They're real.Since a spate of hoaxers got on the show about eight years ago, all the guests have been carefully vetted to make sure that that it's all 100% genuine freaks being put on telly for the public to gawp at.
ages ago someone told me they had been a guest on the trisha show and although they were real ( as opposed to being actors) the production team engineer the guests to make the show more dramatic.
they're sad, mad little scummers who should be traced by the government and kept away from decent society. giving these people exposure will only encourage them.
There was one of these programmes repeated on ITV2 a while back about chat show scandals.It featured a story about 3 flatmates 2 boys & a girl & they went on Trisha and basically made up some far fetched story which Trisha & her production crew at the time bought
Sadly i went out with some-one who was on this program before i met him... he turned out to be a complete loser so i think he deserves to go back on and be humiliated all over again!!
