WOULD you like to get away from social media and throw away those digital devices which take up so much of modern life?

People from St Helens are invited to take part in a TV series in which they can go and live a simpler life.

TV company Five Mile Films are making the new series this year for a major British TV channel.

They are looking for people to apply to take part who are wanting to live a simpler life.

The filming will take place over a number of months this year in rural Britain.

A spokeswoman for the company said:: "The idea behind the series is about saying goodbye to smartphones, Zoom calls, social media, Amazon etc – all the distractions and pressures of normal life - to go and live a simpler life, experience the ‘good life’ fantasy and think about what our modern life and its multitude of choices, has really given us.

"We will explore the idea of whether in fact, less is more.

"We are looking for people of all ages to apply; families, couples, single people – to take time out from their normal life and step into a different way of living."
