Oxygen to air 'Janice & Abbey'

NEW YORK, Feb. 1 (UPI) -- The U.S. television network Oxygen said Friday it is adding the popular British series "Janice & Abbey" to its lineup.

The reality show is set to premiere a week after the Season 3 finale of "The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency."

The new series follows former supermodel Janice Dickinson and "Britain's Next Top Model" runner-up Abbey Clancy as Clancy attempts to prove she has what it takes to make it in the fashion industry, Oxygen said.

The show ran in October 2007 as a Web series on Oxygen's broadband channel.

It will have its U.S. television premiere Feb. 19 and the season will consist of six, half-hour episodes.

"Our audience simply can't get enough of Janice. She's the biggest draw to Oxygen.com and, of course, she's always popular on our air," Lauren Zalaznick, president of Bravo Media and Oxygen Media, said in a statement.

"Janice & Abbey" was originally produced by the U.K.-based Whizz Kid Productions under the title "Abbey & Janice: Beauty & The Best" for the British TV channel LIVING.
