Channel 4 have recruited a Muslim woman to take part in the next series of Wife Swap.
The mother-of-three, who wears the traditional hijab and prays five times a day, will appear in an episode which producers hope will educate viewers about the Islamic faith.
A show source told The Sun: "Yes, it sounds like a gimmick, but there is a serious point to this. Like every Wife Swap, it’s about forcing people to confront their views in bringing up kids and running a home."
Magician Paul Daniels and his wife Debbie McGee will also take part in a special celebrity edition of the show, swapping with TV host Vanessa Feltz and her fiancé Ben Offoedu.
