Channel 4 has ordered Bad Baby, a new prank format for its digital platforms.

Hosted by former Love Island contestant Chloe Burrows, the six episodes will each see a guest prankster join her to unleash mayhem on an ordinary young couple who initially believe they are undertaking a simple baby care exercise with a totally normal doll.

Observing from her control centre, Chloe will see the unassuming couples thrown into the world of parenthood and required to perform a number of cringe-worthy tasks to soothe their foul-mouthed 'bad baby' in order to win a cash prize.

Bad Baby is a six-part series produced by Tuesday's Child. Steph Harris executive produces, with Will Brown as series producer. It is commissioned by Digital Commissioning Editor for Comedy, Charlie Hyland.

Brown co-wrote the series with Ben Spiteri, who directs.

Harris says: "Chloe is the perfect mistress of mischief to mess with our couples with the help of some of the best pranksters around - unleashing a far from innocent baby (and parents) on the unsuspecting public with hilarious and cringe results."
