💨 Abstract

"Faking It" returned on Channel 5 after 19 years, featuring luxury estate agent Rex pretending to be a northern market trader. Despite initial struggles, Rex convinced two out of three inspectors. Viewers doubted the authenticity but enjoyed watching Rex transform with the help of mentors like Tom Skinner. The show, once acclaimed on Channel 4, has been revived by Banijay and features a mix of skill mastery and convincing deception.
