Shaw quits 'Reborn in the USA'

Mark Shaw has quit ITV1's Reborn in the USA just one day into filming, it emerged on Wednesday.

Shaw apparently clashed with both production staff and other performers, with Granada issuing a statement saying that he left the show after "after a series of events involving other artists and members of the production team." During the 1980s, Shaw was the lead singer of Then Jerico.

The remaining artists in the show, hoping for a second shot at being a star, will play a concert this week before touring the US. Audiences in local American markets will choose their favourites; these will then be subjected to a phone vote on both sides of the Atlantic to determine who stays and who goes home.

The first show will air on ITV1 this Saturday.
