Living TV has ordered a second UK series of Queer Eye For The Straight Guy, Broadcast says this week.

The makeover show sees five gay guys - the 'Fab Five' - transform the lifestyle and appearances of straight men.

Living - which snapped up the UK rights to the show from US broadcaster NBC in a six-figure deal last year - has commissioned a further ten 60-minute episodes for broadcast in October. Production will begin this month.

The first series of the UK version has also aired in America on the cable channel Bravo, a fact which has driven LivingTV to boost the programme's budget on its second outing. "We have a global brand here and to invest in a second series so quickly underlines my satisfaction with the show," Living's director of programmes Richard Woolfe told the magazine. "I am sure it will get bigger."
