Five will air two series of factual medical show My Shocking Story after agreeing a deal with Discovery Networks UK.

A first six-part series, which has already gone out on Discovery, will be repeated on Five and the two broadcasters will co-produce a second run.

Five and Discovery will both air the new series later this year.

My Shocking Story looks at individuals with rare and life-changing conditions.

Under the agreement, Five has also bought rights to ten-part series Crimes that Shook the World, four-parter Storm Chasers and Weird Connections, about significant experiments.
