I love The Surreal Life, but this is way, way better:

Comedienne Ruby Wax, actor Richard E Grant, athlete Colin Jackson and former Emmerdale star Amy Nuttall have agreed to appear in ITV1's Celebrity Shark Bait.

The four celebrities will undertake a two-day scuba diving course in an area off the coast of South Africa called Shark Alley. After completing the course, the stars will be placed into a metal cage and lowered into the water.

The Shark Trust has high hopes for the show:

The Trust hopes that ‘Celebrity Shark Bait’ will be taking a more constructive, innovative approach to the presentation of sharks, an approach that will allow ‘Celebrity Shark Bait’ to stand out from the endless ‘Shark attack’, ‘Danger in the water’ genre of shark based programming.

Yeah, celebritity reality shows usually take the high road.
