Celebrities have taken on a myriad of challenges in the name of light entertainment – cooking, dancing and even ski-jumping – but a new ITV show aims to add something different to the mix.
In a hilarious move, the broadcaster has remodelled One Man and His Dog to produce Flockstars, a series that sees stars take on sheepdog trials.
Presented by Gabby Logan, the show will feature eight celebrities who have each been paired with a professionally trained sheepdog partner.
Contestants – including veteran DJ Tony Blackburn, Strictly star Brendan Cole, Fazer from N-Dubz and broadcaster Amanda Lamb – will compete against one another in various knockout stages, designed to test their herding skills.
The star deemed to be the most proficient in terms of speed and penalty avoidance across the eight-week series will eventually be awarded the Flockstars Champion Shield.
Of course, completing the tasks using voice control alone is not easy, as the first face-off pair, Cole and Lamb, soon found out when they began training.
The debut episode of Flockstars airs on Thursday, July 30 at 8.30pm on ITV.
