What happens

Faking It is a reality television show that aired on Channel 4 from 18 September 2000 to 26 December 2006. It was revived on 5 from 20 May to 3 June 2025. Devised by Stephen Lambert, the programme's original concept was "a modern-day Pygmalion", referring to the George Bernard Shaw play in which flower girl Eliza Doolittle is trained to appear like an aristocrat.
