Famous Face takes its inspiration from the passions that turn into obsessions; and looks at the individuals who end up building and changing their whole lives around what they love to the extent that, from an outsiders' point of view – and that of their friends and family – it appears extreme.
Filming for the series took place across the UK and features Jordan James Parke who is obsessed with reality television star Kim Kardashian. So much so, that he has spent over £110,000 to look like her. Also featuring in the series is Liverpool's answer to Pamela Anderson and the 'Human Ken Doll'.
Commenting on the show, Nicola Martin of Stripey Horse, said: "This is our first project working with All 4 and it's been fantastic. I think they saw our fascination with the different expressions of obsessions and fully supported how we wanted to tell their stories. Stripey also have a few other things in development and we're excited about our growing relationship with All 4."
Make Me A Famous Face is now available to watch on All 4 here.
