Redmond will turn his struggles with drug addiction into a new reality show, and has signed a new deal, brokered for him by his dad, according to In Touch magazine.

A source tells the publication, "Ryan will be on the show, too."

The untitled series is scheduled to start shooting in December (09), when the 24 year old is released from a California detention centre, where he is undergoing intense treatment to kick his drug habit.

The insider adds, "Redmond wants to do this to honour his mother. He really wants to get better to honour her memory.

"Redmond will be followed by a trainer and a bodyguard who will try to help him get a job and have a real life."

Fawcett lost her battle with cancer in June (09).
