Busted to star in reality TV show

British pop trio Busted have inked a deal to star in their own Osbournes-style reality TV show, which is set to air on MTV networks across the world.

The band - Charlie Simpson, James Bourne and Matt Jay - will be filmed in a fly-on-the-wall series for which they will be paid an estimated €1.5m.

And the boys hope the show will bring them to the attention of the American public.

A source said: "The show could make them global stars. This could widen the net to America. They are young, fun and up for it - all the ingredients which will make the show good viewing."
