'Undercover Boss' Coming Back To The UK

News Image
Global series 'Undercover Boss', which sees company executives disguise themselves as employees, is coming back to UK TV.

ITV has commissioned a reboot of the Emmy award-winning format from Studio Lambert that will follow four bosses across Britain as they experience their businesses through the eyes of the employees. Across four episodes, the show will follow bosses from removals company Pickfords, car dealership Bristol Street Motors, Residential Park and Holiday Home operator Wyldecrest Parks and Indian takeaways supplier Euro Foods Group.

ITV Factual Commissioner Kate Teckman said: "As we come out of the pandemic it's clear that there's never been a bigger gap between the multimillionaire bosses and their workers, so this is the perfect time to bring viewers an all-new Undercover Big Boss as we see how they will fare swapping their corporate dinners for packed lunches and what changes they will make for their workers."

Studio Lambert's deputy Creative Director Mike Cotton added: "There's never been a more relevant time to bring Undercover Boss back. It's a fascinating snapshot of modern working Britain and we're very grateful to the bosses who were brave enough to don a disguise and embark on this journey amidst the chaos of a pandemic."
