BBC Three - Katie Price: The Jordan Years

How glamour model Jordan went from notorious ladette to female icon.

Richard Macer revisits the 200 hours of footage he shot of glamour model Jordan from 2001-2003 in an attempt to discover how she went from notorious ladette to female icon.

In 2001, filmmaker Richard Macer began the first of three documentaries about the glamour model Jordan. Back then, she was the Britain's most notorious laddette, a tabloid sensation and an embarrassment to everyone but herself, but by the end of their third film together in 2003 Jordan had become a very different person. 

She was a single mum with a disabled child and a career that was coming to an end. But incredibly, she is now reportedly worth over 30 million pounds and has dropped her alter ego for her real name, Katie Price. She has had a string of best-selling books, including three autobiographies, and her extraordinary transformation moved her fanbase from teenage boys to young women. Now, she is even described as a female icon. 

How did she achieve this amazing change? Macer revisits the 200 hours of footage he shot of Jordan, talks to the people who helped make her famous and asks if Jordan is really a good role model for girls in Britain.

BBC Three - Make My Body Younger, Series 2, Jason Vernalls

A clinically obese former running enthusiast is given a frightening living autopsy.

The series advising people with excessive lifestyles on how to become healthier helps Jason Varnells handle a fast food addiction that has led to clinical obesity.

Presenter George Lamb and a group of doctors advise people with excessive lifestyles how to become healthier and avoid serious illness.

Twenty-six-year-old railway worker Jason Vernalls lives in Peterborough with his childhood sweetheart Fiona and their 18-month-old son Harley.

Until a few years ago Jason was a fit and athletic running enthusiast who once completed the London Marathon and Great North Run in the same year.

But since then Jason (AKA Noodles for his ability to down multiple pots in one sitting) has become a fast food addict with a ballooning weight problem. Jason works night shifts so relishes the two or three evenings a week he has free to spend with friends at his local pub, when the drinking is long and hard. But it is the lack of a 'stop' button when it comes to food that is his real undoing. Jason will eat anything and everything, once downing 200 chicken nuggets in a sitting and on another occasion munching his way through an entire fast food restaurant menu.  

Now clinically obese, Jason's lifestyle has left him unfit, unhappy and unable to be the father and partner Fiona longs for him to be. At his own living autopsy he is horrified to see the damage he is doing to his heart, liver and massively overworked muscular skeletal system. At last it sinks in that unless he takes drastic action his fears that he may not live to see his 30th birthday, and that his son may grow up without a father, could well be realised.
