Holy crap did anyone just see the GHD portion of Watchdog tonight? My mum called me to come see it. Im worried my GHDs will blow up now! This girl had hers unplugged and left on the foot of her bed and it caught fire! Unbelievable. Mine are 3 years old so I might replace them soon.

Just the GHDs Paula. I wont stop using mine either Jaxter! I have mark hill ones and they just arent as good. I do have very thick hair and nothing can get it straight apart from the GHDs. Mine were from the 2003 batch and I was pretty annoyed that they didnt replace mine when they started to spark. They are repaired and Ive not had a problem. My mum was shocked when she saw the programme!
