Brainy blondes will be out to prove they are not as dizzy as many believe when they feature in a new TV quiz being filmed in Southend.

Former Big Breakfast presenter Mike McClean will be hosting the quiz from a hair salon next week, giving blondes the chance to prove their intellectual worth.

The BBC production team will bring three blondes with them to Legend in Southchurch Road, all with varying IQs and one of whom is a member of MENSA.
