Liverpool FC is opening the doors of the dressing room and even the boardroom to television cameras.

ITV is in talks to buy the rights to the reality show, which is thought to feature Anfield stars, including captain Steven Gerrard and striker Andy Carroll.

Liverpool chairman Tom Werner said: “I expect it will be compelling programming as Liverpool will provide unprecedented access.”

Filming of six-part documentary Our Liverpool: Never Walk Alone began at the end of last season when the players were preparing to face Chelsea in the FA Cup Final.

The programme, being produced by US channel Fox, captures a period of change in which Kenny Dalglish was axed as manager and replacement Brendan Rodgers took the reigns.

Mr Werner said: “This will be an amazing opportunity for our fans to see a new side of the club and for us to reach out to potential supporters worldwide who will come to understand what makes Liverpool FC so special.”

Reality shows featuring Peter Andre and Katie Price as well as The Only Way Is Essex have aired on ITV2 but the Liverpool show would get a primetime ITV1 slot. It is hoped it will be the first of many series. A TV source said: “TOWIE is popular with female viewers but this could be a reality show for men.”

Liverpool FC managing director Ian Ayre said: “This project creates a fantastic opportunity to allow people across the world to have a glimpse of the inner workings of the club, following the lives of our staff, our players and our fans, all of whom make up everything that is Liverpool Football Club.”

Channel 4 reality show Desperate Scousewives was set in Liverpool but did not feature the city’s footballers.

One previous effort to go inside a football club was Premier Passions, broadcast on BBC1 in 1998.

It chronicled Sunderland AFC during the 1996-97 season, when the club was relegated from the Premiership and included foul-mouthed team talks by manager Peter Reid.
