Ah, Don’t Tell The Bride - if you’re not already a fan of this nightmarish wedding reality show, you need to be.

The programme basically works like this this; show bosses offers couples hoping to tie the knot a budget of £14,000 (formerly £12,000) to plan the perfect wedding – with a catch.

The groom has to organise everything within the three weeks running up to the big day, and is allowed no contact at all with his bride-to-be.

Yes – he has to pick the dress, the venue, organise the hen do, sort the catering, the cake... the list goes on.

Unsurprisingly, this has led to more than a few car crash TV moments over the years.

Here are our top 10 picks. Are you ready for this?
