Ouch.
She may be “over the moon” to host her first Channel 4 show but the series hasn’t even aired yet and the reaction to the concept is going down like a lead balloon.

In what appears like The Swan reprise, TV presenter Jameela Jamil tweeted saying:
Welp. Black Mirror is officially happening guys. It’s here: ?https://t.co/vhtOHgl9PH

To which Caroline snappily responded saying:

Ouch.
Many took the side of Jameela saying that this is the last thing we need on TV, more shows to make us feel self-conscious and inadequate.
But, Caroline is not ceasing fire as she continued to hint that all is not what you think in regards to what the show will portray.
Hmmm.
Speaking about the new show, executive producer Ross McCarthy said:

We will wait and see.
