A new reality series will see contestants trying to get as many illnesses as possible.
Sick Day will put three lads in one house for two months, where their aim will be to catch ailments such as ailments like nits, lice, flu, venereal diseases and warts.
Princess Productions are making a pilot of the show for E4, reports The Sun today.
Ray Downing, a 23-year-old teacher from North London, auditioned for the show. "I was shocked when they told me what it was about," he told the newspaper. "It’s up to contestants to find ways to catch the disease, but they talked about snorkelling in sewage."
An E4 spokeswoman said that none of the illnesses would be life-threatening and that a doctor would be on hand to prevent them from getting too ill.
