Episode 1
It's the first episode, and upon arriving at the farm, reality star Gemma says, "My lifestyle is out of control. The amount of money I spend on takeaways, I could probably buy a house by now."
Much loved comedian and King of the Jungle Joe adds, "The reason for doing this is there are so many people out there who are Type 2 diabetics and they don't know they are and I don't want to end up as that person."
Keeping a tight rein on the farmhands, as well as providing the healthy recipes to fuel the group, is the show's new nutritionist Hala El-Shafie who warns, "Sugar Free Farm is not about dieting, it's a complete lifestyle change. It's tough and it's about to get a whole lot tougher."
As the celebrities adjust to their new lives down on the farm, where they are tasked with fattening up the pigs, removing the fencing from an old animal enclosure, spreading muck, harvesting courgettes and lettuce planting, amongst other duties, tempers start to fray and the lack of sugar starts taking its toll on their bodies.
A fed up Ann declares, "My honest view is this is far more trouble than it's worth…this is work for the leisured quite honestly, or for the enthusiastic. It isn't work for the single girl wanting to get on with her life."
Over in the farmhouse kitchen, Alison prepares a sugar free farm dinner with a difference: spaghetti bolognese using that morning's freshly picked courgettes.
The famous farmhands will need all the energy they can get as, after their nutritious meal, they are helping at the farm's annual sheep shearing. First to volunteer is Ann, who has a go at herding the flock into the sheep pen: "If anybody ever asks was it worth doing a fortnight without sugar? For that experience of herding the sheep…yes!"
Whilst Stavros Flatley Junior, Lagi, puts his qualified barber skills to good use and gets stuck into shearing the sheep, back on the farm, Dr Who actor Peter's health takes a turn for the worse with paramedics being called. When word reaches the group, they are shaken by the news.
The first three days have been tough, working hard whilst adjusting to a brand new diet, so how will they fare over the next 12 days?
Though a positive Alison reveals, "I'm really getting into this. Forget chocolate man, bring on the basil!"
