I feel I've gone a step too far with Loose Women. I thought I'd take that one to the grave with me!

I've found you. My soul mates.

I can't/don't admit these ever. The only person who knows my dirty tv secrets is my husband. And now you.

I have so many, but a few particular 'highlights' of my list;
Ex on the Beach
Love Island
Keeping up with the Kardashians
Say Yes to the Dress (Atlanta is the best one, never the UK version)
Married at first sight USA
Riverdale
... I won't, but could go on

Is Victorious the one with Ariana Grande? @Mumshappy

Is there something wrong with us! Aren't these shows meant for teens?

Border Force (I think it's called) - AKA the Australian fruit confiscation show that's on one of the reality channels on weekends, 6-7pm. Every episode is either "dodgy looking young guy comes through customs looking stoned, whatever will happen next?" or "granny from Mumbai is found smuggling a mango in her holdall, what will they do?" but I am RIVETED!

Oh my goodness. I think I AM you, OP. My tastes in TV basically haven’t matured since I discovered Dawson’s Creek as a teenager and I’m 34 now.

If you have Netflix there are some excellent movies on there which should fill the Gossip Girl hole when you finish. Try ‘all the boys I’ve loved before’, ‘the kissing booth’ and ‘Ibiza’.

I teach in an FE college and the student demographic of my course is mainly 16-19 yr old girls. Little do they know, I could discuss their favourite tv shows in depth with them. They would look at me in a whole new light

I like the fruit smugglers too. Apart from when it's really weird stuff from China. Some of it make me feel sick.

@mrsjayy. I to love stop search seize, especially when they do the red diesel checks. I live near the border and filling up with red and avoiding the checks is a pastime - there are WhatsApp groups that share red diesel check locations.

I’m highly amused by the American border force program with the gun toting, sun glass wearing, muscle drug enforcement border police officer - and then in Dublin airport you have Bruce seizing 200 fags of Sean back from 2 weeks in Magaluff!
