First Broadcast: 7.30PM Fri 28 August 2009

Essex girl Rebecca Arnold is 28, single and broke, and has never had a long-term relationship. She sets out to find a man, and a rich one at that, her mission accompanied by frank and humorous musical interludes.

Rebecca transforms herself from tomboy to glamour puss as she hits an elite nightclub where men lure in eager women with champagne and fireworks; she meets up with a sugar daddy old enough to be her father; and she signs up to one of the world's most exclusive dating agencies, with fees to match, who set her up with a tall, dark, handsome stranger who whisks her off to Cannes in a helicopter.

Amidst all the glitz and glamour, Rebecca soon discovers that a rich man comes with his compromises, and this modern day Cinderella is forced to question how far she'll have to go to snare her very own Prince Charming.
