If you look at reality TV there are always those who will do anything to get their face on TV, in any way possible, good or bad. Look at Jeremy Kyle. I guess if they ask enough people some might say yes, believing the publicity to be beneficial to them.

However, I'm with you and I can't think of anything worse than this, it sounds horrendous. No amount of money would persuade me to go on the telly, tell the world what I do and allow them to edit me as they see fit. The very thought terrifies me!

Are you sure it was genuine? Never heard of documentary makers, texting!
Sounds a bit weird.

It would go down well with clients when you ask:- - "do you want to be on the telly with me?!!!"

Maybe documentary makers should be contacting George McCoy - he would love the publicity - he has already been on a few!

Yea because there are people who will do it. I've notice with some of these docu's you'll see some of the same faces recycled. Some people maybe just get a kick out of being on TV and some might think their unique beauty ineffable charm will come through and they'll be spotted for bigger and better things. Even those these days, because there are so so so so many channels, in order to compete and make a profit they need something low budget but high impact, hence so many squalid little 'exposes' on sex lives and such... and so almost anyone can get on TV these days if they wanted to, hence its not the scoop or 'deal' it once was. 

There was some fluff piece in a tabloid rag the other day about former reality stars becoming escorts and cam girls because they find getting ordinary work again after their 5 minutes of fame hard...so seems reality TV and prostitution are becoming self cycling bedfellows...
