breasts (1/5)
wednesday, 20.00–21.00

This groundbreaking new documentary series provides a revealing insight into the complex world of women’s beauty, using candid testimony from real women across the country.

In a British television first, Body Hell takes viewers inside the bathrooms of female celebrities and everyday women as they pluck, squeeze and shave their bodies to within an inch of their lives. The series also asks why 98 per cent of women hate their bodies when they are perfectly normal and attractive. Unique in its genre, Body Hell does not attempt to make women over, but rather encourages them to love and accept their bodies –freckles, stretch marks, wrinkles and all!

The focus of Wednesday’s opening edition is breasts, and there are plenty of women eager to get some real issues off their chests. Kate Lawler, former ‘Big Brother’ winner and presenter of ‘RI:SE’, finds out what it is like to have larger breasts; viewers get a insight into the life of the woman with Britain’s biggest breasts; and one brave soul takes us into the taboo world of chest and nipple hair, explaining why she is prepared to reveal all.

A recent survey revealed that women in the UK groom themselves for an average of nine hours per week, spend £3,000 a year on beauty products, and keep an average of 86 different beauty items in their bathrooms. But ask any woman why she devotes so much time to her physical appearance and she might struggle to answer. Worse still, ask any woman what she actually does to maintain her body and she may never tell you the truth –it is far too embarrassing!

No woman watching will be surprised by these dramatic scenes, but all viewers may be shocked to see that they are finally being shown on TV. The series also asks why 98 per cent of women hate their bodies. Viewers will be introduced to women who cannot stand their elephant ankles, despise their cottage-cheese thighs, cry over their turkey necks and spend hours plucking ‘pig hairs’ from their chins. These women are convinced that they are the victims of some terrible genetic flaw, when in fact they are perfectly normal and attractive.
