Spoof celebrity gossip show that brings you the 'real stories' behind the headlines. Footage captured by members of the public on their camera phones, recorded on CCTV cameras and leaked by indiscreet staff, this is every celeb PR's worst nightmare - all as imagined by BAFTA-winner Alison Jackson.

Hosts Sean Young and Pips Taylor, accompanied by their roving reporter and Hollywood correspondent, round up the hot stories, while a clever blend of real archive images and fake footage means viewers can never be 100 per cent certain what is real.
