    Virgin1 has confirmed the list of celebrities taking part in factual entertainment series The Prisoner: X.

    The programme, in which stars live in the world's harshest prisons, will feature Jack Osbourne, Toby Young, Debra Stephenson and Linford Christie.

    Also confirmed are Will Mellor, Joe Pasquale, Donal MacIntyre and Marc Bannerman.

    All the celebrities will live as inmates and undergo "a series of intimate, personal journeys".

    Linford Christie will visit Belize's Central prison, where guards keep control with a sniper system, while Donal MacIntyre will be sent to Louisiana State Penitentiary, where cells are reserved for those facing the death penalty. Each presenter will apparently spend time with murderers, rapists and armed robbers.

    Virgin1's director of programming Daniela Neumann said: "For the first time ever we will genuinely see these celebrities eat, poo, sleep and shower in the most disgusting prisons in the world.

    "These are personal and intimate journeys for people who are used to soft cotton sheets, fine wine, gourmet food and toilet paper."

    The Prisoner: X airs in the autumn.

    I hope some of the so called celebs are keep there

    Who's going to be the first in with the Gary Glitter / Vietnam prison quip...?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    So they're putting a load of z-list celebrities in prisons with murders and various psychopaths, and they think it's a good idea?

    I weep for humanity.

    Bugger, here was me thinking that this was the offical title for the long mooted Prisoner remake.
