A NEW reality show starring Love Island and Towie favourites has been thrown into chaos after Queen Elizabeth II’s death. The cast of The Challenge learned of the late monarch's death during filming the gruelling series abroad and some of them have decided that they want to come home.
The brainchild of MTV, the series - which will reportedly air on C5 - is being filmed in South America. A source told The Sun: "The Challenge is filming at the moment in Argentina and normally the rules are that the contestants are cut off from the outside world and don't have their phones. "After the sad news of the Queen's death, producers felt it was only fair to tell the contestants the news and let them have their phones, but it's caused issues with production now as some of the contestants have been upset by the news and want to leave. "The producers are doing their best to get them all to stay.
