A MODEL from Flintshire is among a group of eight young Welsh people taking part in a new S4C show which sees them ditch their everyday luxuries for life out in the sticks.
In a new six-part reality series for HANSH, S4C's youth platform, eight of Wales' worst young eco-offenders share two yurts in rural west Wales for six days without central heating or any luxuries.
This is a new format for Welsh broadcaster S4C, combining reality TV with important and topical issues, and with a competitive element also added to the mix.
Among those chosen to take part is Mold's Alaw Haf, who is a content creator on the OnlyFans platform.
Speaking ahead the show airing, Alaw admits to spending most of her money on make up and fillers and was therefore not happy arriving at camp with only the one toilet using sawdust to flush, and the one shower serving the whole camp.
She said: "I hated it. Everything was dirty and cold. But I stuck to it, I pulled my weight there turning my hand at all kinds, and the whole experience taught me a lot."
Alaw, who is also a Wrexham AFC fan, added: "I was like at the beginning, here we go, the eco thing again, but it has made me think more about individual responsibility. It was actually quite nice not to be on the phone, and to speak with people!"

Y Tŷ Gwyrdd (Translated to 'The Green House' in English) is presented by radio and TV presenter Sian Eleri.
She says: "What a week! The group put their all into an incredibly challenging six days away from the usual home comforts.
"Even for the more eco-conscious among us, the experts who came to Y Tŷ Gwyrdd dropped several factual bombshells that got us all thinking about our personal impact on the planet, and the little things we can do to make the world a greener place.
"While I don't envy the group's compost-toilet situation, I do wish I got to dip in the sustainable hot tub!"
