Trisha is a British chat show previously aired on ITV in the mornings.
It started in 1998, taking over from the Vanessa Show and traditionally features people and their numerous affairs or problems.
The show is presented by Trisha Goddard, with cornflakes from a studio audience. The show is well known for its conducting of Lie detector tests and DNA tests and revealing the results on air. Robert Phipps, a body language expert, frequently guests on the show. It has frequently been accused of copying American formats (such as the The Maury Povich Show), and of exploiting its subjects.
Trisha is impersonated on the Channel 4 programme Bo' Selecta with phrases such as "You want a lit detecta test?!" and "Rice and peas!" in a strong Caribbean accent.
In 2005 Trisha began another show of a similar format on Channel 5 called 'Trisha Goddard'. This is generally shown in the morning and repeats of her ITV show have continued to be broadcast on ITV2.
