Everything you need to know about new E4 reality show It’s a Scouse Life

It’s been hailed as Liverpool’s answer to TOWIE and Made in Chelsea.

New reality pilot It’s a Scouse Life is set to premiere this month – so here’s what we know so far …

What is It’s a Scouse Life about?

It’s a Scouse Life is a new 60-minute pilot show which follows the lives of nine ‘glamorous young people’ who called Liverpool home.

Filmed throughout the summer, it promises an up-close and personal look at the ups and downs of a close-knit group of Merseysiders as they juggle relationships, friendships, business, and family life in our lovely and lively city.

Who are the nine?

They’ve been named by E4 as Georgia, Jonny, Jess, Rain, Liam, Leon, Melina, Ant, and Jenny. A little bit of digging – and a matching of names and photos on Instagram – has revealed a little bit more, like the fact that Jonny is city saxophonist Jonny Crane and Melina Halpin is an actor and singer, and fashion entrepreneur. Georgia is a dancer and model; Leon Arnasalam is a footballer who plays for Clitheroe FC, and Jess did a walk from Maghull to Zoe’s Place to raise money to help try and save the hospice!

Rain – Raniella Rain Castillo – is a singer/songwriter, like Jenny (Jennifer) Christine.

Which channel is it on?

The show is going to be shown on E4.

When is it on?

It’s a Scouse Life will premiere on Tuesday, November 12, straight after Married at First Sight UK, at 10.25pm.

Why this city?

The show was a commission for E4 from Optomen Television. Genna Gibson, commissioning editor for reality and entertainment for Channel 4, says: “Channel 4 has a celebrated history of showing Liverpool on screen, which makes it all the more exciting to bring this latest reality project to viewers on E4 to show modern Liverpool in all its glory.”

Thanks for the magic Liverpool!

Optomen CEO Nick Hornby adds: “We want to thank the city of Liverpool and our cast, who gave us the magic needed on-screen and off-screen to produce this charming reality project. We’re sure E4 viewers will enjoy the authentic access to the some of the young lives and loves in and around L1.”

Showrunner Simon Atkins says: “Getting to spend time in this vibrant city gave a real insight into the close-knit lives of this cast, their families and the community which we hope shines through in this pilot.”

So what can we expect to see?

An overview of the show says that, determined to be the queen of the city, entrepreneur Melina is setting up a new fashion brand with her best friend Thomas and on a house-hunting adventure with her new boyfriend, MMA fighter Darren Till.

Meanwhile, Georgia – the longest reigning ‘Miss Liverpool’ the city has ever had – is forging a new career in the events industry. She’s willing to do whatever it takes to secure a coveted role at a club in the city, but her competitive spirit only intensifies her rivalry with Melina, and tensions rise as both women compete for the spotlight (leading to a blazing row in a nightclub bathroom, tipping their rivalry into open warfare and leaving the rest of the group on edge).

Sax player Jonny is a ‘man about town’ who plays in some of the biggest nightclubs in Liverpool. On/off girlfriend Jenny is hoping that he’ll soon pop the question, but the gossips’ tongues are wagging that he likes the attention from adoring fans too much…
