But, as he soon discovers, this lifestyle would be laced with darkness, danger and terrible consequences.

At just 18 years of age, Elliot is an international fraudster who is on the run from law enforcement around the globe. He pursues his scams around the world, chasing the dream of a lavish lifestyle.

Anton Danyluk, the ripped reality star from Lanarkshire, has battled body insecurity all his life. As an overweight kid, he faced body-shaming and bullying. He reacted by hitting the gym to build muscle and confidence. But despite his toned body, he is still anxious about his appearance – and he is not alone. More than a quarter of teenage boys in Scotland stress about their body image, and social media is making the problem worse. Now Anton wonders if he is part of the issue, as he peppers his socials with muscly selfies and gym shots. Is he both hiding his insecurities and making boys believe in an unrealistic ideal body? He meets young men who struggle with their body image to understand how they are affected by what they see online, and compares their experiences of body-shaming with his own. In a frank, personal journey, he examines his time on reality TV and speaks to mental health experts as he questions how the media obsession with ‘ripped physiques’ affects Scotland’s young men.

In this episode, we ask what ultras culture is actually for. We return to Jayden and his mum as they join an Edinburgh derby march, framing ultras not simply as something to fear, but as something families, clubs and communities are choosing to stand within. Across Scotland, a divide is clear, with clubs such as Kilwinning fed up with ultras culture, citing safety concerns and financial survival. Beyond flares and fines, we uncover community work, mental health support and the structure ultras groups provide for young men searching for purpose. As parallel marches unfold, the stakes sharpen - this is no longer just about atmosphere, it is about belonging, influence and the future shape of the national game. Can ultras culture evolve into something sustainable and accountable? And what replaces it if it is shut out.

As criminal investigations take hold, the victims finally have justice, but they are still left urgently searching for answers as they try to rebuild their lives. What drives someone, with a seemingly normal life, to throw it all away to terrorise countless women from the same town? With no clear motive and no explanation from the person in the frame, this very modern true crime tale now turns to those closest to the perpetrator, who are also trying to understand the mystery behind the repeated cycles of offending. As the beauty queen and the catfish’s lives become ever more entangled, lines begin to blur, loyalties are tested, and Abbie finds herself questioning everything as history repeats, and the moral complexity of crime and punishment in the internet age is laid bare. For the many victims, the question remains: what drives someone to become one of the UK’s most prolific catfish - and why can’t they stop.
