What Do you watch on TV that’s a guilty pleasure?
Mine has to be gruesome things, such as Toe nail removals, pimple popping, extreme hoarders and crime scene cleaners

Oh yes there’s something supremely satisfying about pimple popping! Dr Pimple Popper is one of my guilty pleasures along with Escape To Country , I only like watching that to nose about in other people’s houses! I used like How Clean Is Your House too!

Ah, I’m a sucker for true crime as well. I’m fascinated by murders, psychopaths and such like

Definitely! I like reading about them too! I read one about Fred and Rose West, i had to keep going back and re-reading sentences because their depravity was so much more than the news revealed.
Personally i like a lot of quiz shows, cooking shows, property shows and antique/upcycling shows (including the repair ones and stuff like escape to the chateau). I’ve watched a lot of crime stuff too like Criminal Minds

@WillC I never thought of reading the books. Didn’t think the West’s could’ve got more deprived

With stuff like that there’s always details deemed too much for the general public/media so they always omit certain bits or tone down others (with the books, since you’ve specifically found them there’s a lot more leeway on what you can handle and therefore the book include)

Not many of these I’d class as guilty pleasures. Some seriously good stuff in the list so far. Let me take it up a notch. Here’s a parent Of a toddler representing. My current guilty pleasures are…
Molly And Mack, and Hey Duggee.
Thank you and goodnight.
Rupaul’s Drag Race is a big guilty pleasure for me, it has a lot of issues and I know the reality tv format isn’t honest, but I still very much enjoy watching it
I support my local drag scene too, I think it’s so important to do so

Nothing wrong with that, at least you have a toddler, i have no excuse . I’ve only stopped watching CBBC constantly relatively recently (and that wasn’t because of age, that was just because they stopped showing the shows i liked). There are a few other programs designed for kids i really like such as Miraculous and Phineas+Ferb. A lot younger aimed but i also occasionally watch Kerwhiz too
