I've tried Tan Drops...didn't like it. I have quite Olive skin, this made me look orangey/yellowy and just made the skin look dirty. On the plus side, it would last you ages, but definitely wouldn't recommend - anything you get from the high-street for a 1/3 of the price is the same.

I couldn't believe when I saw this product! Shocking. It is just hula hoop - exactly the same one you can buy for a couple of pounds from a a kids' toy shop. QVC does itself damage when it tries to flog products like this. The presenter couldn't even use it. (N.b. The Guest as ex bid-up.tv...

Peter Simon is renowned for his lies, but his latest is quite something. He is claiming on air that Ideal World/Him/the Presenters have been short-listed for a National Television Award... I'm used to him describing everyone as 'award winning' or saying that the presenters are 'always in the...

My favourite is when they start having a breakdown and saying "20% OF THE STOCK HAS SOLD OUT AND GONE!!". The other way of looking at that is that 80% is still available... Anyway, they have the same 5 products on again and again. They never sell out of anything.

Every year is the same bundle of the 'latest toys'. I presume its aimed at older people who believe that these are the 'latest must have toys' and naively buy for their grandchildren. It is very overpriced - £129.99, and the majority of toys in the bundle are worth just a couple of pounds...

Shopping channels tend to do this a lot; slagging off products they then have on a few days later. Another example on Ideal World is the flogging of the Nutribullet as being so much better than juicer, as juicers being last century and not provided any nutrition. What's tomorrow's pick of the...

Very shoddy practice. Really unacceptable.

Yep, it's just a con - they're just small ready meals - you can get them from any supermarket at half the price. I also find it strange how the majority of people who present these products are overweight themselves... Denise claims to have been on this for months and it has 'changed her life'...

Well at least they painted the floor and dusted the studio a bit.... Agree it won't last. I think these 'quiz channels' are pretty grim personally - but at least this one seems to be pretty open and honest, constant mentioning of call cost, that it is gambling, that the number of times you...

They really ARE becoming Bid TV - considering Bid had a terrible reputation and went bust it seems a bizarre move to take. Peter Simon, the awful Mike Mason, DIY Charlie, Panjaban Curry, Elvis Memorabilia, the warnings every five seconds that 'Stocks WILL run out'... it is basically Bid...

Completely agree. This is a solution for a problem that doesn't exist.

Gosh! It's the guests and models I feel sorry for- they stand there and look so uncomfortable while he talks. What is ideal world thinking?

I don't think I've ever seen a more smug and talentless presenter (even in the world of shopping television...) I just switched over briefly during a commercial on another channel to hear one of the most bizarre 4 minutes of television ever. He was ranting about how you could impress neighbours...

The vast majority of their output on the main channel is live - they may occasionally go to pre-recorded segments, but this is far less common than their live output.

Absolutely. I cannot believe they have the cheek to claim these will be energy efficient or save money. I know it's a free market and people can choose to buy what they wish, but I genuinely think that they way they sell this product is disgusting.

I completely agree - he's an absolutely dreadful presenter. Smug, irritating, patronising, self-rightoues and completely talentless. One of the few presenters who I actively turn over to avoid. Also judging by the inane ramblings he goes into on TV, he doesn't seem particularly bright either.

I'm presuming they must be trying to grab some of the old Bid audience. Peter Simon seems to have become king of the channel and is pretty much getting away with anything sales wise. I flicked over and he was up to his old tricks, during a toy show he stated 'These toys are so popular...Hamle...

I was flicking around the channels and saw these - portable radiators, pretty standard I thought. But then I clocked the price - absolutely outrageous and legitimately ridiculous. And the assertion that these are energy efficient and cost saving is ridiculous. Even if you ran them for 4 years...

There are some of the more genuine presenters who I'm sure probably do own a lot products featured. However, others like Peter Simon I wouldn't trust at all. The whole 'just trust me at 'ome' and then the made up list of fictional people who he says are buying the products (Our Bet, Maude at...

My biggest gripe with Ideal World at the moment is the pathetic pressure selling they seem to be trying - Peter Simon is the worse. "These are going FAST" "We are going to sell-out!" "We have a LIMITED stock" "Get these before they're gone!".... Ideal World has about 5 products which are...
