Sky 1 is upping its female-skewing entertainment output with a documentary fronted by Girls Aloud singer Kimberley Walsh, and a reality-makeover hybrid based on the growing British trend for US-style proms.
Promzillas (working title) is a 6 x 60-minute series produced by Betty. Due to air later this year, it follows the demands of a string of prom divas who are desperate to become the belle of the bad-taste balls.
The series, which is exec produced by Sarah Freethy, will also offer less confident teens a prom makeover by a dedicated team of stylists.
The same broadcaster has also commissioned a 1 x 60-minute documentary from Ten Alps, which is hosted by Walsh and traces the history of jeans.
The show, provisionally titled Jean Evolution, sees Walsh travel across the US and Europe to uncover the beginnings of denim and its adoption by cowboys, before meeting designers and manufacturers who will offer tips and industry insight.
The doc is due to start filming in April and will air later in the year. It is being exec produced by Sarah Murch from Ten Alps and Lesley Douglas from Globe Productions.
Both series were ordered by Celia Taylor, head of features and factual for Sky 1, 2 & 3.
