2NV pin-up stars in new Channel 4 reality TV show<\/h3>\n
\"\"A BRITISH-Asian music star is all set to make a splash in a new reality TV show for Channel 4.<\/strong> <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Amaan Irees, one-half of the group 2NV, is one of ten men and eight women who will feature in the \u00a32.5 million show \u2018When Women Rule The World\u2019 set to hit our screens this month. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Filmed in a secret Caribbean village, the series sees the women taking sole charge of the village with the men obeying their every command as they bid to create their perfect female crafted community. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2018When Women Rule The World\u2019 is billed as the ultimate in the battle of the sexes and will be hosted by T4 heartthrob Steve Jones. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The show is already a big hit in the US, but Channel 4 producers were keen not to give the contestants any idea what they were getting themselves in to. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cRight from the start we were not given any indication to what the show was about or where we would be going\u201d, Amaan told DesiXpress. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThey gave us a list of things that we could bring with us like certain clothes, but we were told we were not allowed to have our mobile phones and that we would not be in touch with the outside world. That was the most worrying part, I can\u2019t live without my phone – even my shower has a phone in it!<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThe night before the flight, I was checked into a hotel at separate times from the other contestants so we didn\u2019t bump into each other. That night we were told that we were about to fly to the Caribbean and were just given basic do\u2019s and don\u2019ts.\u201d\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Amaan could have been forgiven for thinking he was in paradise after four days of living in Caribbean luxury. But the penny soon dropped when he realised just what he had got himself in to. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we arrived on location heaven turned into hell. That\u2019s when we found out that we have entered the women\u2019s society and we would all be servants and they would be our mistresses, because apparently they ruled the world.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

For Amaan, friends and family will get to see a different side to the star when the series bursts onto our screens this month \u2013 \u201cAll the people that know me will notice that I am not being cheeky for once in my life, they will see me on my hands and knees \u2013 for the right reasons of course\u201d!<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Amaan\u2019s participation in the show will see the star add to his increasingly growing portfolio. Already an established name on the Brit-Asian music scene, Amaan is forging a career on the screen and has already bagged himself a part in two Bollywood movies. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s next for Brit-Asian\u2019s newest reality star?<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI am currently spending a lot of time in Mumbai, as I\u2019ve recently been featured in 2 Bollywood movies, one is called \u201cStraight\u201d which stars Gul Panaag and Vinay Pathak, and the other is called \u201cMr Bhatti On Chutti\u201d which stars Anupam Kher, Shakti Kapoor, Pawan Shankar and Bhaivi Goswami.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI am also still working on music but most of that will be released for films in India. Whilst I was there I had a meeting with Mahesh Bhatt and he might be using one of my songs for his next big blockbuster.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

‘When Women Rule The World\u2019 hits our screens at 9pm on September 4.<\/strong><\/div>\n
