MTV head to The Valleys

In a stunt to celebrate the launch of MTV’s new series The Valleys starting tomorrow night, the cast made their way from their homes in the picturesque rolling countryside of South Wales to the heart of London’s posh Bedford Square, experiencing first-hand what the capital has to offer.

Despite the thrashing rain, the cast decided to dress for the ‘occasion’ with the girls choosing ultra-glam body-con dresses and the boys, extra tight t-shirts. With a battered tractor and ‘blinged-up’ sheep on diamante leads in tow, onlookers were left completely bemused.

Cast member Jenna said: “I’m feeling slightly like a fish-out-of-water here in London. It’s not quite The Valleys is it?”

The nine youngsters are currently dreaming of a life of stardom, limousines, flashing paparazzi bulbs and adoring fans. Unfortunately it’s going to take a small miracle to become the next Tom Jones, Catherine Zeta-Jones or erm, Steve Jones.

From Rhymney to Tonyrefail and Tredegar, stuck in humdrum and unexciting jobs, these kids have big career ambitions beyond Wales. Brand new show The Valleys will pluck them from obscurity and thrust them into the limelight where they will live in a house kitted out with a cutch-hut and cameras, to see if they succeed amidst the hustle and bustle of Cardiff city.

With bosses Jordan and AK acting as mentors to guide them and keep them on the straight and narrow, the group will be shown the ropes in order to help them realise their dreams. For some of them, this will be their first move away from home and their close knit friends and family.

“But with a new plush pad, new housemates and a dazzling city as their playground, will the boys and girls’ penchant for a party and pulling distract them from their goals?” MTV asks.

The Valleys Tuesday 25thSeptember at 10pm on MTV.
