Love Island SPOILER: Ekin-Su dons bridal outfit and Paige does her best Baywatch impression in the raunchiest heart pumping challenge yet Channel 5 senior programme controller Chris Shaw said: 'We've taken a deceptively simple idea which we believe will make a really eye-catching and compelling TV event.' TV production company Vashca is searching for 26 contestants to take part in the show. Touch A Truck is due to be screened this spring, from Monday to Friday in a prime-time slot. Just two rules will apply to the contest: participants must remain awake and must touch the vehicle at all times, except during appointed breaks.Ĭontestants will strive to distract each other to take their hand off the prize but they will be able to call upon the help of friends or family in their efforts to remain awake. The British version will be filmed at the Lakeside shopping centre in Thurrock, Essex. The American winner, Warren Hearne, managed to stay awake and keep hold of the truck for 125hr and 37min.

The idea for the show has been imported from the US, where it was called Hands On A Hardboy. The spectacle will also be broadcast live on the Channel 5 website. In the show Touch A Truck, which will be shown daily on Channel 5, the last person left clutching the £50,000 four-wheel drive vehicle will drive off with it. A bizarre game show, in which contestants have to touch a truck for five days non-stop without falling asleep, is to hit TV screens.
