BBC Three in the UK has ordered a new reality show following the lives and careers of Ultimate Fighting Championship’s Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann.

Paddy & Molly: Show No Mersey will follow the couple as they prepare for fights whilst juggling their relationships with friends and family.

The 8 x 30-minute show is being produced by UK prodco Hello Mary and will air on BBC Three and stream via iPlayer.

It was commissioned by Nasfim Haque, head of content for BBC Three and Catherine Catton, head of popular factual and factual entertainment. The BBC commissioning editor is Ricky Cooper.

Haque said: “BBC Three has established a track record in lifting the lid on some extraordinary, unexpected yet highly relevant talent to young audiences in the UK, so when we got the opportunity to work with these two brilliant, technicolour sportspeople we simply couldn’t refuse.”
