A string of celebrities are to speak candidly about being fired from high profile jobs in a new TV series.

In You Can’t Fire Me, I’m Famous, former Mirror editor Piers Morgan - himself sacked after a photo scandal in 2004 - will interview famous faces about the real reasons for their departures.

Among those lined up are actress Martine McCutcheon, killed off in EastEnders in 1998; Ozzy Osbourne, who was ditched by his Black Sabbath bandmates; and Vinnie Jones, sacked for sinking his teeth into a journalist's nose.

The series begins Monday, June 5 on BBC One.
