Reports have emerged that Busted have landed a $1.8 million deal to star in an Osbournes-style reality TV show to be broadcast worldwide on MTV, which could see them break America.

“The show could make them global stars. The boys are massive in the UK, Europe and Japan and this could widen the net to America,” an insider with the trio said.

“They are young, fun and up for it. All the ingredients that will make the show great viewing. Ozzy Osbourne might have the upper hand when it comes to swearing but Busted have a huge female following who will be glued to the screen. Producers like that the boys have really different personalities which will come across on the show.”
