Celebrity Super Spa is a British reality television show. It is broadcast on Channel 5, making its debut on 13 September 2013. The show is produced by ITV Studios and GroupM Entertainment and centres on six celebrities working in a real-life Spa in Liverpool, where they are taught to pluck, preen and pamper by Herbert Howe, a man with fifty years experience in the hair and beauty industry.
The Voice of Ireland host Eoghan McDermott and Laura Jackson hosted the series; as confirmed on 15 July 2013.
Six celebrities work in a real-life Spa in Liverpool, where they are taught to pluck, preen and pamper by Herbert Howe, a man with fifty years experience in the hair and beauty industry. During their time working at the Spa, they are partnered with a real hair & beauty apprentice. Howe and his team of experts will judge the performances of each pair across the series, and in every episode he will decide on who performed the best, thus being his 'Salon Stars', and on who performed the worst in the day's masterclass. Each masterclass is based upon a different treatment, such as massaging, and usually involves real clientele. In the final episode, Howe and his team of experts take into account each pair's performance throughout the series, with the winning apprentice (as a part of the winning pair) receiving £10,000 and an apprenticeship.
On 15 July 2013, the six celebrities to be featuring in the first series of the show were announced.
The first series began on Channel 5 on 13 September 2013 at 10pm; with subsequent episodes airing in the weeknight slot at 9pm from 16–19 September 2013. There were six sixty-minute episodes in the first series, however only five were broadcast on television due to poor ratings.
The six celebrities met each other and were introduced to Herbert Howe, a man with over fifty years experience in the hair and beauty industry. Howe decided that each celebrity had to perform a consultation with a real-life client before they could begin working at the salon. Following these consultations, it was then revealed that these clients were apprentices themselves, all in training to work in the industry, and that they would be partnered with the celebrity who had consulted them. This meant that: Arg and Dil, Helen and Sanchez, Jody and James, John and Shani, Rustie and Jeni, and Yvette and Megan became partners. Furthermore, Howe explained that the winning apprentice (as a part of the winning pair) would leave the show with £10,000 and an apprenticeship. This put extra pressure on the celebrities.
