World's biggest hoax set for blast off
By Rick Fulton
TWO Scots are among the nine unlucky contestants who face becoming the laughing stock of the UK inTV show Space Cadets.
Cheryl Dearie, 23, and Ryan McBride, 28, both from Glasgow, are being duped in the world's most expensive hoax.
They were picked from 100 hopefuls for the series, which begins tonight.
The group have been told they are competing for a chance to be flown to 100km above the Earth.
About £5million has been spent by Channel 4 on making the "mission" look authentic.
The contestants think they are currently "training" in Russia, courtesy of STAR (Space Tourism Agency of Russia). But, in fact, they are in a disused Suffolk military base.

The shuttle they will supposedly fly in is a mock-up from Clint Eastwood's film Space Cowboys.
Cheryl and Ryan thought they were recruited because they see themselves as thrill-seekers But, in fact, they were really chosen because they are easily led.
Housing association assistant Cheryl believes in reincarnation and ghosts and claims a guardian angel visited her when she was 16.
In details released about the contestants yesterday, she says she"feels that taking part in a thrill-seekers' show of this nature would give her the chance to do something unique".
Electrician Ryan believes in UFOs and is a practical joker.
He once asked 10 of his friends and family to meet him at the airport, expecting him to arrive back from Australia.
But he never appeared. It was his April Fool's joke and he was still in Oz.
The other seven space cadets include call centre worker Astrid Roberts, 19, who thinks she drowned in a previous life because she hates water.
Recruitment consultant Billy Jackson, 25, claims to have seen an alien.
PE teacher Louise Nisbet, 23, does not like the dark and worries what her parents think. She's got a sea-horse tattoo which they don't know about. Plasterer Paul French, 26, believes he has seen ghosts.
As well as the nine fall guys, three actors - Charlie Skelton, Ranie Daw and Steve Hester - are taking part to help ensure the hoax is successful The show's executive producer, Shirley Jones, said: "They're all quite excited and up for it, and loving the whole process."
Although they don't know it yet, each of the contestants could make £25,000 despite being the butt of a huge TV joke.
But if the cadets realise they are being hoaxed, the show will have failed However, no expense has been spared in trying to make the setting look authentic.
Shirley said: "We've had to change every socket, every manhole cover and bulb.
"We've been over to Russia and emptied the supermarkets of food, toilet paper, matches, cigarettes, anything from a vending machine. Everything is now Russian."
The one-hour programmes will be screened for the next 10 nights, hosted by Johnny Vaughan. The finale will be on December 16.
#SPACE CADETS starts on Channel 4, at 9pm tonight

It said on the radio this morning that they have even started to say that the water tastes different in Russia
And they flew round Scotland for 4 hours to make them think they were going to Russia.
