JBCP, which also publishes the 6.12m-run Sky Customer Magazine, will do the repro for the 100pp contract magazine in-house, and M-real will supply the paper.

Production manager Scot Matthews said this was the first time that JBCP had worked with Granada and, like all contract titles, this was an important win.

The A4-sized magazine, which is designed to win and keep a younger audience for the show by focusing on its sexy cast, will have a print run of nearly 200,000 and will sell on news-stands for around 5.

It is initially being developed as a one-off Christmas special, coming out mid-November.
