I am loving Channel 4 at the minute. Hollyoaks, Mary Portas and Jamie Oliver all in one place makes me a very happy bunny indeed.
However, they totally surpassed my expectations last night, with what was arguably the best show ever created- Big Fat Gypsy Weddings.
OMG it was compulsive viewing from start to finish and I am gutted I missed the one off show last year, because I feel somewhat behind the times!
Thankfully, I think I've got the jist- gypsy girls know what they want from a very young age and despite the very revealing clothes they wear, they're actually very old fashioned, traditional and have the morals of a saint...
Ok, maybe not a saint, but it's hard not to like them. The enormous wedding and Communion dresses that they wear alone make them very interesting to watch.
17-year-old Josie's was a douzy- weighing five stone and slit up the front, it wasn't exactly elegant or classy, but she was certainly the centre of attention!
Same with eight-year-old Margarita, whose holy Communion dress weighed twice her own body weight and was covered with 5,000 crystals.
Despite taking Communion with all the other school children, her 'princess' dress certainly stood out- I think the other giggling girls were merely jealous that their parents hadn't gone all out.
Madness, but utterly compelling- this is a show which will divide a lot of people.
Personally with a wedding coming up myself, I'll be tuning in purely for inspirational purposes... then again, I'm not sure I could quite pull off seven yards of puffball!
