Celebrity Farm
Celebrity Farm was a 2003 Radio Telefís Éireann (RTÉ) reality television show, based on the international TV format The Farm, produced by Strix. Held along similar lines as I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!, Celebrity Farm required eight of Ireland's B-List celebrities to spend seven days on a farm with one being voted off every evening (or culled as RTE called it, in a reference to the foot and mouth disease mass cullings of 2002). The prize was €50,000 to the charity of their choice.
The show was won by George MacMahon , a soap opera actor from Fair City. He split his prize money between a children's charity, a children's hospital and a centre for those with disabilities.
In 2004, Channel 5 showed their version of the show, The Farm, amid massive controversy.
