What does it feel like to completely quit sugar?

Six celebrities, including Chaser's star Mark Labbett, musical theatre star Jane McDonald and British comedian Rory McGrath are about to find out.

Living in a farm worker's cottage deep in the Hampshire countryside, over the next two weeks the celebrities split their time between working on the farm and preparing sugar-free meals.

On hand to keep the celebrities on the sugar-free wagon is nutritionist Angelique Panagos, who warns, "There's not going to be one grain of sugar for the two weeks on the farm. They'll be learning about what foods to eat so when they leave the farm they'll have new tools."

In a bid to cheer themselves up after their hard labour, the celebrities head to the local pub, but will the lure of sugar-laden alcohol and bar snacks prove too strong? This will truly test how hard it could be to stick to their new lifestyle. Finally, six months on from the experiment, the program checks in to see if anyone has managed to stay sugar-free.
