I've always enjoyed a bit of reality TV but didn't have as much access to it until I went on maternity leave last year.

I'm now completely addicted to: Four in a Bed, Come Dine with me, Dinner Date and the Bachelor/ette. I'm partial to a bit of Real Housewives of various places too.

My newest most favourite one though is Yummy Mummies (rich Australian pregnant ladies). It's so good.

Is this reasonable or do I really need to get a bloody life cut down?

Anything emergency services related - Real Rescues, Ambulance, Traffic Cops, 24 Hours in A&E, currently loving 'Saving Lives at Sea'.

Tattoo Fixers

I dont have and never will have a tattoo
I'm amazed at 1) the terrible tats people get/ let their friends do / do themselves 2) the art that the artists do to cover the tats

I used to love America's Next Top Model, even if it was bugger all to do with finding a new supermodel and was more about feeding Tyra Banks' out of control megalomania. Not seen it in years though.

I still watch and enjoy America's Next Top Model and Britain's Next Top Model.

Also love me a bit of Hoarding, Burried Alive (Family Secrets, Hoarders, ect.). Oh, and OC (Obsessive compulsive) Cleaners.

I love me some judge Judy.

And border control

And the various types of police chase

Basically I like watching scallywags and chancers getting their just deserts.

Love mindless trashy tv. No need to think about it. Just sit and watch and relax.

DontCallMeCharlotte · 09/09/2017 13:15

When I worked from home my poison was Nothing to Declare. Back to back epidodes for hours. And I quite liked Four Weddings. I have no doubt I would ADORE Say Yes to the Dress but I've never found the time - or the channel - to watch it.

Goldenbug · 09/09/2017 13:33

At the moment it's 5 celebs going motorhoming. Melvyn Hayes is alive!

Sgtmajormummy · 09/09/2017 13:54

Project Runway.
Usually on YouTube. It appeals to my base desires for tinsel, shock-horror garments and badly executed designs.
Screen shots that last about five seconds - bam, bam, bam. Tim Gunn being sweet and supportive just to set them up for the firing squad of judges.
Love it.

ChelleDawg2020 · 09/09/2017 13:59

I used to love Pimp My Ride UK - the UK version with Tim Westwood. Couldn't stand the American version, but the UK one was brilliant.

Also Pawn Stars, and Pro-Bull Riding, although the channel I used to watch that on isn't available now.

CanIBuffalo · 09/09/2017 14:04

Gogglebox and Nothing to Declare.
My judgy pants get such an airing.

99blueballoons · 09/09/2017 14:16

Ooo CanIBuffalo I love Gogglebox. The idea of it horrifies me- it's such a 1984 dystopian concept. I find it really relaxing to watch though!

Why am I only finding out forensic files is on Netflix now my maternity leave is over 😫
