Reality will bite when TV winner gets pay cut

RTÉ’s run of bad luck with reality TV shows has reared its head again, with the revelation that the winner of the Five Women Go Back To Work show will face a pay cut.

The high-profile programme follows five women competing in the hope of landing a job on a new magazine at Ashville Media Group in Dublin.

However, it emerged a number of weeks ago that staff at the group have been asked to take a 10% pay cut as an alternative to redundancies.
