My New Best Friend

Series 1

Series Summary Simon

Six competitors take a turn to try and convince their nearest and dearest that their new friendship - with a deeply troubling individual - is genuine. With £10,000 for anyone that can last the distance, the stakes are high.

Unfortunately for them, their so-called 'friend' is really an undercover actor whose sole aim is to irritate, infuriate and exasperate them into giving up - and giving the game away.

So, will the contestants grin and bear it as their nightmare house-guest meets their friends and family and turns the screw, or will they crack and confess all, just to get him to stop? And how will their friends, families and partners react to all the tears, tantrums and inappropriate touching?

Guaranteed to make you squirm (although not half as much as the contestants do), one brilliant performer inflicts six different but equally vile 'friends' on six participants.

No pain, no gain. Ten grand is a lot of cash. And if you want it, you're going to have to earn it...
