Presenter Fearne Cotton is to shadow four famous women, including Scarlett Johansson and Paris Hilton, for a new ITV2 series in which she will attempt to find out what makes them tick.

The four part series, Fearne and..., which will also feature Alesha Dixon and Peaches Geldof, will see Cotton follow the stars at work and play through their daily lives as well as meeting their friends and families.

"I came up with the idea for this show because of my love of autobiographies," Cotton said. "The whole lifestyle behind the public image is fascinating. I love piecing together the jigsaw puzzle of what lies beneath the surface. The series will be a real chance to peel back the layers of certain celebrities' lives."

The ITV director of digital channels and acquisitions, Zai Bennett, who ordered the show along with commissioning editor for factual Diana Howie, added: "Fearne and ITV2 are good friends so we're delighted she will be able to find out what really makes some of the most talked about women in the world tick."

The series, which is being made by ITV Studios, is executive-produced by Jonathan Levi and directed by Iain Thompson.
