BBC Two - Celebrities on the NHS Frontline, Series 1, Episode 1

Celebrities work at a hospital to find out what it takes to keep the nation alive.

Stacey Dooley, Jonnie Peacock, Ann Widdecombe and Michael Mosley work alongside staff at King's College Hospital to find out what it takes to keep the nation alive.

At King's College Hospital, reporter Stacey Dooley, Paralympic gold medallist Jonnie Peacock, ex-politician Ann Widdecombe and medical journalist Michael Mosley work alongside hospital staff to find out, from the people who know the NHS best, just what it takes to keep the nation alive.

In the first episode Stacey works as a healthcare assistant, changing beds and cleaning bed pans on the liver ward, as she explores how lifestyle illnesses impact the NHS. Ann works alongside nurses in the busiest department - urgent care - to explore why the health service is under such pressure. Jonnie is a theatre assistant in surgery to understand the demands on the operating teams, and Michael, who trained as a doctor in the 1980s, gets hands-on in A&E to see if it is tougher now than it was then.
