A group of celebrities have endured what it is like to be locked up behind bars as part of a new documentary series recorded at Shrewsbury Prison.
The celebrities - including EastEnders actor Sid Owen, comedian and actor Tom Rosenthal, Gogglebox star Marcus Luther, singer HRVY, former MP Neil Parish and Mail on Sunday columnist Peter Hitchens - took part in the documentary that has a working title of 'Banged-Up'.
They were also attended to by real former prison guards and joined in their cells by real ex-cons, some of whom had previously served sentences for serious crimes. He said the programme was"no stage set" as the celebrities endured the harsh realities of real prison life. Alisa Pomeroy, head of documentaries at Channel 4, said of the show:"This is the sort of television that Shine makes so brilliantly for C4, in the vein of precursors The Island and Hunted. Once again, they've constructed an immersive documentary precinct where real stories play out.
