0:00:02 > 0:00:04Liverpool. Newcastle. Manchester. Cardiff.
0:00:04 > 0:00:08Snog, Marry, Avoid is on tour and pitching up to a city near you.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13POD, you've got your work cut out!
0:00:16 > 0:00:21Our Personal Overhaul Device, otherwise known as POD has been stripped down and rebooted.
0:00:21 > 0:00:25And she's waging war on Britain's biggest fakers.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30If it's fake, rest assured POD will find it.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33POD, let me in, I've come to talk to you.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36This week, we're back in the place where heels are high and white
0:00:36 > 0:00:38and the local lingo is legendary.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Oh, my God! Shut up! Well jel! Reem!
0:00:42 > 0:00:45That's right, we're in...Essex.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57Hiya, POD.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00- Hello, Ellie, in you pop. - Thank you.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hello, POD, welcome to my homeland of Essex.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09And what is Essex famous for?
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Well, I like to think of it as the lady garden of England.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16If it's a garden, it's got quite a lot of plastic furniture in it.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18The girls look like this.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20"Oh, God, I'm SO happy."
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Exactly, which brings me to your mission today.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Please hit the streets of Essex
0:01:26 > 0:01:29and find out why it's addicted to cosmetic surgery.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34- Do I have to have a boob job? - No need to blow up your baubles, Ellie, just do your best.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Totes, not a worry, babes. All over it, 100%.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Coming up on tonight's show we meet a pole dancing primadonna
0:01:41 > 0:01:44with a passion for posing.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46I do like it when I walk into a room
0:01:46 > 0:01:48and everyone turns round and looks at me.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52We hit the streets of Chelmsford once again where I find out more about Essex style.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56- Do you like it when girls have fake boobs?- Yeah. - No hanging around, just, "Yeah!"
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- Yeah, they do, they look good fake boobs.- The bigger the better?
0:01:59 > 0:02:00Bigger the better.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03POD meets some more of the city's fashion fiascos.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05You look like you've had a bit of work done.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Eyelash extensions.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10In true Essex style, I get a bit lippy!
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- What do you think?- Oh, wow!
0:02:12 > 0:02:14And also meeting POD for a wash and brush up
0:02:14 > 0:02:17is a daringly dressed doll from Derby.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22They're very tiny...I can't breathe!
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Essex style - fake tan, fake boobs, white stilettos.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- Fake hair.- Fake eyelashes.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Sunbeds, boys have them just as much as girls, to be fair.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Plastic surgery is very big around here.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44You'll see a lot of girls with very fake boobs.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- Fake boobs.- Fake boobies! Wooo!
0:02:47 > 0:02:49- Do you like it when girls have fake boobs?- Yeah.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54- No hanging around, just, "Yeah!" The bigger the better? - The bigger the better.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Looking orange is very Essex.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58Fake tan by the lorry load.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01I feel like a ghost going out, generally, most nights.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- BOTH:- Lips are popular in Essex.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Trout pout.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Like a fish. Trout fish.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Have you ever kissed a girl who's had fillers in her lips?
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- Probably, most probably, yeah.- Most probably! "I've kissed 'em all!"
0:03:18 > 0:03:19Everything goes down in this place.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22It's all fake round here, mate, definitely, yeah.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29First up is a girl who's an insurance broker.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34But will POD compute that her brains are no compensation for her fakery?
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Hi, my name's Kiya Jacobs and I'm 21 years old
0:03:40 > 0:03:43and I'm an apprentice insurance broker at the moment.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47I'm doing Accounts at college, as well.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52I do like it when I walk into a room and everyone turns round and looks at me.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56My style is really big hair, big eyelashes,
0:03:56 > 0:03:58lots of stuff on my nails.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Boobs pushed up. Definitely bum out all the time.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04Pole dancing, it's amazing.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08I love it so much I've got a pole in my front room.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12I've been with my boyfriend for six years now.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14I think she's really outrageous.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17It's a nightmare cos she'll have me brushing her extensions out
0:04:17 > 0:04:21and combing them and straightening them and helping her wash and dry them.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I really hope my dad never watches this.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Some of my friends hate my look. They do not like it.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33They would appreciate me to wear no extensions, no eyelashes and cover up a bit more.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36I just hate the fact that she doesn't know that she's pretty naturally.
0:04:36 > 0:04:42The hair extensions, the eyelashes, all the make-up that she puts on.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Gorgeous.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45She just doesn't need it.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Come on, girls, let's go get drunk!
0:04:51 > 0:04:55- She's just one big piece of hair, isn't she?- Yeah!
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- Not someone you can forget.- No!
0:04:58 > 0:05:01I want a make-under cos I think it would help with my career.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05If I was to stay in insurance broking or go into accounts,
0:05:05 > 0:05:07I think they would be looking for a more professional look,
0:05:07 > 0:05:10rather than a fake look.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14I really hope that POD makes Kiya see that she's naturally beautiful.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Good luck with this, POD, cos you've got a whole lot to sort out with this hair and these outfits.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Well, Kiya proves you can never judge a book by its cover,
0:05:24 > 0:05:27so I'm off to meet her to get the full story.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- So, Kiya, do you come here often? - Well, you know, every night.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Only joking! No, I've never been here before.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37- But you're quite a big fan of pole dancing.- Yeah.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38Oh, that was pretty!
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Cos your day job is a little bit different to being a pole dancer.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Yeah, at the minute, I'm an apprentice insurance broker
0:05:44 > 0:05:47and I do accountancy at college as well.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49See, when I think of accountants
0:05:49 > 0:05:52I think of little speccy dudes in ties...
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I do actually have some like zebra-print glasses...
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- See, even that's too funky for it! - I know, yeah.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59So what are you hoping you learn from POD, then?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02I think it's come to a time where I want to be more professional
0:06:02 > 0:06:05and progress with my career,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08and I don't think I'll be able to do it very well looking like this!
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Well, I've got as little quiz here
0:06:10 > 0:06:12just to do a quick test on your mental arithmetic.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- Are you ready? - I am. It's probably not going to be any good, though.
0:06:15 > 0:06:2058 x 1000 + 8?
0:06:20 > 0:06:2258,008.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25And what happens if you turn that round on a calculator?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- It says BOOBS!- Ha-ha, I was going to say I don't know.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Well, all the very best of luck
0:06:30 > 0:06:34and all that it remains for me to say is, POD awaits.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Oh, POD is going to need a lot of luck to sort all this out.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49- I am POD, the Personal Overhaul Device. Who are you?- My name is Kiya.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54- Kiya?- Yes, POD? - Is that a yeti on your head?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Erm, no, it's actually some amazing hair extensions.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Amazing hair extensions that you stole off a yeti?
0:07:00 > 0:07:05- No, they're actually better than a yeti.- Better than a yeti?- Yeah!
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- Where did you get all that hair? - Off eBay.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15Could you not have bought yourself some clothes at the same time?
0:07:15 > 0:07:18This is actually quite covered up, I think.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21How do you usually dress on a night out?
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Bum out, legs out, boobs out.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- POD presumes you're a stripper.- No!
0:07:28 > 0:07:33- My career goal is to one day be a successful accountant.- Really?!
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Really, POD.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Why does an intelligent girl want to look like a stripper with a yeti on her head?
0:07:38 > 0:07:39I think it looks good.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43I actually think that all accountants should have to dress like this.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Hmm, shall we find out what the public think about your look?
0:07:47 > 0:07:48- SIGHING:- Yes, POD.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Run Phase One, Public Analysis.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56I asked the general public would you want to snog, marry or avoid this girl.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58What do you think they said?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- I think they probably said avoid... - Correct.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I would avoid because I prefer natural beauty
0:08:05 > 0:08:07and she looks too fake for me.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- It's not really that bad though, is it, POD?- It is quite bad.- OK, POD.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15I would avoid this girl. Little bit too fake.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18I need...I like the natural look.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21I'm thinking people are starting to like the natural look these days.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- Seems to be a theme emerging. - I'd avoid this girl.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- She looks far too fake, and she looks a bit nasty.- I'm not nasty!
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- No, you're certainly not.- Definitely not, POD.- But your look is.
0:08:32 > 0:08:38- In fact, 80% of the public want to avoid you.- That's not that bad...
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- 20% do want to snog you.- Oh, that's...no-one wanted to marry me?!
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- No-one.- Oh...that's not very good, is it?- Affirmative.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49And are you ready to hear POD's verdict on your look, Kiya?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51I am, POD.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54POD computes that you are a yeti-haired slap addict
0:08:54 > 0:08:55and you need my...
0:08:59 > 0:09:05- OK, pod.- Are you ready to proceed to stage two?- I'm ready, POD.
0:09:09 > 0:09:14It looks like you've got a massive beard. Hair extensions, please...
0:09:18 > 0:09:24I think that's them all out now, POD, and I look awful.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Hold them up... You look like a cheerleader for fakery.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30I am the cheerleader of fakery, POD.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34- Lose the lashes. - This is emotional, POD.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37More like EMULSIONAL, with all that war paint..
0:09:37 > 0:09:41- Look at the colour of that! - Sorry, POD.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Run the make-under...
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Oh, my God.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59What?!
0:09:59 > 0:10:03I look really strange. I look a different person.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06I do actually quite like it.
0:10:06 > 0:10:11- POD computes you have delighted my data banks.- Thank you.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14How does it feel to see yourself as a stunning natural beauty?
0:10:14 > 0:10:18I think it feels very different seeing myself like this, POD.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21I feel more grown up, really!
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- Shall we find out what the general public think of your look? - Yes, OK, then, POD.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27I would snog her cos she looks professional,
0:10:27 > 0:10:29well-presented and articulate.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34- That's a nice comment.- It's true, as well, isn't it?- Oh, thank you.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39I'd probably snog but I might even marry, cos she's pretty hot, to be honest.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Wow, I can't complain about that, can I, POD?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44I think I'd snog her.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48She has a little cheekiness about her that sort of draws me in.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50SHE LAUGHS
0:10:50 > 0:10:54Kiya, all those comments, how does it feel to be a natural beauty?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57It feels really good, POD.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01- In fact, 80% of the public now want to snog you.- Oh, wow, no avoids then!
0:11:01 > 0:11:03And 20% want to marry you.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Oh, that's good, POD.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Which means 100% of the public now want to snog you or marry you.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11That's really good, POD.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14POD computes you now look lovely and like an A1 accountant.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Thank you, POD.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19Now we've toned down the tartiness, you look bang on the money.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- Goodbye, Kiya.- Bye!
0:11:28 > 0:11:31I feel quite good about my new look. It's quite sophisticated.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35I'm very excited to see my friends and my boyfriend.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37I can't wait to see their reactions.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40We're just here waiting for Kiya to see her make-under.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42We're all buzzing!
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- I'm excited.- I'm excited. I'm REALLY excited to see her.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Yeah, I can't wait to see her.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Oh, my God!
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Oh, my God!
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I can't believe it.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01I think POD did an amazing job.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03It's even better than I thought it was going to be.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05She looks absolutely amazing.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08I've never seen her naturally before, so, yes, she looked gorgeous.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11You'll never, ever make that hair big!
0:12:11 > 0:12:12My boyfriend was very shocked.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14She looked absolutely amazing.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17I was gobsmacked, I was lost for words.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20She looked so beautiful and I've never seen her like that.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22POD's done amazing.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25It was such a nice surprise.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Thank you for sorting me out, POD, you've made me look much more sophisticated,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35so now hopefully I'll have a successful career.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Here's to my new look.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38ALL: Cheers!
0:12:41 > 0:12:45POD set me the challenge of finding out why surgery reigns supreme in Essex.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48I think it's only right I have my own little procedure done,
0:12:48 > 0:12:50non-surgical, of course.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Let's see what Chelmsford makes of these.
0:12:55 > 0:13:00# Pump up the volume, pump up the volume... #
0:13:00 > 0:13:02What do you make of this?
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Ooh, wow!
0:13:04 > 0:13:08I think they're way too big for your face.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- What do you think? - SHE LAUGHS
0:13:12 > 0:13:15You look like a blow-up doll.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- What do you reckon of these? - Quite bulbous.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- Bulbous is never a positive words, is it?- It doesn't look nice.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- I wouldn't want to kiss you. - No, I wouldn't want to snog you.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Do you think you would kiss someone with lips like this?
0:13:29 > 0:13:33- Maybe for money, but not just for the fun.- How much?
0:13:33 > 0:13:35A couple of hundred quid at least.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- We haven't got that in petty cash, that's never going to work.- Oh!
0:13:38 > 0:13:43- ESSEX ACCENT:- Then I met Peter in the jungle and then we fell in love.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45And then we sold a story
0:13:45 > 0:13:49and, er...then we got divorced.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52If anyone is going to know a trout pout, it's this lot.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- Which is more appealing? - I think the trout.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00- Would you rather snog the trout? - Yeah, with them lips, yeah.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Now it's time to see what POD reckons.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Oh, dear, get in here now.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Guess what I had done.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Oh, my, POD! What have you done to your face?
0:14:11 > 0:14:16- Just a little bit of enhancement. - Can you move your mouth?- Not really.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Then POD suggests it's time to lose the lips.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22I think that's an excellent idea because I can't actually talk properly.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25I'll see you later. Bye.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Next up is a fancy dresser who loves turning heads on a night out,
0:14:31 > 0:14:35which means she'll probably turn POD's stomach, if POD had a stomach.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40Hi, I'm Adele from Derby and I'm a Princess of fantasy fashion.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43# Let me be your fantasy... #
0:14:43 > 0:14:46I'm a trained fashion designer
0:14:46 > 0:14:49and I like my dressing up, my fancy dress.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54I like all my corsets and my PVC.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56It's very tiny, I can't breathe.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Some of my outfits are risque. Hot pants.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05A little sailor outfit, sexy Santa outfits.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08This is one of my favourite little leather tops.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12I'm a firm believer in stockings.
0:15:12 > 0:15:13I do have a shoe fetish.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18These are one of my favourite pairs
0:15:18 > 0:15:21because they're shiny and really, really high.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Things on me that are fake would be
0:15:24 > 0:15:25obviously my hair colour,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28my nails, false eyelashes.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31I've got a fake tan on. I've had my teeth bleached.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35My piercings, obviously I wasn't born with them.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Awesome, I'm ready now for a really big night out.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46I think Adele should go and see POD,
0:15:46 > 0:15:48cos it will dramatically change her life.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52And she'll see a different side of herself
0:15:52 > 0:15:53and it will do her the world of good.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58I'm a little bit nervous what POD might say,
0:15:58 > 0:16:02I guess, but I'm sure I've heard worse.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08Pod, I'm really looking forward to meeting you.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10POD's got her work cut out with this girl.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Well, Adele certainly likes experimenting with her wardrobe.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18I wonder what she'll be dressed as today.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- Ahoy, there, sailor.- Hello.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23- Is this a sailory outfit?- Um...
0:16:23 > 0:16:27- There's actually little bunnies on it.- A bunny girl outfit, yeah.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- It's a Paul Daniels outfit. - It's magic.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34So, when you go out, you dress for attention, I'm guessing?
0:16:34 > 0:16:38No, actually. I would say I dress more what I want to wear
0:16:38 > 0:16:41and it's not my fault that people give me attention.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- Like, the hair is quite wide. - And big, yeah.
0:16:44 > 0:16:50My hair pretty much is influenced by David Bowie from Labyrinth.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Never had that answer before.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55If you're so happy with the look that you have
0:16:55 > 0:16:58and you enjoy it so much,
0:16:58 > 0:17:01why on earth are you coming in to get berated by POD?
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Because I would like to see what I would look like as a natural beauty.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Do you think the natural look is the one thing you haven't experimented with yet?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Yeah, it's been a long time
0:17:10 > 0:17:14since I wasn't wearing something a little bit odd.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Good luck, Adele, POD awaits.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19I cannot wait.
0:17:25 > 0:17:30Hi, I'm POD, the Personal Overhaul Device. Who are you?
0:17:30 > 0:17:34- I'm Adele from Derby, hello, POD. - Adele?- Yes, POD.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Why are you dressed like a scary, synchronised swimmer?
0:17:38 > 0:17:42I like my hot pants and my little crop tops.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- So you're not a synchronised swimmer? - No, I'm not.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Because it looks like you've drowned your sense of style.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52I don't think so. I'm quite happy with my style.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54I think it's quirky and fun, POD.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57So you fancy yourself as a fancy dresser, then?
0:17:57 > 0:18:00I would wear fancy dress every day if I could.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03If you had to dress as a celeb, who would it be?
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- I would probably do Lady Gaga. - With a meat dress?
0:18:06 > 0:18:08No, I wouldn't wear a meat dress, POD.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Because there's a kebab shop around the corner.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14You could slip into a slinky, little shish number.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16- would you like that, pod? - Absolutely not.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17ADELE LAUGHS
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Adele, I asked the public would you want to snog,
0:18:20 > 0:18:22marry or avoid this girl?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24What do you think they said?
0:18:24 > 0:18:28- Oh, I'd like to say snog.- Incorrect. Are you ready to hear what they said?
0:18:28 > 0:18:32I'm very ready for it, baby, give it me.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35I would avoid her because I think she looks quite intimidating.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37She'd probably break me.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40I hear that on a regular basis.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43So, that's quite funny, OK.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46I'd probably avoid, she looks a bit trampy.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49SHE LAUGHS
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Oh, OK, that's not so good.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Avoid her because she looks a bit like a dominatrix.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58It's not really my vibe.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01A dominatrix. Well, I do have a friend that's a dominatrix,
0:19:01 > 0:19:04but it's not something I've ever done.
0:19:04 > 0:19:09In fact, 100% of the public, every single person we asked,
0:19:09 > 0:19:11said that they'd avoid you.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Oh, that's fantastic.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Adele, POD computers that you are a fake,
0:19:16 > 0:19:19fancy dressed fright for sore eyes, and you need:
0:19:23 > 0:19:27I think you're a prudish, over-opinionated Dalek.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- SHE LAUGHS:- So, we're equal, right?
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Not quite, Adele, because only one of us
0:19:33 > 0:19:36is about to embark on a de-faking make-under.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39It's time to run the deep cleanse.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41# That's why the Lady is a Tramp. #
0:19:41 > 0:19:43ADELE LAUGHS
0:19:43 > 0:19:45They're a right pair of clod hoppers.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49- They're good for trampling on men with.- As long as it's not computers.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52# It's ermine and pearls...
0:19:52 > 0:19:55# Don't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls... #
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- How's that?- Much better.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Get it all off.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06POD can see that underneath you've got lovely, fresh skin.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Thank you very much, POD.
0:20:08 > 0:20:14Run the make under in three, two, one.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Oh, my God.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25I've never seen myself look like this, at all.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27It's quite a shock.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30How does it feel to see yourself as a natural beauty?
0:20:30 > 0:20:32I look like a librarian.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34That's novel!
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Oh, POD, you're fantastic.
0:20:37 > 0:20:42I do love the skirt, actually. I'd never wear pink, ever.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45You are indeed pretty in pink, Adele.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Shall we see what the great British public thinks about your new look?
0:20:47 > 0:20:52Oh, God, go for it.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55I would probably marry this girl cos she looks quite intelligent
0:20:55 > 0:20:57and quite classy, to be honest.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58OK, that's good. Thank you.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01I would definitely marry that girl,
0:21:01 > 0:21:02she looks sophisticated and classy.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05She's the type of girl you could take out for a meal
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- and your friends would be impressed. - ADELE LAUGHS
0:21:08 > 0:21:09OK.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13- I'd snog that girl because she is attractive. - HE LAUGHS
0:21:13 > 0:21:16OK, that's good.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Previously, 100% of the public said they'd avoid you.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Now 60% of the public want to snog you
0:21:22 > 0:21:25and the other 40% wants to marry you.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27No way!
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Really? Oh, God.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Would you please promise POD to give your new look a chance?
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Yes, POD, it would be interesting to see
0:21:35 > 0:21:38what people think about my new look.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Thank you for coming to see POD, Adele.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45I hope you'll keep some of my "podifications" even if you do reach for the bleach.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48I've always wanted to know what I look like as a brunette,
0:21:48 > 0:21:49so I'm glad I had it done.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Goodbye, Adele.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52Bye.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01I do feel pretty scared about going to meet Nina.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03I don't think she'll like it.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06She'll say she likes it for my sake, so I don't cry.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09I can't wait to see her now, to see what she looks like.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13I think it'll be a big shock to her, but she will like it in the end.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17And there's always a dye in a bottle if she doesn't like it.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Oh, my God!
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Wow! You look completely different.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31Do you like it?
0:22:31 > 0:22:35- No.- No, you don't like the outfit? Is it a complete shock to you?
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40It definitely looks a very dramatic change. Although it is different,
0:22:40 > 0:22:42it's nice to see her looking different.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43Do I look older?
0:22:43 > 0:22:46You do look a bit older. It does look nice.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49- I hate the word "nice!" - THEY LAUGH
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Unfortunately, POD, I do think you failed on this occasion.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55I knew you had your work cut out and I think you have failed.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59My message to POD would be you most certainly haven't won this one,
0:22:59 > 0:23:01and this is what I think of this!
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Oh, yeah! Big hair DEFINITELY wins.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Earlier, we met insurance broker Kiya,
0:23:11 > 0:23:15who was spending a premium on all of her fakery.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17But has she kept her more natural make-under?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20- Kind of!- Sort of!
0:23:20 > 0:23:24- KIYA LAUGHS - A bit like that. Tell me what's different about you.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27What's different is I've not got any fake nails on, so that's a start.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29My hair has gone down dramatically.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33I've just got a couple of extensions in at the moment, and I'm all covered up.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36That's progress, but...
0:23:36 > 0:23:39the eyelashes are STILL pretty intense.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42I'm just addicted to them. I can't help it!
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Compared to me, I think this is quite natural.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47But you're making progress by cutting down.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51I've got one pack of eyelashes on now instead of two-and-a-half or three packs.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- And do you think this is something you're going to keep up? - Yeah, definitely.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56I do think littler hair has a more professional look.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59So how does the boyfriend feel now he's been put out of a job
0:23:59 > 0:24:01with the hair-straightening?
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Oh, I think he does like it now, but yes, he is out of a job, definitely.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06So, Kiya, do you have a final message for POD?
0:24:06 > 0:24:10Thank you for my make-under, POD. I really enjoyed it.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13I did think that I did look naturally pretty,
0:24:13 > 0:24:15but I did have to sneak a couple of my eyelashes back on.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17But, overall, thank you, and good job.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20There's so many eyes still!
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- Take those two off - come on!- No! - THEY GIGGLE
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Our Essex expedition is almost over,
0:24:32 > 0:24:36but there's still time for a few more punters to pitch up to POD.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38What word best describes you?
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Hot.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Are Essex women the best looking?
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Definitely, cos look at us! Woo-woo!
0:24:45 > 0:24:47BOTH: Hi, POD!
0:24:47 > 0:24:51We are tanned, but I wouldn't say we're very orange.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55POD has been learning the lingo, and you're 'avin a giraffe!
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Hi, POD!
0:24:57 > 0:25:00An Essex Oompa-Loompa. Enter.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01Oh, thanks!
0:25:01 > 0:25:04You look like you've had a bit of work done.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06I have had done my boobs...
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- SIREN BLARES - ..my hair is hair extensions...
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- SIREN REPEATS - ..eyelash extensions...
0:25:12 > 0:25:14..HD 'brows...
0:25:14 > 0:25:16teeth whitening...
0:25:16 > 0:25:17fake nails...
0:25:17 > 0:25:20fake tan.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21POD computes that is a list of shame.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22Who are YOU?
0:25:22 > 0:25:26Collagen Westwood Botoxina Versace.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Earlier, we met Adele,
0:25:33 > 0:25:36who told me that her style icon was David Bowie in the film Labyrinth.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40So, has she kept her make-under, or gone back to a fantasy look?
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Fantasy!
0:25:43 > 0:25:46- Yeah, I'd say so. - Kind of Katy Perry.- Um...
0:25:46 > 0:25:48- Rihanna?- Maybe.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49What happened?!
0:25:49 > 0:25:52- I absolutely hated it.- You hated your make-under?- I did, yes.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Why?!
0:25:54 > 0:25:56- It's just not me.- What did you hate?
0:25:56 > 0:25:58My hair, the clothes...
0:25:58 > 0:26:00I just thought I looked dreadful.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04So, I thought I'd go the other way and go even more mad.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Stick two fingers up at POD, basically,
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- that's what you've done. - Yes.- I do love the red look.
0:26:09 > 0:26:10Thank you.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- I like the way that you've matched your hair to your bra.- Thank you.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15- Which is quite clever. - THEY LAUGH
0:26:15 > 0:26:16What did your friends think then?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19They all hated it as well.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Nina was a bit speechless. She didn't know what to say.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24So have you learnt anything good from POD?
0:26:24 > 0:26:28Erm, I'd say the make-up was a good experience.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30- So we've got one good positive out of it?- Yeah.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32I liked the natural look.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34So, Adele, have you got a final message for POD?
0:26:34 > 0:26:38I have. POD, I know you're going to hate my hair, but do you know what?
0:26:38 > 0:26:39I don't care!
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- You've been told. - THEY LAUGH
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Hiya, POD!
0:26:46 > 0:26:49- Ah, there you are, Ellie. Come on in.- Thank you!
0:26:51 > 0:26:55Lips back to normal - Essex DONE, I think, POD.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Yes, well done, Ellie. That looks much better.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01It did look like you were sucking on a doughnut.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04It looked awful! I'm so glad to have got rid of it.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07So what do you think about the idea that Essex is addicted to cosmetic surgery?
0:27:07 > 0:27:10I don't think that is entirely true.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13I think there's a few people who have had a bit of work done,
0:27:13 > 0:27:15but no more than anywhere else in the UK, to be honest.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Defending Essex to the last, hey, Ellie?
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- It's my sisters and my brothers. - POD's not satisfied.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25In fact, I want to go and find some more stories about cosmetic surgery in Essex.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29We are done! My lips said it all, I think, thank you very much.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31You can POD off!
