What was the name of that UK reality programme, similar premise to contender? It aired before the contender did in the UK. Was pretty crap. Then again, so was the contender. Had likes of Woodhall popping in to give tips??

It's not The Champ, is it? It was ODH version of it, which got cancelled for being ass hat.

It was amateurs- they trained up some lads from the South and some from the North, and the best one from each fought in a final?

Is that what you mean ?
