There are two new reality TV shows headed our way which are both based in Liverpool.
‘Desperate Scousewives’ and ‘Mersey Shore’ are both slated to air later this year, with Scousewives coming to E4 and Shore washing up on MTV.
Desperate Scousewives is based on fictional Us series ‘Desperate Housewives’ while ‘Mersey Shore’ – a spin-off of American show ‘Jersey Shore’ and Newcastle-based series ‘Geordie Shore – will depict the rants, raves and sexy romps of a group of gobby 20-somethings who live together in a big house in the city.
However, the Daily Star reports that the two broadcasters have already clashed over casting and locations.
An insider told the paper, “Liverpool is a great city but there are only a handful of really top locations that production companies would want to use…
“Naturally, each company wants to exclusive so there’s a war being waged on the streets. And it’s not just locations.
