At last, Harry to see his TV adventures

BBC2 is to start screening the Aussie adventures of Harry Howard from April 5.

Harry, 12, will be seen in 15 day-time episodes of Escape from Scorpion Island which are likely to be shown at about 9am.

The programmes are a junior version of I'm A Celebrity '“ Get Me Out of Here.

They will feature eight British and eight Australian youngsters as they compete in a series of high octane and adrenaline-fuelled challenges.

They have names such as Lethal Lagoon and Tipping Point.

Harry took part in the activities during a month last summer.

He said: "I'm really looking forward to seeing the programme at last.

"It's quite exciting. All my friends have been asking me when it's going to be on.

"I can't wait to see myself on TV.

"It's unusual for someone of my age to be in so many programmes unless they're involved in a soap."

Felpham Community College pupil Harry, of Stanford Close, was chosen to take part after undergoing a phone interview and a boot camp.

He was based in Queensland during his time in Australia.

He has fond memories of his visit and has kept in contact with some of those he became friends with during that memorable time.

Through them, he knows that the series is already being screened in Australia.
