New hidden camera show for Olivia Lee

Balls of Steel star Olivia Lee is to host another hidden camera series – the first show to be specifically made for Comedy Central UK.

The channel, formerly Paramount Comedy, has ordered eight half-hour episodes of Olivia Lee: Dirty, Sexy, Funny to air this autumn.

Said to be inspired by the glamorous but shallow lives of the characters in shows such as Gossip Girl, the new programme will combine hidden-camera stunts with scripted sketches Characters include Ms Technophobe, the Door Bitch, Lady Gatecrasher, who embarrassingly invades major public events, and City Girl, whose narrated blog forms the backbone of each episode.
