E4 announces Lee Kern's Celebrity Bedlam

6 June 2012

Following on from last year's hit cheeky prank show The Royal Wedding Crashers, on Channel 4, comedian Lee Kern is coming to E4 with a brand new 6 x 30 series, Lee Kern's Celebrity Bedlam which sees a plethora of celebrities confronted with one outlandish set-up after another in a surreal and ambitious take on the prank show.

In this brand new comedy series ‘Lee Kern's Celebrity Bedlam', Lee creates a world of absurd situations as he shows just what sort of mess unsuspecting Celebrities can get themselves into when asked to deal with and talk about the big issues of the day.

Lee will try and convince celebrities that badger culling in Rickmansworth is now being carried out by Native Americans, act as the world's only blind racing driver and convince one that it was actually a monkey who played the drums in Dire Straits. In one of the most outrageous and eccentric TV stunts, Lee, posing as a scientist in a fake laboratory, manages to convince certain celebrities that they are meeting human clones of themselves.

Over the series, Lee will explore the environment, science, travel, health, fame and the end of the world and try and help celebrities answer questions such as;

Is there such a thing as a bat with human testicles?

Why has the iceberg hit by the Titanic been discovered near Sri Lanka?

And did Captain Scott really trek to the South Pole with a Robot?

And will they really believe that scientists can now understand Dolphin language?

Lee Kern's Celebrity Bedlam will TX on E4 this Summer.

Lee Kern's Celebrity Bedlam was commissioned by Channel 4 Commissioning Editor Madeleine Knight and is being made by Objective Productions. Executive Producers for Objective Productions are Andrew Newman and Nathan Eastwood.

Nathan Eastwood said "Lee Kern is a great new talent with brave, mad and hilarious ideas. From convincing celebrities that scientists can understand dolphin language to introducing celebrities to their living clones, Lee's pulled off a brilliant, funny and clever celebrity bashing roller coaster ride."
