Would you bare all on tv?

I've just spent a whole rare evening sprawled in front of the telly.

I watched three programmes in a row were people laid bare their innermost secrets, and in some cases their actual bare nakedness.

First of all there was touchy feely posh gels Trinny and Susannah. This time not only dressing people, but also sorting out a couple's marrital relationship.

It sounds appalling, but parts of it were quite moving. Here was a married couple with a nineteen year age difference, as well as a seven inch difference in height, he being the older and smaller, and both the parents of two autistic children.

Whilst sorting out their wardrobes, the wife admitted on camera that she had been unfaithful in the last three weeks. Like I said it sounds like car crash tv, but the results did seem to bring them closer and seem a little happier with each other.

Then we had mail order Russian brides on Channel 4, followed by the private lifes ot two mistresses. All very intimate.

Morning television schedules are full of 'real life' confessional programmes. From Jerermy Kyle to Trisha. All full of people willing to open up and share their innermost and private feelings and problems with the viewer.

Has anyone ever appeared on these programmes?

Do you know anyone who has?

Would you?

We did have one member Jason who appeared with his wife Becki on Wife Swap, but with fame came a move to Blackpool, and we don't know his feelings on the subject.

If you did appear what would the tag line be at the bottom of the screen?

My neice once appeared on one of these morning shows , she had taken her younger brother because the subject was all about kids not going to school although no good came from it lol he still wouldnt go even after saying on tv that he would ..
I personally think they are dated now and dont like them myself unless its a documentary on real life people with a subject that actually interests me

I once caught the train back home to London with a couple that were going down to appear on Trisha.

Nosey git that I am, I recorded it for a month to see if I could find out what their problem was, to no avail.

Lol, parts of the cosey night under the blanket were fascinating.

I came to the conclusion that a woman who describes herself as 'a professional mistress', and has three lovers with no emotional involvement, and wanted even more, was just a prostitute who was too thick to charge the men that used her.

The OU does business courses so she had better sign up for one. To be that emotionaly dead must take some practice.

Her poor twenty one year old son, who also appeared in the programme, thought she was on downward spiral, and facing a lonely old age too.

Dont know if there is a course on how to grow old discracefully. As for being lonely she might get a flash of reality and find one to keep.

I've bared all on film. I wouldn't go on trisha though, I had a chance to but declined, my ex went on trisher with her brother and her friend. The story was he couldn't get a girl. my ex was visiting her friend up liverpool at the time, they called her because they wanted someone to go on with her brother to stir it as they do, but because she was up there with the friend they invited her too. He travelled down from the midlands, they travelled down from liverpool. all paid for, cheuffuer limo to the london gateway services hotel, then to the studio, then to the station.
BUT what trisher didn't know and still doesn't know is that it was all a farce. All three ended up in the girls room, he'd never met the friend, they ancied each other and went off to his room leaving my ex on her own (a nasty thing to do i think). So when he went on the show with his sis the next day saying he couldn't get a girl it was untrue, he had got a girl, and a few weeks later maried her. Would have probably made a more interesting show if he'd told the truth.
I have been through some of the most bizarre circumstances and situations with that ex. which is why I feel a responsibility to her that ultimately cost me me new relationship.
should be me n her on trisha not her brother but I wouldn't not ever.

Professional? Sounds like a total amatuer to me. Aren't professionals supposed to get paid?

I wouldn't mind one of those extreme makeover programs. Maybe like the American one where they totlaly rebuild your house.
