THE UNDERDOG: REALITY SHOW WON'T RETURN FOR SECOND SERIES ON E4

The Sun newspaper have revealed that reality show The Underdog won't be returning for a second series on E4, having aired its first series last Spring.

A spokesperson for E4 told The Sun: "We were very proud of the show, but this year we have a series of new reality shows coming to E4."

This mammoth new show sees a gorgeous, confident, larger-than-life cast compete in a popularity contest, which they believe is called “The Favourite” hosted by presenter Nick Grimshaw. However, amongst the players there is an underdog no one is expecting. His name is Josh. But who is Josh and why is he so important? 

Whilst all the players (including Josh) believe they are battling it out to be the most popular, and win a cash prize on The Favourite, what none of them know is that living next door is a group of celebrities, masterminding their own game of strategy, and doing everything they can to ensure that Josh. Must. Win – without blowing their cover…

Tasked with controlling this unique reality show were: Nick Grimshaw, Amber Rose Gill, Vicky Pattison and Pete Wicks. Faced with their greatest challenge to date, they will do everything they can to influence the game – by setting tasks, introducing jaw-dropping format twists, mastering the art of manipulation and using all they’ve learnt about reality shows and popularity to ensure Josh’s triumph.

The Underdog: Josh Must Win is available to stream now on Channel 4.
