I think the reason the show never worked is because Liverpool, like my hometown of Glasgow is considered “rough”. There’s an exclusivity to Essex and Chelsea that makes those show more watchable because there’s a slight aspiration to the lifestyle. With Geordie Shore, we needed something “trashy” to offset those other shows, and Geordies are considered more friendlier than say Liverpool or Glasgow. I think it’s an accent thing personally. I love Liverpool and Glasgow people. Salt of the earth. Great sense of humour. And an air of aspiration but without taking ourselves too seriously. But ofc I’m bias.
Love Amanda Harrington down to earth says it as it is and a beautiful person inside and out ❤
So beautiful, so shrewd and genuine.
Love how she came from nothing and supported her daughter. Great role model for young women.
