However, Andre claims, a lot of his worst behaviour on the show was encouraged by its producers. He did other weird shit for the camera, too, like getting a stick-on of his face for his family's black cab in the run-up to the party.

The UK show tended to offer disappointment rather than opulence: spotty teens swinging around offy bags full of WKD bottles to "Heartbroken" in a decked-out under-18s venue.īut what's it like to be publicly-shamed on a reality TV programme when you're still basically a child? I asked some of the poor souls who appeared on the show to share their stories. Plus, a lot of them weren't actually turning 16, but somewhere between the ages of 13 and 18. This meant that the kind of people who did appear on the show had loads of money, but not enough to buy out a Hilton hotel for the night, or to pay Beyoncé to rock up for a sing-song.
In America, wealth is always something to brag about, even if you're the President, but in the UK, if you're genuinely minted, you're also likely to have learned an aristocratic etiquette that will stifle any urge you have to appear on television at a Disney-themed party that you paid for with your own money. However many times MTV tried to get a kid to drawl "This is gonna be the best party evuuur," they could not make places like Litchfield look like places like Los Angeles. In comparison, the British version was basically rubbish.
