Celebrity Quitters

Celebrity Quitters follows five celebrities as they vow to give up smoking, and banish the evil weed.

The five – Linda Robson, John Burton Race, Chloe Madeley, Paul Danan and Derek Acorah – have very little in common except an addiction to nicotine and their own personal incentive to quit NOW.

Under the watchful eye of GP Dr Ayan Panja and clinical psychologist, Dr Cecilia d’Felice, the series follows the five as they learn more about the killer diseases that come from smoking and take on challenges which push them to the limits.  As they start to confront their fears, they learn more about themselves and realise the choice they make – whether to be a smoker, or a quitter – is one of the defining decisions of their lives.
