Tracey and her co-host, gay agony uncle Michael Alvear star in this ground-breaking program which put cameras in the homes - and bedrooms - of UK couples to solve common sex and relationship issues.

Two series have been filmed to date.

For six weeks, the experts worked to transform them from dating disaster into dating diva. Three series were filmed in the UK, including a celebrity special, and Tracey went on to make two series in the US.
