Yahoo News Scarlett Moffatt relocates family to Namibia for new Channel 4 reality show
Former Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt will relocate to Namibia with her family in a new Channel 4 show.
The reality TV star's entire house will be recreated in a remote village in Namibia for four-part series The British Tribe Next Door.
The Moffatts will live alongside the nomadic Himba tribe for four weeks - but will still have comforts including hair straighteners, television and iPhones.
The show sees the family find common ground with the Himba and is designed so both cultures can coexist alongside one another and learn from each others' lifestyles.
The I'm A Celebrity winner has described her time in Namibia as "one of the most eye-opening experiences of [her] life."
She added: "I feel privileged and humbled that the Himba tribe invited us to join them and we have all learnt an enormous amount.
The Himba agreed to host the Moffatts so they could learn more about Western lifestyles.
Chief Tijone of the Himba tribe said: "I was born in our village and I've never travelled far so I don't know the Western life.
"Of course, there are benefits and there are disadvantages.
"When the visitors come, they can explain everything to us, and we will learn from each other's cultures."
Alf Lawrie, C4's head of factual entertainment, said: "For the first time in human history, British suburbia and Himba tribal life will coexist side-by-side.
"This series contrasts two worlds on a spectacular scale - but at its heart, is about the extraordinary relationships it creates."
There’s no confirmed date for the series yet but Channel 4 have said it will air later this year.
