Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie have agreed to film a new series of the reality show The Simple Life.

The show had been put in danger by a year-long feud which saw the pair filming their sections separately.

But it has been confirmed they will play the role of children's camp counsellors in the newest adventure, set to begin production next month.

The show's executive producer, Jon Murray, said: "The thing the viewers love is the two girls together."

Survivalists

Mr Murray said for the next season of the programme he plans to put the pair on a deserted island with a group of survivalists.

The decision was reached after they agreed to appear side-by-side again.

"They reached out to each other in universal disdain for the island concept and rekindled their friendship," he said.

The two went public with their seemingly reconciled relationship on Sunday, arriving together at a restaurant in Los Angeles.
