ITV 2 Commissions New Eight Part 'Prank Pad' Show

ITV2 has commissioned new television series called 'Prank Pad'

The show involves a group of eight people living together in one property, with the aim to out-wit and annoy each other until they leave the house.

Whizz Kid Entertainment has been tasked with producing eight hour long episodes.

The last contestant standing will win six months of rent-free accommodation in a luxury 'pad'.

Prank Pad was ordered for ITV2 by Director of Digital Channels and Acquisitions, Angela Jain and commissioned by Commissioning Editor for Entertainment, Amanda Stavri.

Executive Producers for Whizz Kid Entertainment are Malcolm Gerrie, Lisa Chapman and Sharyn Mills, with Mark Iddon as the Series Producer.

Speaking about the new show, Ms Jain said: "With so many young people finding it hard to leave home it should be a fun ride seeing how mischievous the contestants can be in their efforts to win some rent free accommodation."
 
MD of Whizz Kid Entertainment, Lisa Chapman, added: " Prank Pad is a crazy mash-up of reality TV meets prank. There are so many great online pranksters out there right now we thought - why not see what happens when they live together? Sharyn brings her huge experience of casting and reality to the production so ­we’re really excited at the prospect of unearthing some new stars."
