Reality TV is a type of programme. It means that real-life people, not actors, are followed and filmed in a real situation, or game.
Reality TV is very popular in the UK. At their best, these programmes give us a good look into the lives of different people in Britain. At their worse, they are a very cheap way to make programmes and sometimes involve people behaving very badly.
Here's a selection of some of the UK's reality shows.
Shattered

Come to Dine with Me
