The programme meets people from across the United Kingdom who either regret past cosmetic surgery or body art procedures and wish these to be reversed, or who are planning to undergo such procedures, often for the first time: in each edition, one of those planning to undergo the modification will meet with one of those who plans reversal of similar work, in order to discuss the potential pitfalls of said surgery.
In the spring of 2013 it was announced that Katie Piper would be involved in two new projects for Channel 4, to be produced by Endemol-owned production outfit Remarkable Television.
The new programme developed as Undo Me eventually came to air in early 2014 having been reduced to a four-part run and acquired the new title Bodyshockers: each episode of the initial run also received a sub-title relating to one of the themes covered in the episode (though this led to two editions both titled My Tattoo Hell.)
In summer 2014 it was confirmed that a second series of Bodyshockers had been commissioned by Channel 4 - the new episodes entered production in autumn 2014 for a scheduled transmission early in 2015.
Seven episodes aired weekly on Wednesday nights in January and February 2016, with an eighth held back to follow at a later date, eventually turning up as a standalone broadcast in June, several weeks after Piper's new format Never Seen a Doctor had completed its initial three-part run.
