Reality TV’s biggest names are becoming puppet-master producers for E4’s newest show, with Geordie Shore ’s Vicky Pattison, Love Island ’s Amber Rose Gill and TOWIE’s Pete Wicks going behind the camera for The Underdog: Josh Must Win.Teaming up with reality TV lover and presenter Nick Grimshaw, the group watch as a line-up of confident contestants compete in a popularity contest for a fake show called The Favourite.

However, our TV stars must pull a few strings to allow Josh - a nerdy-looking bartender who’s far from your standard reality star - to win the whole game. “This show gives somebody the chance to see past the boob jobs and the tattoos and we just see a lovely, nice person being themselves,” Vicky says.

As for why she signed up to the show, Vicky says that she could relate to Josh. “I think I’m a bit of an underdog - nobody really liked me when I was on the telly.

I went on I’m a Celeb and I’ve been told that everybody wanted me out,” she laughs. “I don’t know what they thought I was going to do - punch a kangaroo and slut drop with Ant and Dec?” Despite admitting that he’s been on “every show under the sun”, Pete adds that he doesn’t watch reality TV but wanted to be in control for a change. “It was nice to swap things up and put someone else through horrendous times,” he smiles. “In reality TV, you don’t get to see the real authentic people anymore because a lot of people are trying to be something they’ve seen before.
