Running in Ireland as “Celebrity Bainisteoir” this series sees eight fish-out-of-water celebrities take the reigns of local amateur gaelic football teams for an all Ireland tournament. A massive hit in Ireland where it played in the prime Sunday night entertainment slot of 6.30 on RTE 1 and won an average audience share of 36%, it was re-commissioned mid-season and has become the “acceptable face” of celebrity reality TV here in Ireland.
Currently optioned to Studio Lambert for the UK and the States and to Screentime for Australia and New Zealand, Celebrity Coach bucks the trend in celebrity programming by becoming a vehicle for some proper old fashioned feel-good community pride and passion based TV.
Celebrity Bainisteoir is co-produced with Animo TV.
