Channel 4 has commissioned Shameless for an eighth series.

The new run will see the series extended from 16 episodes to 22 after it was cut last year.

The Stage quotes creator Paul Abbott as saying: "I genuinely love the idea of us taking Shameless further - to be ambitious and to pull off stuff that we haven't yet. That excites me beyond belief.

"Shameless is the show I'm most proud of being associated with. There has never been, and still isn't, anything remotely like it. That matters to me."

The show's seventh series is due to air on Channel 4 from January 2010.

Earlier this year, Showtime greenlit a Shameless pilot for US audiences.

Ricky Hatton will reportedly have a cameo in the next series of Shameless.

According to The Sun, the champion boxer was "knocked out" to meet the cast of the Channel 4 drama.

"He was buzzing when he got the part," a source said. "Now he can't wait for the episode to be screened."

The insider added that Hatton's cameo sees him confronting one of the main characters.

The seventh series of Shameless is due to air in January. An eighth series was commissioned earlier this month.

Used to be I would never miss a episode of this but after seris 3 I have given up, it is just not the same with the new people. Should have never been dragged out for this long.

Its more about the Maguires than the Gallaghers now

Mickey is the best character imo he should get a spin off show

THINGS aren’t exactly going swimmingly for Shamless's Shane Maguire in the new C4 series.

The poor lad, played by Nicky Evans, 31, is locked in the boot of a car which is then dumped in a river.

Thankfully his brother Jamie (Aaron McCusker, 31) is on hand to rescue him from a watery grave and drag him to safety.

The eighth series of Shameless is due to be screened next year.

Shameless star Elliott Tittensor has been arrested after a teenager was seriously injured in an alleged hit-and-run incident.

The actor is said to have failed to stop when his BMW Z4 hit the 18-year-old man on Kentish Town Road in north London at 2am on Sunday.

Police sources told the Press Association that Tittensor had been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

But Scotland Yard would only confirm that the 20-year-old star had been arrested and questioned in connection with the collision.

The teenager suffered head injuries and was taken to hospital by ambulance.

Reports suggested he had been blinded.

Kentish Town Road was temporarily closed due to the incident.

Tittensor, who plays Carl Gallagher in the Channel 4 show, handed himself in at a police station an hour and a half later.

His girlfriend, Skins actress Kaya Scodelario, was reportedly in the car at the time and is being treated as a witness.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "Police were called at 2.02am on Sunday 15 August to Kentish Town Road to reports of a collision involving a BMW Z4 and a pedestrian.

"An 18-year-old man was taken by London Ambulance Service to hospital suffering from head injuries.

"His condition is serious but stable. The male driver did not stop at the scene.

"He later handed himself into officers at a central London police station at approximately 3.30am and was arrested in connection with the collision."

Tittensor was subsequently bailed to return to a central London police station at a date in mid-September.

The actor came to public attention when he appeared alongside his identical twin brother, Luke, in Brookside.

Luke went on to play Daz Eden in Emmerdale, joining the cast in October 2003.

When Shameless started in 2004, the brothers at first shared the role of Carl Gallagher.
