Three comedians hijack the social media lives of Londoners, setting them insane challenges which they must pull off without revealing their lives have been hacked.
Comedians Dave Gibson, Bec Hill and Jacob Edwards make up the panel, also known as the 'The Freaks'.
Using the contestants' social networks, the team scripts an outrageous week that they must live out for real - From an Essex boy turning into a drag queen to a hipster having to pass off the worst art show ever as all his own work, the comedians will push each competitor to the limit. Will they go through with the challenges? And will they be able to convince their social network their out-of-character updates; photos and videos are for real?
Each episode involves two contestants, with the one that enters into the spirit of things the best (as determined by the hosts) winning a holiday at the end of the show.
