Beachgoers are being invited to feature in a new TV health series.

The makers of the Channel 4 shows Ten Years Younger and How to Live Longer are filming their latest programme on Brighton beach on Wednesday.

The unusual high temperatures this month have meant people have hit the beach early this year.

The programme's on screen GP will be on the beach talking to people about their sunbathing and tanning habits and answering questions about sun safety.

Questions include asking people if they know what to check for when it comes to moles and whether their skin has changed in recent years.

The team from programme makers Maverick will be based near the Riptide Gym from late morning.

Assistant producer Jo Harding said: "This is a really important health campaign that aims to encourage the nation to look at their skin, look after their skin and keep an eye on any new moles or changes in moles.

"The more people we can meet and talk to in Brighton the stronger the message will be."

The new series is scheduled to go out at prime time on Thursdays from the middle of next month.

Anyone interested in taking part in the filming are invited to go along on Wednesday.
