Soon Paris Hilton will not only have an American BFF but a British one as well! The 27-year-old heiress is $1 million richer after signing a contract to appear in a British spinoff of her new MTV reality series, Paris Hilton’s New BFF.

Paris will be paid $100,000 an episode to star in Paris Hilton’s New BFF-UK, a show that will feature the party girl hunting for a Londoner to become her new partner in crime.

“Paris is great on TV and bosses over here have been keen to snap her up for ages. Fronting her own show in the UK for the first time is a big risk but producers are confident they have got a ratings hit.”

“They are shelling out a fortune not just on Paris but also on production costs.”

Paris hits the UK this October to begin shooting the series. Paris Hilton’s New BFF premieres on Britain’s ITV2 later this year.

“I’m in the U.K. all the time, but of course I can’t bring all my friends, so I’ve decided to look for a new BFF across the pond,” Paris says of her new show.

“I need a best friend who is hot, who can keep up with me, and most of all, who is real and won’t be a backstabber. I’m not leaving London until I find that amazing girl or guy who can meet the challenges of being my British bestie!”
