ITV has unveiled a slate of female-focused factual documentaries to air on ITVBe later this year.

The episodes will be fronted by a series of ITV regulars, including actor Jacqueline Jossa, British Olympic Boxer Nicola Adams, singer and actress Hannah Spearritt and Tanya Bardsley of The Real Housewives of Cheshire. Amanda Stavri, ITV’s Commissioning Editor of Reality TV said: “These four equally brilliant documentaries would not have been possible without Jacqueline, Nicola & Ella, Hannah and Tanya’s support and bravery, and so we’d like to pass on our thanks to them for sharing their personal experiences to help raise awareness and bring these real-life issues to light.”
