RTÉ this morning unveiled the first of its new autumn programmes – Celebrity Wheelchair User.
Billed as a brand-new eight-part prime-time entertainment show for RTÉ One, it will combine the raw passion of wheelchair pushing with the glamorous world of celebrity.
Celebrity Wheelchair User takes eight Irish able-bodied personalities and throws them in at the deep end as they try to hail a taxi, enter pubs and restaurants and negotiate the ups and downs of footpaths within a specific time limit. Tasks must be performed as quickly as posible – and without any hiccups! Only the most skillful will make it to the final.
The pairs will perform their tasks in an Irish town of their choosing.
The line-up thus far:
Rosanna Davison will be pushed by Barry Egan
Brendan O Connor will be pushed by Aengus Fanning
Lisa Murphy will be pushed by Gerald Kean
Eddie O Sullivan will be pushed by Felipe Contepomi
Eoghan Harris will be pushed by Bertie Ahern
It is rumoured that Bono has agreed to push Ronnie Drew around Dalkey for the show’s bumper length finale.
Celebrity Wheelchair User broadcasts on RTÉ One on Sundays at 6.30pm from September 2nd. RTÉ brings you the best in broadcast entertainment.
