ITV has commissioned a brand new prank hybrid series, Glitchy, to come to ITV2 screens this autumn, starring Ryan Sampson from ITV2’s Plebs.
The series will parody much loved and recognisable television shows throwing them into a surreal and parallel television world. All the television shows are fake but the unsuspecting members of the public believe them to be real.
Sampson will play a multitude of characters offering his twisted take on the shows we know and love including Britain and Ireland’s Next Top Hand Model, 24 Hours in A Phone Box, Date My Daughter, Embarrassing Personalities and street magician and petty criminal, Memzo (pictured). The members of the public who participate in each sketch will unknowingly be the stars of their very own show.
The cast also includes Ellie White, Gabby Best, Colin Hoult, Liam Hourican, Jason Attar and Mona Yousefi who will all appear as different characters throughout the series.
Ryan Sampson comments: “I’m beyond excited that ITV have let us loose, giving our own twisted take on all of our favourite TV Shows. It’s going to be brilliant. And weird. And weirdly brilliant.”
