Secret Eaters is a British documentary television series about overeating. It is broadcast on Channel 4 and presented by Anna Richardson.[1] There have so far been 22 episodes spanning three series. In each episode, Anna Richardson meets a group of people; usually a couple, friends or a family, who are overweight.[2] They are then filmed in their homes for a week and followed around by 'private investigators' Cameron Gowlett and Duncan Mee who monitor their every move and record everything they eat. At the end of the week, they are confronted by the presenter about what they eat, shown footage of them eating and told how many calories they have eaten throughout the course of the week.[3] They are also given dietary advice by expert Lynne Garton about what they have eaten.
