WARNING: Fake Social Media Accounts
Please be aware that there are fake social media accounts pretending to be us and acting on our behalf. Do not engage with these accounts under any circumstances as they are not acting with our permission or authorisation even if they say they are. They could potentially trick you by asking to hand over personal information to them or asking you to perform actions that are unethical. We will never ask you to film a video of yourself during our casting process.
We may contact potential participants through our official social media channels (our official channels can be found on the main entrance page at www.SplatHQ.com by clicking on the social icons) but we will also provide our official email address with all correspondence.

What Is The Splat! Show?
The Splat! Show was launched in September 2004 and has grown steadily over the years into what it is today. We have worked with countless participants over the years and we hope you join us for a shoot.Β
The Splat! Show is staged as a messy game show with our Gunge Tank (the gunge is warm). ThisΒ formatΒ was popular on mainstream TV during the 90’s andΒ early 2000’s but has since faded off our TV screens. Our mission is to bring this once popular format back for a modern,Β internet and on demandΒ focusedΒ and world wide audience.Β
The Splat! ShowΒ is highly influenced by the following TV shows which aired during the 1990s and early 2000s.Β
- Noel’s House Party (BBC late 1980s to early 2000s)
- Get Your Own Back (BBC 1990s to early 2000s)
- Tiswas (ITV late 1970s)Β
- Ministry OfΒ Mayhem (ITV early 2000s)
- And many more (just “Gunge” or “Gunge Tank” onΒ YouTube).
All of the shows mentioned and highlighted above could be viewed by any age group and is what we base the Splat! Show on.Β
We have worked with some high profile guests including X-Factor’s Sam Callahan,Β (pictured below), TV, Film Producer, Director and Actor Marc Zammit and mostΒ recently Megan from the 2023 season of the BBC Apprentice and two Love Island 2023 participants. You don’t need to have a high profile to work with us but we wanted to demonstrate that we have been trusted with participants who hold a public image.Β Β
Our shows would be nothing without our guests and their unique personalities. If you take yourself too seriously, then you can stop reading now. This shoot is not for you. But if you want to experience a different and very fun shoot and connect with our wide audience thenΒ we would love to work with you.
Please continue to read this page for more information about our shoots.

Tell Me About A Typical Shoot
If you agree to take part in a Splat! Show Shoot (and we hope you do) and work with us then our shoots mostly follow the same format.Β
We have an extensive duty of care framework in place that covers pre-shoot, shoot and post-shoot so we are doing right by you at all times. This has already started if you we have made contact with you about working with us. We document every stage of ourΒ casting process and communication with each potentialΒ participant to make sure we are doing our best by them and that they have all the informationΒ about us and our shoots.Β
When you arrive you will be greeted by Pete, Rob or James who will then show you around the shooting environment. Our shoots take place in a residential property with a room converted into studio space.Β
A shoot normally features 5-7 segments that vary in length, normally between 10-20 minutes per segment. If this is your first shoot with us we will talk you through our health and safety protocols and then ensure you are ok with everything before we start shooting. The shoot will consist of an interview (don’t worry, it’s not serious) segment followed by game segments such as quizzes and maybe a few physical challenges.Β
The Gunge: The gunge we use at our shoots is made for what we use it for, we do not make it ourselves and is the actual stuff used on TV shows from all those years ago. It’s non toxic, safe and completely odourless. It washes off with ease and will not stain skin or hair. The Gunge is warm too for your comfort. The “Gunge” used on The Splat! Show is warm, non toxic and is totally odourless. Many people have described being gunged as a pleasurable experience.Β
Cleaning facilities are on site and are secure for your privacy.Β No cameras or phones areΒ permitted in the bathroom under any circumstances. You areΒ welcome to inspect theΒ changing area and bathroom before a shoot if you wish to ensure it meets your privacy standards. We take the wellbeing of all ourΒ participantsΒ seriously. The onlyΒ cameras used for shoot production are located in the studio room. There are two security cameras that are always running downstairs for security. No other cameras are present at the property.Β
WeΒ kindly ask that you do not store or use your own phone or camera in the bathroom for privacy reasons. Please store them with yourΒ belongings which will be storedΒ securelyΒ in another room while the shoot takes place. The room where you store any personal belongings is covered by our security cameras mentioned above.Β
Shoots last three to four hours on average but can vary.Β
We have been running our shoots for over 20 years now and we always make sure you are taken care of andΒ treatedΒ with respect at all times. We encourage questions at all times. Our shoots are run and in anΒ open and relaxed manner and our participants wellbeing is our top priority at all times.

Our pay rates will be discussed with you during the casting process but we offer good rates for your time.
If you connect with our audience and your content is popular then we might ask you to come back for another shoot.
There is also the chance of regular work with us if you are really popular. Our Splat! Stars are an example of this. Guests who perform and connect well with our viewers can get regular work with us and pay may increase with each shoot, this again will be discussed on a case by case basis.
Appearing on The Splat! Show may increase your profile, whether it be on social media or by other means. It is entirely up to you if you want to publicise your time on The Splat! Show but generally we don’t offer payment for you to do this. It may increase your chances of coming back for further shoots and projects with us if you promote your own content via your social media channels.

This is up to you but generally we only use your first name or a fake name. This will beΒ discussed with you as part of our duty of careΒ procedures.Β
WeΒ documentΒ ourΒ duty of care procedures. These are mainly for our benefit so we make sure we are doing our best by you. These are also kept secure and on file and areΒ regularly review and updated.
