ORANGE is to show television programmes on its phones in the first project of its kind in the UK.

The mobile phone giant's Orange TV will feature news, sport and entertainment.

Customers will pay a £10 monthly subscription to view nine launch channels, which include ITN News, CNN and Cartoon Network and extreme sports.

Big Brother and Celebrity Love Island channels will also be available.

The service will be launched next week on the company's high-speed 3G network.
