All the celebrities signed up to become special constables and joined police in real life arrests, chasing criminals and fighting crime.
The first episode features Penny Lancaster “confronting demons from her past”. In one scene she risks life and limb by striking out on her own in pursuit of a robber.
A programme spokesman says it will “serve as a rude awakening to everyone else of the dangers they’re about to face. “But nothing quite prepares them for their first shift.”
