Paris Hilton's British Best Friend was a reality TV show that aired on ITV2 in 2009. The show followed Paris Hilton as she searched for a new best friend among the British contestants. The contestants had to complete various challenges throughout the show, competing against each other to win Paris Hilton's heart.

The show was hosted by Samuel Hextall, who acted as the presenter and mediator between Paris and the contestants. Emma Beard also featured on the show as Paris's assistant, helping her throughout the challenges and providing her with advice throughout the competition.

The show followed a format similar to other reality competition shows such as The Bachelor, with the contestants living together in a house and competing against each other in group challenges and one-on-one dates. However, it also had a unique twist, as Paris herself had to participate in every challenge and date alongside the contestants.

The challenges varied from week to week and were designed to test each contestant's compatibility with Paris. Some challenges required the contestants to show their artistic skills, while others tested their athleticism or social skills. The dates were also varied, ranging from romantic dinners to adrenaline-fueled activities such as bungee jumping or skydiving.

Throughout the show, Paris was shown getting to know each contestant individually, forming friendships with some and dismissing others. The tension between the contestants also added to the drama of the show, as they competed against each other for Paris's affection.

The show was criticized by some for perpetuating the idea that friendship could be won through competition and for exploiting the contestants for entertainment purposes. However, it was also praised by others for its entertainment value and for providing an insight into the life of the famous heiress.

Despite the controversy, the show was a ratings success and helped to cement Paris Hilton's status as a reality TV star. It also launched the career of Samuel Hextall, who went on to become a successful TV presenter.

In conclusion, Paris Hilton's British Best Friend was a reality TV show that followed Paris Hilton as she searched for a new best friend among the British contestants. The show was hosted by Samuel Hextall and also featured Emma Beard as Paris's assistant. The show followed a format similar to other reality competition shows, with the contestants competing against each other in challenges and dates to win Paris's heart.
