This isn't pretty. In fact it's scandalous, and the primary show often gets part rerun on gogglebox. Trouble this.

Married at First Sight UK 'brides' say they were raped by onscreen husbands

Channel 4 was aware of one of the rape claims before broadcast, but the woman involved still featured in the show.

Absolutely terrifying! I had to climb a ladder last week to get a sign off a post, about ten foot up and nearly bottled it
Jon noakes, in slip ons, flares and an army jacket climbs Nelson’s column via ladders tied to a lighting rod

My legs!

Like the way he's trowelling off chunks of bird crap, no gloves and with a cig on the go so he's occasionally putting pigeon crap covered fingers to his mouth. All while sucking in that lovely lead fume filled air.

Well done the cameraman -that can't have been easy.

Just in from work and Royal Mail have delivered a ‘return to sender’ package. Refused in Portsmouth but returned to sender Tracked 48. My address but foreign name. My lad answered and said ‘what’s this rubbish’ but postie said it’s been returned and just dumped it. Tried Royal Mail site but no joy with tracking numbers and no way I’m scanning barcode. Carefully opened it, and, it’s a bag of sand by looks of it. Took a picture of postie off ring doorbell and searched house in Portsmouth on Google maps. Missus couldn’t give a toss, but I’ve turned into some paranoid sand inspector.

I may have watched too many ‘Slow Horses’ episodes.

Bin. Problem solved.

Might be worth doing a quick google of your own address just to make sure it's not on a website being used as a legitimate looking business/return address by scammers. Doubt they'd have your actual details, they'll have just plucked an address at random.

If you're really paranoid have a quick look at Companies House to make sure nobodys registered using your address - doubtful though.
