A TEENAGER with a string of annoying habits is to star in the nation's latest reality TV show.

Chris Nevin, of Leeming Bar, North Yorkshire, will join ten other contestants on Cruel Winter, a new programme broadcast on youth channel Trouble.

The 18-year-old welder was nominated by his friend AJ, who revealed Chris's irritating habits of bad time-keeping and slumping on the sofa in his work clothes.

The show aims to rid contestants of their bad habits by housing them at a secret location and helping them to change their ways.

Chris will spend four weeks at the house in January and face challenges suggested by Trouble viewers.

He will not be allowed to have any contact with the outside world, except for one weekly phone call.

Chris has the chance to win £10,000 prize money.

Cruel Winter starts on Trouble on January 1, at 5pm on weekdays
