This Is Not a Drill: TLC Is Launching Another Pimple-Popping Show—and This Time It's British
? TLC has announced an upcoming show that looks a lot like Dr. Pimple Popper, except it's based in the UK.
? The star is Dr. Emma, a dermatologist and dermatological surgeon.
? TLC has not announced an exact premiere date for Dr. Emma's show, but we can't wait.
Have you ever been watching Dr. Pimple Popper and thought to yourself, Gee, I wish there were another show exactly like this, but British? Well, fantasize no longer! TLC is turning that dream into a reality with a new show about a dermatologist named Dr. Emma.
"We’re traveling across the pond to bring you TLC’s newest medical miracle worker!" TLC announced in a Thursday Instagram post. "Dr. Emma is changing lives on a can’t-miss new series coming soon."
"Dr. Emma" may not have the same ring as "Dr. Pimple Popper," but judging by the sneak peek video on TLC's Instagram, the intrepid doctor seems to treat the same kind of gnarly skin conditions: oozing zits; giant cysts; unexplained rashes. Except, as we mentioned before, it's all British.
"Might just give it a wee squeeze, if that's alright?" Dr. Emma says, forcing heaps of yellow gunk from a patient's skin. (Oh yes. We can definitely get behind this new show.)
Behold the glorious announcement here:
Who is TLC's Dr. Emma?
