'Facilitating murder is the job I was born to do'

Bobby Mair is to present a murder-mystery reality TV show in the run-up to Halloween.

Killer Camp will be stripped across five nights on ITV2, with 11 unsuspecting contributors dropped into a 1980s-inspired summer camp.

But there is a murderer among them and over the hour-long episodes, contestants must try to earn cash and figure out who the killer is, while avoiding being despatched in a comically extreme way.

Mair said: ‘Being a presenter, camp counsellor and facilitator of murder is the job I was born to do! I really hope ITV2 viewers have as much fun watching this show as much as I had getting to make it.’

Series editor James Donkin added: ‘Killer Camp has betrayal, romance and horror throwback nostalgia at its core, all wrapped up with a glorious 1980s bow. 

‘We hope the boxset-bingeing twists, alongside the overarching whodunit narrative will hook viewers in and keep them locked, until the big reveal on Halloween night.’

Here’s a trailer:
