Which she co-wrote with Goose's Adam Drake

Katy Wix and Adam Drake are working on a comedy series set in a children’s diet retreat.

Steve Coogan’s production company Baby Cow has snapped up the rights to Fat Camp after a bidding war, Variety reports.

Ghosts and Stath Lets Flats actor Wix will also star in the show, although it is not known if co-writer Drake – known for the live acts Goose and Tarot – will be on screen

Wix told the trade magazine: ‘Growing up as a fat teenager, I would have loved to have seen a body like mine on TV, being allowed to be funny and powerful and not the butt of a joke.’

Baby Cow’s chief executive Sarah Monteith added that the show was ‘horrific in both a dark way and a hilarious way’ and said it would be an ‘important, entertaining and thrilling piece’ at a time when children are under great pressures over their appearance thanks to social media.
