Submitted by Michelle Miller on Tuesday, 6 March 2007One Comment
NBA superstar Shaquille O’Neal is to further his fight against childhood obesity with a six-episode reality TV show to be screened by Disney-owned ABC this summer.
The as-yet untitled series will focus on the Miami Heat center embarking on a campaign to help Florida school kids lose weight. Over the course of the show’s run, O’Neal will interact with the kids as he encourages them to stay on their regimen.
The series will follow the lives of the children as well as of O’Neal himself as he lobbies politicians on school nutrition and other issues.
The show is an adaptation of the British series, Ian Wright’s Unfit Kids, which featured a former Arsenal football star who also worked with overweight kids.
