37. Geordie Shore
As with many reality shows, British and American show concepts are interchanged between the two, hoping to find a strong audience between one or both of the two markets. ‘Geordie Shore’ is the British version of the hit MTV series ‘Jersey Shore’, which we’ve already listed here as one of the fakest shows in the world. The same applies to its British counterpart, which was caught in a social media storm in 2018 due to a trailer showcasing the birthday of one of the cast members. The problem? The trailer was released on the day of her actual birthday, meaning timelines did not match up and a fake birthday was filmed for the series. The cast member didn’t even try to deny that it was fake, replying to tweets confirming the scripted nature of the series.

38. Made in Chelsea
‘Made In Chelsea’ is a popular British reality show that follows some of the most affluent young adults in the Chelsea region as they navigate life and love among their circle of entitled acquaintances. As with many of these types of shows, the drama is totally staged. While the cast has gone through many changes over the years, one former star recalled getting calls in the morning of shooting letting him know where to be that day, what he was supposed to do, and how he should act. Another recalls dinner scenes being filmed at 7am, often involving producers spurring cast members on with leading questions, to try and get them to drag out their initial responses.
