MUMBAI: US broadcaster Oxygen will put a twist on the relationship reality genre with Breaking Up with Shannen Doherty.

The television star comes to the rescue of men and women who are unable to muster up the courage to break off their toxic relationships with bad boyfriends/girlfriends, frenemies, or tyrannical bosses.

Doherty joins forces with people in relationship peril who want to get out but just cant seem to do it on their own. She will listen to the plight of her new client and put their mates to the test by creating a fictitious situation caught by a hidden camera - to determine the true character of the relationship.

If the test is failed, Doherty then helps put the relationship out of its misery. In each episode, Doherty will then help mastermind the break-up, and be on the scene to deliver the news and resolve the break-up. The goal at the end is for both parties to agree that its all for the best and its time to move on.

Oxygen says that Doherty is the ideal addition to its roster of funny and fascinating women.
