Channel 4 Takes Celebrity Prank Format ‘Tapped Out’ From YouTube To Linear

Exclusive: Channel 4 is piloting a celebrity prank show on linear that emerged via its YouTube channel.
Tapped Out Prank Stars is a supercharged version of the format that originated on Channel 4.0, with rapper ArrDee, comedian Fatiha El-Ghorri and Jls singer Aston Merrygold set to take on extreme challenges watched by a studio audience.
The move marks the first time a Channel 4 YouTube format has transferred to linear and the pilot will likely air around Christmas.
In Tapped Out, which is hosted by Nella Rose and has featured the likes of Love Island star Chloe Burrows, celebs are pushed to their limits with tricky prank challenges that feature chaotic twists. The longer they can last before deciding to “Tap Out,” the better they do, as the celeb competitor who endures the most time in the increasingly embarrassing tasks thrown at them will be crowned champion. The loser will face one final forfeit.
