Accrington teenagers star in BBC Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents show

A GROUP of East Lancashire teenagers were shocked to hear their first holiday away from home was being viewed in detail by their parents.

BBC Three’s new series of Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents airs tonight featuring four Accrington youngsters celebrating their first taste of freedom.

The trip to Magaluf saw the TV crew convince the group they would get a free holiday in return for some fun footage of young people on holiday.

What the group didn’t know was that their parents had come along too — and were watching every detail of their children’s holidays.

Accrington and Rossendale College students Liam Gaskin, 19, and Jemma Chadwick, 20, decided to plan the holiday to celebrate the end of their Tourism and Leisure studies this summer.

Together with friends Elle Outerside, 18 and Kandis Barrat, 19, they headed to the Majorcan resort.

Liam, who attended Mount Carmel High School with lifelong friends Jemma and Elle, said: “We knew there were going to be cameras around but it was a complete shock to us to see our parents had been watching everything.

“I won’t ruin the surprise but it was very, very embarrassing. Basically we all just wanted to run away.

“We did have a great holiday, though, and it was just a learning experience.”

Previous series of Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents have taken place in some of the world’s liveliest resorts.

It was the top unscripted show of 2012 and was also the most requested show on BBC’s iPlayer catch-up service.

The format sees people in their late teens and early twenties go on their first holiday abroad to various locations under the belief that they are getting away from their parents. However, their parents are also sent to the holiday destination and secretly watch footage of their children on video screens, and also often spy in their hotel rooms and at nightclub locations.

The parents then reveal themselves on the last night of the holiday to the dismay of the young holidaymakers.

The Magaluf episode is on tonight at 9pm on BBC Three.

What sort of parent wants to spy on a late teenager on holiday? These kids are old enough to consent to sexual activity, vote, die for the country, This is a gross invasion of their privacy. It seems a little more than creepy to me. It is also scraping the barrel of voyeuristic entertainment. Perhaps it is just plain old sick.

They're doing a spin off series where the cameras follow Blackburn fans around while they spy on horses.

Yes, and pay instead to be sold to while the programmes you want to watch are interrupted, often for longer than the programmes themselves run for. You do understand you pay to watch TV one way or another, don't you?

If all anodyne adverts were abolished, I'd happily pay £1,000 for the licence (and save £2,000 by not having to pay the mark-up on the items no longer advertised).

Why should the bbc, using Capita under the name tv licensing, harrass, intimidate and pester people for money.If me or you set up a company, we wouldn't be allowed to do it, it would be called a extortion racket and we would quite rightly be jailed for it.People should stop funding the bbc who pump out a combination of mind numbing **** and establishment propaganda if your happy with paying the bbc extortion racket Chris P Bacon, that is your choice but don't expect me to be handing money to the british brainwashing corporation

If you don't watch TV, why did this story attract your attention? And I assume you listen to the radio? You need a licence for that and as it keeps the cancer of adverts out of our head-space, I'm all for it.

As for brain-washing, the gurus who run the multi-national conglomerates advertising their wares employ psychologists to maximise the impact of their commercials; insidious brain-washing right there. And YOU are paying for it every time you pull your wallet out of your pocket. And that's whether you watch the TV or not; either way, they've found the key to making you pay for their commercials.
