In space no-one can hear you reem! ITV set to ‘send celebrities to Mars’ for a new reality series where they ‘live on a simulated barren planet’
ITV is reportedly set to send celebrities into space for a new reality TV series called Stars in Mars.
Contestants on the show will dress up as astronauts in spacesuits and live in a space station simulation of the red planet – and they will have to withstand the harsh conditions of living in a spacecraft.
The extreme environments of space will mean the stars will live in microgravity and learn how to complete everyday tasks like eating, drinking, exercising and sleeping while floating in a makeshift orbiter.
According to The Sun, an insider has detailed that Stars In Mars is currently being pre-produced by Britain’s Got Talent creators Thames TV and will reach our screens by next year.
Celebrities will face challenges and be competing against each other, similar to the bushtucker trials of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in the hopes of being crowned the ‘brightest star in the galaxy’.

The source said: ‘This show is zany and different – audiences haven’t seen anything like it before. It will be a challenge and some will struggle with the conditions.
‘The celebs will live, sleep and eat together – and those who don’t cut the mustard will get voted off.
‘Talent bosses are currently floating ideas for a presenter and celebs to take part.’
Their endurance will really be tested – The European Space Agency describes space as ‘one of the most extreme environments imaginable’.
Although it is understood that the celebrities will only be in a simulation of the spacecraft, their time is likely to only be made more difficult by being pitted against one another in trials and tests thrown in throughout the series.
To make matters more exciting, the celebs will also face public votes which will reveal some of the favourites in the special bunch.
The publication reports that a US version of the series is set to air on Fox this June, while the UK’s will be next year.
Star Trek actor William Shatner is understood to be taking part in the Fox series across the pond in just a few months time.
