ITV: Drama vs Reality - Trap

ITV’s new brand campaign, 'Drama vs Reality', highlights the wealth of drama and reality shows that are available on ITV Hub. The idea behind the series shows stars from drama and reality TV stopping at nothing in the fight for our attention. In the fourth instalment of this campaign, we see Emmy-winning Marcella actor Anna Friel’s cunning plan to wipe out reality stars Olivia Attwood & Bradley Dack unfold. In these epic fights for our attention we see drama collide with reality on our screens in the most memorable ways. The campaign launched with McDonald and Dodds actor Jason Watkins trying to poison Love Island star Kem Cetinay. Followed by Innocent star Katherine Kelly kidnapping both TOWIE’s Pete Wicks and Bobby Norris in her kitchen cupboard. And most recently with actor Richie Campbell and reality star Ferne McCann go head to head in an epic helicopter shoot out. But this latest film, titled ‘Trap’, we open on reality couple and stars of Olivia Meets Her Match, Olivia & Brad, walking on set, where we hear a conversation between the couple, Olivia questioning “What is drama anyway? It’s just a load of words and people pretending”, in her argument on why reality requires “proper talent” and is the superior genre. They’re suddenly stopped in their tracks when Olivia spots a ridiculously cute dog with ‘I love Olivia’ hung on it’s collar, and she cannot resist snapping a picture. Little do they know that the pooch has been tactically placed there as bait by Marcella star Anna Friel, in a cunning attempt to take the couple out. What happens next is probably one of the most unexpected scenes of the Drama vs Reality campaign. Without warning a skip drops and completely wipes out the couple underneath. It cuts to Anna Friel holding a radio control as she walks to pick up the cute pooch. “Good boy”, she says as she gives it a hug and praises it for playing part in her masterplan.
