Nicky Hambleton-Jones is up there with Gillian McKeith. She is evil incarnate. We’ve had the second coming of Lucifer, and no-one has even noticed. In fact, this particular version of Beelzebub has been sly enough to land a TV Show. Hambleton-Jones is in fact 3000 years old, but with her hoard of henchmen, she passes of as a taut skinned forty-something. It’s all very clever and devious.

Anyway, her show – 10 Years Younger (Channel 4, 8pm, Wednesday)- is back and she’s back to telling people that they look considerably more ugly than she. This time, the unsuspecting victim is poor old Pandora Ankers (there’s a name you don’t hear every day) who is a 52-year-old Leicestershire divorcee. Can a chemical peel or two help her find Mr Right?

In fairness to Ms. Ankers, her face hung from her skull like ham nailed to a deflated party balloon… listen, if she didn’t want judging, 10 Years Younger isn’t the show to go on… I didn’t stand her in a street to get people to point at her and say that she looked ugly and old. Basically, Pandora had no teeth. I’m not sure how she managed to get to that point, but I’m guessing she didn’t wake up one morning to the sound of a tooth fairy hauling half of her gob down the stairs. Naturally, someone with no teeth has no shape to their face. It sinks because… well, there is nothing to hold the cheeks up is there?

So what do you do with a toothless lady? Give her some teeth? Of course! So Nicky and pals cart Pandora off to get some teeth put in. This is fine and dandy. It’s a bit grim to watch at home, but by and large, everything is cool here. What starts to rile however is when they continue with their procedures. Personally, I would have given Pandora new teeth and left it at that. That alone would have taken 10 years off her. This is where the evil comes in.

Shows like this (good ones that work at least) build up people’s self esteem mentally before taking any drastic action. So, a bit of counselling to say "Yeah! You’re a cool person!" Not 10 Years Younger. This programme says ‘well, no actually, it’s hardly surprising you can’t get a fella looking like that. Come with us and we’ll turn you into a drone…‘ It’s funny that no-one has picked up on the fact that this show has one answer for a myriad of problems. Every person who signs up gets the same treatment; Chemical peel, teeth hammered out, hair-cut, new clothes, eye bag removal. It’s sad viewing that tells the viewer that, regardless of what type of person you are, you can become a better one by following those procedures. Can’t afford it? Then you better getting begging to Nicky for some help. After all this, did Pandora Ankers find Mr Right? Well we don’t know because Nicky doesn’t care. The end. [Mof Gimmers]
