      bedroom

To address Britain's not so marital bliss the makers of the show have assembled a team of female customisation specialists to seek out worthy wives to experience the ultimate pimping.

The show's creators are excited about changing the lives of couples all over Britain, "If you think your other half has let herself go or you are embarrassed to take her to work do's then here's your chance to make a difference. Pimp Up My Wife is here to turn the ugliest of wives into goddesses."

One husband whose wife has been accepted for Pimp Up My Wife expresses his delight: "For the last 2 years I have tried to avoid being seen in public with my wife. I can't stand the way she dresses and feel her looks have gone downhill. We hope that getting the Pimp Up My Wife makeover will stop the rot and bring back the woman I fell in love with."
