"Come on people, hurry up and start shagging each other!"

Old reality TV show which ran for two inexplicable series on ITV before being cancelled.

The premise was astoundingly grim even for reality TV, and revolved around placing a group of young, virile Z-list celebs together on a tropical island, in the hope that two (or more) of them would have sex with each other, for the cameras. Honestly, this was broadcast.

The need to keep the sexual tension high, only traditionally attractive celebrities were picked for the show, which meant all the women were air-headed bimbos with improbably-sized chests and all the men were gurning, oiled, fake tan-covered walking six packs. The entire show was a bit like a redeemlessly upmarket version of Friday night inside a city centre club on 2-for-1 shooters night, but with slightly less clothes. Typical contestants were Whatsiscock out of that boyband and Gigglytits who did that rubbish sex tape.

Predictably, none of the celebs decided it would be a good career move to actually bump uglies for the cameras (even the ones famous merely for starring in sex tapes, in some sort of post-modern irony), and the whole show was reduced to basically filming ten attractive, rich people casually drinking and flirting on an island holiday paradise for free. It may have been some, more, or all of these reasons which led to nobody watching it and it being mercifully cancelled.
