Life Uncovered

Oil London once identified as a Korean woman, and spent thousands on surgery to achieve his dream look, akin to K-pop stars BTS. Now a Born Again Christian, and a regular on GB News and US networks like Fox News, he is de-transitioning to become a man again; Ben Zand spends time with Oil to understand his reasons why.

He endures freezing temperatures, downs bulletproof coffee and consumes a pharmacy-worth of pills on a daily basis - Ben Zand meets the self-proclaimed ‘biohacker’ who wants to ‘live forever’. In the pursuit of becoming immortal, Leon spends more than the average UK salary on using cryochamers, bulking in the gym and prolonged periods of fasting - all to live to 3,000 - but is it worth it?

Joe has fathered more than 160 children. Not through fertility clinics or IVF, but through Facebook Marketplace. Ben Zand meets probably the world’s most prolific father, who donates his sperm to help those wanting a pregnancy to achieve their goal. He even offers what he calls ‘natural insemination’, providing a more intimate service for those keen to give birth.

‘Psychic to the stars’ Chris Riley has a huge waiting list; and gives thousands of readings each year; giving clients advice on their health, their relationships, their past and their future. From a sceptical point of view, Ben Zand puts the social media star to the test.

Is being a woman just ‘better’? Ben Zand meets Sammy, who is becoming a woman for the perceived perks it brings to life.
