Paddy Doherty is well known for being nonconformist.

And his reaction to beating prostate cancer is no different.

Most people will enjoy a meal out with friends and family or a glass of fizz at home, but Paddy decided to bungee jump off a bridge instead.

The former Celebrity Big Brother star has teamed up with Daniel Coll (Brassic, Emmerdale) to present a new travel show with a twist.

On the show, Dan and Paddy’s Bucket List, the holidaying duo will visit Kyushu in Japan and attempt some white knuckle challenges, including paragliding and bungee jumping, to confront their own fears and phobias.

They will also explore the traditions and cuisine of Kyushu, indulging in the best of Japanese lifestyle.

Paddy explained: “We have both gone through massive health troubles recently and decided we wanted to go on a big adventure and do a show that would be informative, exciting and fun with surprising challenges for us to do.”

Doherty, formerly from Salford, shot to fame in 2010 after being one of the Irish travellers featured in Channel 4 documentary My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding.

He will be joined by Daniel Coll, 58, who you might also recognise from appearances in Coronation Street.

He said: “We had many experiences that I always dreamed about, like paragliding, bungee jumps, visiting active volcanoes, and catching a live baseball game with a twist.

“I became good friends with Paddy while making a documentary with him and we wanted to do our bucket list in Japan. It’s a fun show to watch and we hope it will be the first of many to come.”

The 10-part series is a joint production between Killion Films, RKB of Japan and Travelxp.

Nisha Chothani, the director of Travelxp, said: “The series has been filmed in 8k technology so that viewers get the full impact of the adventures we have covered and see the true beauty of Kyushu.

“We have all come together and created something great here. Now that it’s about to go on air, we’re nervous and excited in equal measure.”

The series will be broadcast on TravelXP (Sky Channel 185) from January 27 to February 5 at 8pm.
