What's the show all about?
Young boozers, bingers and party animals get a wake-up call in Twofour's new series for BBC Three - Make My Body Younger, presented by George Lamb.

Each week, the over-the-top lifestyle of a contributor is examined: what damage are their excesses doing to their insides? Using state-of-the-art technology designed by Adam Montandon from HMC Interactive and Ted Thorpe from TwoFour Design and animation, a "living autopsy" is performed, revealing the real impact that bad food, drink, drugs and cigarettes are having on their organs with shocking results - they are ageing much faster on the inside than they should be.

In the first part of this new series party girl Emma Sheldon faces the "living autopsy". Emma is shocked to discover how fast her organs are aging but how much does she want to change?

For six months of the year, 23-year-old Emma indulges in the party lifestyle as a club rep in Ibiza. Hard partying has been tough on her body; she lives on a diet of junk food, has been known to put on three stone in just three months and enjoy twenty four hour drinking sessions. Emma also smokes up to two hundred fags a week.

Consultant neurologist Andrew Curran reveals what’s been going on inside her body at her "living autopsy". Her heart, lungs and skin have taken a real battering! She’s only 23 years old but at 45 her lungs are almost double her birth age and she is diagnosed as clinically obese - how will her other organs fair?

Upset by the results of her autopsy, Emma wants to change her ways. Dr Radha Modgil moves in to help her cut down her harmful habits but ultimately it’ll be down to Emma to turn around her own future. Will she have enough determination to reverse the damage? All will be revealed when Emma returns to the "living autopsy" theatre once again.

Make My Body Younger is part of BBC Headroom. Headroom is a new multi platform campaign from BBC Learning that aims to help people look after their mental wellbeing.
