There are hundreds of hidden channels showing a range of popular shows, which you can access for free on most TVs.

These internet-based channels exist beyond regular terrestrial television and are known as FAST - Free Ad-supported TV.

LG and Samsung are two of the major TV brands to develop their own FAST channels with these being built directly into their television sets.

These channels are themed and centre around a number of beloved programmes like Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares, Come Dine With Me and The Real Housewives.

For those who do not have services like Samsung TV Plus built into their tellies, streaming platforms may be the place to go.

Amazon has the Freevee streaming service which offers shows like Neighbours, Baywatch and more.

To access this, you can get yourself a Fire Stick where this should be available.
