Alright, England. You have about three hours before the debut of CelebAir, the new show that will put a bunch of reality has-beens in Monarch Air planes headed for Ibiza, Tenerife and other sunny spots.
As much as we want to love this train wreck, an early review from a CelebAir passenger isn't too promising:
Before long, the captain took to the loudspeaker to introduce our "celebrity" crew. And nothing happened. No gasps, or mad fans fainting. The looks of utter incomprehension on the passengers' faces can't have done much for Kenzie and Lisa's egos.
No matter, by this time, Lisa was performing the safety demonstration--"I always get this bit wrong," she giggled, worryingly, while explaining how to do up the lifejacket--and we were off.... They were just like real cabin crew, only much, much less competent.
CelebAir, the airline-turned-reality show set to take off September 2 has just announced its celebrity staff. Sorry, Americans: You'll have no idea who these people are!
Among the famous faces that'll be checking in passengers and serving drinks are model and WAG Michelle Marsh, comedian Phil Cornwell, "X Factor" alum Chico and former pop princess and reality TV star Lisa Scott-Lee
Lisa's husband Johnny Shentall will also be working for CelebAir, which should lend a bit of that all important manufactured reality TV drama to the series. Seats are still available!
Our last few trips have been sorely lacking in British reality TV quotient, so we're seriously considering booking a flight on CelebAir, the star-stocked charter carrier making flights between the UK and Southern Europe this fall for a new show on ITV2.
Monarch Airlines is handling booking for the CelebAir flights, which are jetting to Cyprus, Portugal and Spain out of Gatwick. A seat between LGW and Malaga in September is a competitive £86 ($168) and getting from London to Tenerife will only run you £117 ($231).
There's no guarantee of which C-lister you might bump into at 34,000 feet, but you'll definitely get to ask at least one flying celeb to bring you an extra pillow. Plus, if you act ridiculous enough, you'll be on a reality TV show in Britain, and who wouldn't want that as a vacation souvenir?
A British TV network is planning a reality show featuring 12 celebs working as flight attendants and gate agents on a carrier they're calling CelebAir.
The eight-part series, set to debut this fall, will follow the stars as they work actual flights carrying paying customers. They'll have to pass requirements set down by the UK's Civil Aviation Authority to work the cabin, though none of the celebs are slated to pilot the single CelebAir plane.
While no names have been confirmed just yet, Gridskipper is hoping that Paris and Nicole will be on board. We can only assume that's because of this.
