ITV 2 have announced new series Blue Go Mad in Ibiza.
The show will see the boyband Blue attempt to turn a chilled out San Antonio bar into a lively holiday hotspot.
Duncan James, Simon Webbe, Lee Ryan and Antony Costa will be seen facing challenges such as flamboyant PRs, demanding customers and irritating members of staff, who - unknown to the group at the time - were all actors.
The band said: "We thoroughly enjoyed running the bar and definitely see a potential future in this for Blue, but we still can't believe we were fooled into believing our closest confidantes in the bar were genuine!
"We've got into some unusual predicaments during our time in the band, but what the team tricked us into on the show was unbelievable. We're still shocked we didn't guess!"
The four-part series is produced by Potato, with Phil Mount and Michael Kelpie serving as executive producers.
