Paris Hilton has agreed to front a TV show in the UK.

The socialite, 27, is reportedly being paid a whopping £500,000 to do a UK version of her hit series Paris Hilton’s New Best Friend.

A TV crew will follow her as she tries to find a Londoner to be her sidekick.

‘Paris is great on TV and bosses over here have been keen to snap her up for ages,’ a source tells the Sunday People.

‘Fronting her own show in the UK for the first time is a big risk but producers are confident they have got a ratings hit.

'They are shelling out a fortune not just on Paris but also production costs.’

Filming is due to start in the next couple of months and the programme will be screened on ITV2.
