We told you earlier this year that Paris Hilton was searching for a new best friend via a reality TV show, and if you fancied a trip to America you could even have applied.

However now there is no need to make that transatlantic journey, as ITV2 are bringing Paris’ new reality TV show to the UK.

Paris Hilton’s New Best Friend will follow the captivating Miss Hilton as she flies to the UK for an intensive search for a new friend she can depend on. Providing viewers with a candid insight into her manic world, they will also be privy to the true girl behind the media image through unprecedented exclusive access.

“Everyone knows I love LA,” says Hilton, “but London, watch out – I’m coming to town and bringing my fast-paced life with me. I’m in the UK all the time, but of course I can’t bring all my friends, so I’ve decided to look for a new BFF across the pond. I need a best friend who is hot, who can keep up with me, and most of all, who is real and won’t be a backstabber. I’m not leaving London until I find that amazing girl or guy who can meet the challenges of being my British bestie!”

From suburbia to remote villages, a group of hopefuls who all think they have what it takes will be chosen to live in and deal with Paris Hilton’s world. Paris will be putting the group through their paces to test their ambition and determination to be crowned as her new best friend!

Anyone aged 18-28 who genuinely want to be Paris Hilton’s New Best Friend can email paris@itv.com and they will be sent more information and an application form.
