0:00:03 > 0:00:04I'm Ellie Taylor.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06Snog Marry Avoid is back on the road
0:00:06 > 0:00:09and POD is fighting the fakery of Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11I'm Joanna.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13POD: Joanna Fake-Tanner?
0:00:13 > 0:00:16If you can't leave the house without piling on the fake tan
0:00:16 > 0:00:21and peeling off your clothes, then you need to get into POD, pronto.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Make-under machine, POD, is the queen of mean,
0:00:23 > 0:00:24and she's cattier than ever.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Why do you want to look so cheap and tacky?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29How very dare you!
0:00:29 > 0:00:31From Birmingham to Bromley, Notting Hill to Essex,
0:00:31 > 0:00:35POD will be taking Britain's biggest fakers to task.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37POD computes you would make a good 18th-century serving wench.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Bitch!
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Families across Britain have had enough of the fakery
0:00:42 > 0:00:44that's stolen their sons and daughters,
0:00:44 > 0:00:46their brothers and sisters.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48THEY CHANT Down with fakery!
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Down with fakery!
0:00:51 > 0:00:54It covers up all her natural beauty, in many ways.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Let the battle against fakery commence.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58This is Snog Marry Avoid?
0:01:09 > 0:01:13This week, we've come to the home of the sisterhood of fakery.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16# Hallelujah! Hallelujah! #
0:01:16 > 0:01:20If you see people praying for oranger skin,
0:01:20 > 0:01:24or shopping for the tightest, skimpiest outfits,
0:01:24 > 0:01:28and POD on the verge of bursting a POD vessel,
0:01:28 > 0:01:30you know we must be in Essex.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31Shut up!
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Hi, POD!
0:01:33 > 0:01:35We're in my homeland of Essex today.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38In the spiritual homeland of fakery, you mean!
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Do you ever give it a rest?
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Definitely not. The list of physical abominations here is endless.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Orange tans, big boobs, vajazzles.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Not all of us are like that, clearly!
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Ellie, there'll be no vajazzling on my watch!
0:01:53 > 0:01:55I've never had a vajazzle! I'm not going to get a vajazzle!
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Ellie! I've got my lenses on you!
0:01:57 > 0:01:59OK, OK! Right, I'll go out there
0:01:59 > 0:02:03and sort out all of the fakery in Essex. 100%.
0:02:03 > 0:02:08Coming up on tonight's show, we take on a feisty slap addict...
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- I couldn't give a- (BLEEP) - what people think.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13..I unleash my inner Essex girl...
0:02:13 > 0:02:14- Shut up!- Shut up!
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- No, shut up, though. - No, you shut up.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17No, seriously, shut up.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19..POD lands herself in double trouble...
0:02:19 > 0:02:22SHE GIGGLES Easy, Sophie!
0:02:22 > 0:02:24..and fakery goes feral.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26She is the queen of canine couture.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28DOG WHINES
0:02:32 > 0:02:33When it comes to fakery,
0:02:33 > 0:02:38Essex is Britain's undisputable artificial jewel in the crown.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41You've got those who can't be fake enough.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43A bit of bling here, a bit of bling here,
0:02:43 > 0:02:44and a bit of bling here.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45What more could you want?
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Others who aspire to be fake.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49If I had the money, I'd probably get my teeth done, my lips,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52my boobs, my hair...I do love it!
0:02:52 > 0:02:53Fakers in denial...
0:02:53 > 0:02:55It's not really fake.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56It's just making an effort.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Adding to your looks.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00..and some who will fake their way to the dark side.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Are you Captain Jack Sorrow?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- SHE GIGGLES - You could say that!
0:03:05 > 0:03:08POD computes that you should rethink the whole Essex look.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Oh, POD! I thought you'd like it.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- Why?!- Erm...
0:03:12 > 0:03:15You two aren't examples of fakery, are you?
0:03:15 > 0:03:16No, not really.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18- Not really?- Not at all.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- What do you do?- I work in retail.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- Do you sell coffins?- No!
0:03:23 > 0:03:26I think that Essex girls are probably the fakest of them all.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28- So nothing like you two, then?- No!
0:03:28 > 0:03:31There's nothing cool about looking like a bag of Wotsits.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33They sound a bit desperate to POD.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Definitely. POD is right.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36Vicky, I like you.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39I like you too, POD.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Now for Liberty, who's freed herself
0:03:41 > 0:03:45from the conventions of style and fashion, but not in a good way.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Hi, guys. I'm Liberty.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Number one, please judge me.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Number two, please hate me.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Because, number three, I love it.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56SHE BLOWS KISSES
0:03:56 > 0:03:58The main factors in my look, firstly,
0:03:58 > 0:04:00it's got to be about make-up.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Perfect!
0:04:02 > 0:04:03Big hair.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06I've been growing my hair since I was 12.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Big nails, big tan.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Tan, times five coats.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Once, she went out and she had fake tan just to her knees.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15THEY GIGGLE
0:04:15 > 0:04:18What gives me the drive and the urge to do this
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- is that I couldn't give a - (BLEEP)- what people think.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24If I walk down the street and someone dirty looks me,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26that urges me on to do more.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28I'm like, "Yes! Feed it. Come on, feed it."
0:04:29 > 0:04:31She's a really pretty girl, and I've always said to her,
0:04:31 > 0:04:33"You're wearing far too much make-up."
0:04:33 > 0:04:37When I was little, I was brought up to be very, very girlie.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Like, pristine, clean.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44So I took that clean, girlie prettiness and amplified it.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Beau is quite literally the love of my life.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49We shouldn't do that, should we? But we do.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Beau is definitely coming into POD with me.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54POD better not be nasty to Beau, though.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56So today, I'm going into POD,
0:04:56 > 0:05:00because people like my mum would really love me...long time.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04She might cry.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07POD, I would like my daughter back in the way she looks her best,
0:05:07 > 0:05:08which is natural.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11POD, please, just one thing.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Bite me!
0:05:13 > 0:05:16I'm meeting Liberty here to go for a walk in the park,
0:05:16 > 0:05:19and apparently, she's bringing her dog, so I'm totally excited.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23I bet she's got, like, a big woolly fleece on, massive wellies.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24I just hope I'm not overdressed.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27Oh, apparently not.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31THEY BABY TALK TO DOG
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- So pretty!- What's his little name?
0:05:33 > 0:05:37- I've got so many dog voices for him, it's incredible.- I'm going to stop, cos I want to punch myself.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42- So how would you describe your look? - Girlie, gone a little bit psycho.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44So you're quite matchy-matchy with how you dress.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Matchy-matchy, but trashy-trashy and printy-printy.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- You're quite into designer brands, right?- Yeah.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51When I see, like, a new bag somewhere,
0:05:51 > 0:05:52nice, designer, expensive bag,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55I always have to go for the tackier version of it.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58So people are like, "Is that fake? Wait a minute. No, it's not fake."
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- Why are you coming to see POD? - My mum does a lot for me.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Like, a LOT for me, and I feel I owe her this.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06I've got a quiz for you.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Do you prefer Manolo Blahnik heels, or high-street pumps?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Manolo Blahnik. - Posh under-eye reflective concealer,
0:06:13 > 0:06:16or a bit of foundation from the lid of someone else's bottle?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Don't make me sick in my mouth! I'm going to have the concealer.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Straight away!
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Armani glasses, darling, or big, NHS massive ones?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- With, like, huge rims?- Yeah.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Oh, I love a bit of that! No, Armani.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31You really are a designer lover.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34I think we need to show you how high street can be cool.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Are you ready to come and see POD?
0:06:36 > 0:06:37- Ready.- Let's go.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Come on, then, missus.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40Come on, baby.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- Are you ready? - I couldn't be readier.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46POD, are you ready for me?
0:06:46 > 0:06:50POD BLEEPS
0:06:51 > 0:06:53That is next level bright! Whoa!
0:06:53 > 0:06:56I am POD, the Personal Overhaul Device.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57Who are you?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00I am Liberty, and this is Beau.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02# I want to break free... #
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Why have you put a boy dog in a polka-dot dress?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07He wants me to put him in dresses every day of his life.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09You do realise that, as you're both here,
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- I'll make-under the pair of you? - Beau would like that.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13He'd benefit from that. I'm doing it for him.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16POD will need to focus on one of you at a time.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- So, for now, goodbye, Beau.- Bye!
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Now, Liberty, about this look.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Did you get it from the £1 shop?
0:07:24 > 0:07:26I did most definitely not! That is an in-sult!
0:07:26 > 0:07:28And how long does it take to look this awful?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31The face in itself takes...
0:07:31 > 0:07:33an hour and 45?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- An hour and 45 minutes?- Mmm.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- To look like you've just head-butted a make-up case?- Yeah.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Is that a duck's nest on your head?
0:07:40 > 0:07:42It could be, yeah.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Please tell POD why you have come for a make-under.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Because I'm really intrigued to see what POD can actually do.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53OK, let's run public analysis.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I asked members of the public if they wanted to snog, marry or avoid you.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58What you think they said?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01I'd say, well, I know, they're going to say avoid,
0:08:01 > 0:08:02but it doesn't bother me.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I'd probably avoid her, because she looks like a witch from the '80s.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I don't look like a witch!
0:08:07 > 0:08:10I would avoid this girl, because she's wearing way to much make-up.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Well, that person...
0:08:12 > 0:08:13can get over it.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16I would avoid her, because it's far too loud, what she's wearing,
0:08:16 > 0:08:17and her hair is boufy.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Boufy's better than bushy. I'm glad they didn't say bushy.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22In fact, 10% of the public
0:08:22 > 0:08:24said they'd want to snog you.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Aw, bless 'em!
0:08:25 > 0:08:27But 90% said they'd want to avoid you.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28Yeah, OK.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32POD computes that you are an over-the-top market stall madam,
0:08:32 > 0:08:33who's splattered in slap.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35You need my...
0:08:38 > 0:08:40How do you feel about POD's verdict?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Market stall? Really? Really?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- Liberty!- Let me be!
0:08:44 > 0:08:46It's time to run the deep cleanse.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Why?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53First of all, take off those ridiculous shoes.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Stripper shoes!
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- Get rid of them!- They're gone.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Now, please take off all of your accessories.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Ow! Why do I wear so much jewellery?
0:09:02 > 0:09:04That's a very good question!
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Now, let's have that business off your head.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09OK, this might take a little while.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Oh, this is hardcore!
0:09:13 > 0:09:15No more glitter, no more black.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17So upsetting.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18POD is completely amazed
0:09:18 > 0:09:20at how beautiful you are under all that make up.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22I'm glad you're amazed, because I'm definitely not.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25It's time to run the make-under.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27In three, two, one!
0:09:35 > 0:09:36Oh, my God!
0:09:36 > 0:09:39# Oh, if you could see me now... #
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Weirdly, I kind of enjoy it.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47I'd love a bit more mascara, but I love the hair.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- You look beautiful, don't you? - Oh, thank you!
0:09:50 > 0:09:52How do you feel in this look?
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Yeah, I do like it.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56My boobs look a bit bigger.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Did POD give me a boob job?
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- No, Liberty, I did not!- Aw!
0:10:00 > 0:10:04Now, previously, I asked the public would they snog, marry or avoid you.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06What did they say?
0:10:06 > 0:10:07Avoid, fine!
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- And what you think they say now? - Marry!
0:10:10 > 0:10:13I would snog her, because she has got a great smile and great hair.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Aw!
0:10:15 > 0:10:18I'd probably snog her. She's really stylish and natural looking.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I'm loving the compliments, POD!
0:10:20 > 0:10:21I would snog her.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23She looks amazing. She glows.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27She looks presentable. She's nice.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28Oh, I AM nice! I AM nice.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33- Actually, 40% of the public do indeed want to marry you.- What?
0:10:33 > 0:10:34The rest want to snog you.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Oh, good, OK. At least they want to do something to me.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Before you go, there's one more thing.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Close your eyes.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Open your eyes!
0:10:42 > 0:10:44I've got my baby back!
0:10:44 > 0:10:46And he's had a make-under too!
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Look at him! He's stunning!
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Now, are you ready to strut your stuff
0:10:50 > 0:10:54- as a natural beauty on the catwalk? - I am, indeed.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Initiating PODWalk.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Liberty's about to tread the runway at POD's specially created
0:11:00 > 0:11:05Essex catwalk. But how confident is she feeling before the big moment?
0:11:05 > 0:11:06I can't wait to see what they think.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Particularly Mum. I think she'll love it. Definitely.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:11:30 > 0:11:32You look fantastic! Do you like it?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- I love the outfit, yeah.- Wow!
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I love the hair, would love some more make-up,
0:11:36 > 0:11:38but otherwise, I love it.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39What do you think?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Erm, to be absolutely honest,
0:11:41 > 0:11:43I think there's a happy medium
0:11:43 > 0:11:46between how she was when you first saw her and this.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48- Ooh, feisty!- Oh, no,
0:11:48 > 0:11:51I like the mid-route between these two.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53But look how nice the outfit is!
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Well, it looks kind of like a school thing.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58She's cross with me.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- No, I'm not.- OK, that's fine. - She is! She definitely is!
0:12:01 > 0:12:03No, I really am, yeah.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Not what I expected at all.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07I don't know what I expected.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- What do you think?- I love it, yeah.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11I can't wait to borrow the outfit. I really like it.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16POD computes that Liberty has gone
0:12:16 > 0:12:18from boufy catastrophe to pretty young thing.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Once I was into it, I loved it, and I could have carried on a couple more times.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24She could look prettier with a little bit more make-up.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Not fake tan.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29And possibly not so buttoned-up in the outfit.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31She was honest, that's all I can say. So, yeah.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34I don't think she's going to stop dressing the dog up.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Neither do I.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38On the whole, the reaction was really, really good.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40And obviously, that gives me a little boost.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Essex babes are famed for wearing fakery like a second skin,
0:12:51 > 0:12:53and think nothing of going totes over the top.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57You've got bleached-blonde hair, fake eyelashes AND orange skin.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59It's not orange, though. It's brown.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Why do you want to look so cheap and tacky?
0:13:02 > 0:13:03How very dare you!
0:13:03 > 0:13:04Orange!
0:13:04 > 0:13:06It's brown, definitely brown.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07Definitely orange.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Definitely brown, and makes your teeth look whiter.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12They obviously pull better when they look orange.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13Yes, but WHAT are they pulling?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15This level of fakery is unacceptable.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Shut up!
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Essex overload! Essex overload!
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Recalling Ellie!
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Hi, POD!
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Oh, thank heavens you're back! But I'm confused.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28You're an Essex girl, and you don't look ridiculously fake.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30There are some people who choose to dress like that.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32The rest of us just like to be well-groomed.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33Like a horse, you mean?
0:13:33 > 0:13:35No, not like a horse!
0:13:35 > 0:13:38In that case, please investigate this well-groomed Essex look, Ellie.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41OK, I'll add a sprinkling of an Essex stereotype.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Just a sprinkling.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- Ellie!- Tiny little bit of stereotype. Tiny.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- IN "ESSEX GIRL" VOICE - Seriously, though, do you fancy me?
0:13:52 > 0:13:53I think you look fit...
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Stop it, babe! Honey, oh, my God!
0:13:56 > 0:13:57..from the neck down.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Tell me why you love living in Essex.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Because it's fake.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07I would not go back to being sort of natural. I love my look.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08- Shut up.- Shut up.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10- No, shut up, though. - No, you shut up.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11I see a lot of fakery in Essex.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15You've got the blonde hair, like, bright blonde,
0:14:15 > 0:14:17white teeth.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18Fake tan.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20You're a bit...tangerine.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Fake eyelashes, fake nails, short skirts.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26- Shut up.- Shut up.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Does the farmer want a wife like this?
0:14:28 > 0:14:29No, no, no!
0:14:29 > 0:14:31I was like, "Oh, my God, are you serious?"
0:14:31 > 0:14:33And he was like, "Yeah, I'm serious."
0:14:33 > 0:14:36And I was like, "Seriously, at the end of the day, 100%, I don't even believe you."
0:14:36 > 0:14:38- Shut up!- Shut up!
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Winner, in the arena!
0:14:41 > 0:14:43And he was like, "Wah-wah," giving me all the agg,
0:14:43 > 0:14:46and I'm like, "I don't even know what you're talking about."
0:14:46 > 0:14:48And he was like, "Well, yeah I'm not going to marry you."
0:14:48 > 0:14:51# You look reem! #
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Hi, POD, you're looking gorge!
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Oh, my God, Ellie! What have you done?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58I've just gone a little bit, little bit Essex.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Has this ridiculous look helped you find out
0:15:00 > 0:15:02why Essex girls love fakery?
0:15:02 > 0:15:05I found out that everyone thinks it's very glamorous,
0:15:05 > 0:15:08it's very sophisticated, very on-trend,
0:15:08 > 0:15:13and generally, Essex girls are doing it...perfectly.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Ellie, POD's heard enough.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Please revert to your natural beauty
0:15:17 > 0:15:19and take that silly thing off your head.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21All right then, bubs. I'll see you later. Bye!
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Now for Sophie, who's flying the flag
0:15:27 > 0:15:30for Essex glamour in Manchester.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Hiya, I'm Sophie.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35I'm 19, and I'm from Manchester, and I'm a part-time model.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40The things that are fake about me are my hair...
0:15:40 > 0:15:43I can't just have one set of hair extensions,
0:15:43 > 0:15:44because I don't like thin hair.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46..my nails...
0:15:46 > 0:15:48my lips...
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Perfect pout!
0:15:50 > 0:15:52..my bum...
0:15:52 > 0:15:54It's a foam bum!
0:15:54 > 0:15:55..my boobs...
0:15:55 > 0:15:57my tan...
0:15:57 > 0:16:00The colour I'm going for now is black!
0:16:00 > 0:16:02..my eyelashes...
0:16:02 > 0:16:06They don't really make eyelashes long enough or thick enough for me.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- ..everything! - SHE GIGGLES
0:16:10 > 0:16:13My mum was always, like, always quite glamorous.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Like, she got her boobs done, and as soon as I turned 18,
0:16:16 > 0:16:18I wanted my boobs done.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Like, look at everyone's proper staring at us!
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- BOYS JEER - They just want a bit of me!
0:16:23 > 0:16:26I think she's a bit, erm, OTT.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28She just needs to tone it down
0:16:28 > 0:16:29and just be natural.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33I love attention, and I'm not going to get attention
0:16:33 > 0:16:35if I go out looking like a plain Jane.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38It's party time, boy!
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Being made under, it'll be quite interesting.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Just to see if I can look pretty and natural.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Plain and interesting.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49But I don't think I will.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Under all that make-up,
0:16:51 > 0:16:53she is naturally pretty.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55POD, good luck changing me.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58I'm fit, I'm fake and I love it.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01I'm here to meet Sophie. We're going to get our nails done.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03But by the looks of her, she's got a bit confused.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05She hasn't got many clothes on.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07I think she thinks we're here to have another sunbed.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10So, tell me about these.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- What, my boobs?- Your boobs.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14I like to make the most of them,
0:17:14 > 0:17:16and obviously show them off.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Do all of your friends have fake boobs?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21I think a lot of people... most people do, nowadays.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- Have you checked that statistic?- No!
0:17:23 > 0:17:25No, I don't think that's true.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Is there are any particular kind of style
0:17:27 > 0:17:29that you're going for, the way that you dress?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Yeah, I do like the TOWIE look.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Like, but I think I'm more extreme than them.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Why are you coming for a make-under?
0:17:37 > 0:17:41I just think it'll be interesting, like, to have a make-under,
0:17:41 > 0:17:43and see if I benefit from it.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46What's your biggest fear about going to see POD?
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Probably my hair.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Because I've always bleached my hair, and I do not suit dark hair.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- Sophie, I've got a quiz for you.- OK.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57To work out how in love you are, truly, with the Essex style, OK?
0:17:57 > 0:17:58Yeah.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01So to these things I'm going to tell you,
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- you can either say it's reem or it's wrong.- OK.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- Fake sunshine tan.- Reem.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- Pale skin.- Wrong.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11- White stilettos.- Reem.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15- Vajazzle.- Reem.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- Have you had a vajazzle? - I have had a vajazzle!
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- Have you really had a vajazzle? - Yeah, I have, yes.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- What did you have on your vajazzly bits?- I had a star.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23- Aw!- Yeah.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26OK, from that, I can conclude...
0:18:26 > 0:18:29I think you are a bit of an Essex glamorous lover.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31I think we'll need to get you into POD, pronto.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33- Ready?- Yes. Let's go.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36All right, Sophie, in you get.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Hiya, POD.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44POD BLEEPS
0:18:45 > 0:18:48I am POD, the Personal Overhaul Device.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50- Who are you?- I'm Sophie.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Why are you dressed like a children's dolly?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55I'm a princess!
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Sophie, you're not really a princess, are you?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Yeah, I'm a real-life princess.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02I've got a little pink crown on.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Yes, I can see that. Well done.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- How much did your boobs cost?- £3,000.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- Each?- No, for two.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Why have you added so much fakery?
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Because it makes me look fit.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17People won't want to look at me for modelling and stuff
0:19:17 > 0:19:18if I look like a plain Jane.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- What do you model?- Lingerie.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22What do you REALLY model?
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- SHE GIGGLES - Topless.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27POD computes, if you keep adding plastic,
0:19:27 > 0:19:29you might end up looking like this.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31# Sisters, sisters... #
0:19:31 > 0:19:33SHE SQUEALS AND GIGGLES
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I hate to say it, but you look similar.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Oh, no!
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- Except, you're more orange than the doll.- I think it looks pretty.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44I just wish my waist was as thin as this.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Perhaps the two of you could go on a night out.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Easy, Sophie!
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Sophie, POD computes that you're having far too much fun.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Aw, where she gone?!
0:19:54 > 0:19:57What would you do if POD proved your natural beauty?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59No, I can't see it happening.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Why have you come to POD for a make-under?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03I think it's going to be interesting
0:20:03 > 0:20:06to see what I look like being "normal".
0:20:06 > 0:20:09I think it's time to run public analysis.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14I showed the public a picture of you as you are now,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17and asked would they snog, marry or avoid you.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18What do you think they said?
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Snog, obviously!
0:20:20 > 0:20:23I would avoid her, because she's trying way too hard,
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- and it's not working.- No!
0:20:26 > 0:20:30I'd avoid her, because she looks like a doll, and just too made-up.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Oh, that's nice!
0:20:32 > 0:20:34I would avoid her. She looks way too plastic.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Plastic is fantastic!
0:20:36 > 0:20:39In fact, 100% said they wanted to avoid you
0:20:39 > 0:20:41and get as far away from you as possible.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43They're absolutely lying!
0:20:43 > 0:20:45POD computes that you are
0:20:45 > 0:20:48an orange, peroxide, sequinned, plastic cataclysmic clone.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50And you need my...
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- OK, then.- Run the deep cleanse.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01Please remove those shoes.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04# I knew you were trouble when you walked in... #
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Aw, I'm not a princess no more!
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Sophie, you never WERE a princess!
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Oh, I love my hair extensions!
0:21:11 > 0:21:13That's a shame!
0:21:13 > 0:21:18Yeah, I've got three people's heads of hair in here.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Get rid of them immediately!
0:21:20 > 0:21:22I feel naked without my eyelashes.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23Well done.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27Hold up that wipe.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- Would you say that's a lot of make-up?- Not really.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31Oh, dear, Sophie!
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Let's just run the make-under.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35In three, two, one.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Oh, my God!
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Put your hands down, Sophie.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52I look so white!
0:21:52 > 0:21:55POD computes you look utterly stunning.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56No, I don't like it.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00- What is it that you don't like? - My hair is horrible.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02How do you feel about the colour, though?
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Yeah, I like the colour, but it's just really short.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Sophie, the last time I asked the public
0:22:06 > 0:22:09if they'd snog, marry or avoid you, what did they say?
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- Snog!- The truth, please, Sophie.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- Avoid.- And what do you think they say, having seen you now?
0:22:15 > 0:22:16Definitely avoid.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20I would snog her, because she is very naturally beautiful.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21I'm not.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24I would snog her, because she is a very good-looking girl.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Yeah, but I work better with loads of make-up and tan!
0:22:27 > 0:22:30I would marry her, because she looks very respectable,
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- and she's got a very cute face. - No way!
0:22:33 > 0:22:36In fact, 60% of the public want to snog you,
0:22:36 > 0:22:38and the 40% want to marry you.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40- That's a lie!- I'm not lying!
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Sophie, POD has this awful image of you going home
0:22:43 > 0:22:47- and diving into a bath full of fake tan.- Yeah, it sounds about right!
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Oh, Sophie!
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- What are you going to do on the catwalk?- Hide!
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Sophie's clearly unimpressed by her make-under.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Will she actually make it onto the PODWalk?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Everyone waits with bated breath.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Oh, my God!
0:23:24 > 0:23:26How are you feeling?
0:23:26 > 0:23:27I just hate the look.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28Do you, really?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30I look disgusting.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34- You do NOT look disgusting! - You don't.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Is there anything you like about it at all?
0:23:36 > 0:23:37I just feel like a little boy.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40You don't look like a little boy, my love.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41What do you reckon, Donna?
0:23:41 > 0:23:45I really like it. It's nice. Au naturale boy!
0:23:45 > 0:23:48POD computes that, despite Sophie's disappointment,
0:23:48 > 0:23:50her look has transformed her
0:23:50 > 0:23:52from drastic and plastic to stylish and chic.
0:23:52 > 0:23:57I didn't like it on the catwalk, because I didn't feel like myself.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00I just don't think she likes it at all. Her reaction.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04I don't think she likes it! I think she'll be going back to normal.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08And I am going to go back and literally
0:24:08 > 0:24:11smother myself in fake tan, put my biggest eyelashes on
0:24:11 > 0:24:14and the heaviest make-up ever.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16It's just going to make me ten times worse.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18But it's been a good experience.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Essex girls love blinging, vajazzling
0:24:27 > 0:24:28and glamming themselves up,
0:24:28 > 0:24:31but it's not just humans who are getting glossy manes.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Why did you put pink on your dogs?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43I'm from Essex, and he needs to have a little bit of bling on him.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45# What have I, what have I What have I done to deserve this? #
0:24:45 > 0:24:47What have you done to that poor dog?
0:24:47 > 0:24:49She is the queen of canine couture.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53- You look like a natural beauty.- I am!
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- Karen, what's that around your feet? - My pooch. My babycakes!
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Oh, Karen!
0:24:58 > 0:25:01I paint their toenails, I furjazzle them...
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Excuse me?!
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Furjazzle. It's the dog version of vajazzle.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06She loves to be pink.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09She gets all the attention and all the fuss,
0:25:09 > 0:25:12and as many cheesy bites as she...
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- SHE MOCK GASPS - ..as she can fit in.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17If you want to bling up the front as well as the back,
0:25:17 > 0:25:19you've got some nice hair extensions.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20It could be worse, she could be orange.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Like the rest of Essex.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25I reckon she's going to stop traffic.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27She might cause a few accidents!
0:25:27 > 0:25:29You have to make the most of yourself.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39Earlier on, POD transformed make-up mad Liberty
0:25:39 > 0:25:43and plastic princess Sophie into stunning natural beauties.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45But have they kept their looks?
0:25:47 > 0:25:51No! Kind of, a little bit.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- A little tiny bit. - What have you kept?
0:25:53 > 0:25:56A little bit less eye make-up. Like, not as dark in the day.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58The lairy stuff's back.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Yeah. Fur's back. Bigger height is back.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04So why have you mostly gone back?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06As much as I like what I was wearing,
0:26:06 > 0:26:10I really wasn't wearing make-up, and I felt I did look about two.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14It was a funny one, because your mum wasn't massively feeling it,
0:26:14 > 0:26:16and I've never had that before.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Mum's always like, "Ooh, it's amazing! Thank you!"
0:26:18 > 0:26:21- And she was like, "Mmm..." - That was the biggest shock for me,
0:26:21 > 0:26:23because I was like, "I'm doing this for my mum.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25"She's going to love it. She'll probably cry."
0:26:25 > 0:26:27But, like, it's my opinion that counts, really.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Like, if she'd have liked it, that would've been great.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32That would've been a bonus. Like, happy mum, happy days.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35But I would have still gone back to putting it on.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37What about you, Sophie? What have you kept?
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Erm, I've toned the hair down a bit.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42And I haven't got as much tan on.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- The extensions are in again.- Yeah.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Big time!
0:26:46 > 0:26:48So how long after you did the catwalk show
0:26:48 > 0:26:50did you go back to this look?
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Probably about 20 or 30 minutes.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Are you kidding me?!
0:26:55 > 0:26:58No, I'm being serious. I was just completely out of my comfort zone.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01I just did not feel right. It was not me at all.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Did you learn anything from the experience of going to see POD?
0:27:05 > 0:27:09Yeah, I learned that just, like, I suit being more fake.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12It proved, really, what I already knew!
0:27:12 > 0:27:14It was lovely to meet you both.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- Thank you very much for coming on the show.- Thank you.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Hiya, POD. That is Essex done.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26So it is, and I'm very pleased to say,
0:27:26 > 0:27:29not only did I make-under two people, but a dog as well.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30You made-under a dog?
0:27:30 > 0:27:34Yes, in fact, I'm considering moving into the world of canine make-unders.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Well, I suppose everyone needs to earn a few more dollars
0:27:37 > 0:27:38in these hard times.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40That said, though, the streets of Essex
0:27:40 > 0:27:42still seem to be covered in fake girls.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44So let's go out there and give it another go.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46If that's really how you want to spend your evening,
0:27:46 > 0:27:47then totes go for it, babe.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50I, however, am going out for dinner with some girlfriends,
0:27:50 > 0:27:53because it's pink wine o'clock. So you can POD off!
