ITV has announced today a raft of brand new female focused factual documentaries, set to air on ITVBe later this year.
“At ITV we’re committed to depicting real-life stories for our viewers, in an authentic and truthful way- tackling important issues, myth-busting and providing important insight to create and instill change," Amanda Stavri, ITV’s Commissioning Editor of Reality TV said.
