BBC Three goes for more 'extreme' health docs

BBC Three is to show another programme which pushes the boundary's of what the human body can withstand.

Journalist Nicky Taylor, who went on a 30-day drinking binge to demonstrate the effects of alcohol abuse in Booze Bird, will present a new series exploring how far people are prepared to go in pursuit of eternal youth.

Earlier this month the channel screened its exploration into the 'size zero' debate, Super Slim Me, which saw journalist Dawn Porter travel to LA and emulate Hollywood actresses, by attempting to slim from a size 12 to a US size 0 (UK size 4).

How Young Can I Get?, produced by Renegade Pictures, will see Taylor undergo a six-week anti-ageing regime as part of the channel's Body Image season. Treatments will include a tummy tuck in Malaysia and extreme anti-ageing technique cyrotherapy, which involves standing in a chamber at minus 110 degrees.

Every two weeks her progress will be assessed by drag queens and beauty experts Sahhara and Imanni. The show is currently in production and will air later this year.
