THERE'S not much I enjoy more than watching some jumped-up spoilt brat getting their just desserts in front of their peers.

Welcome back Brat Camp! You've been missed.

In last night's show, the first in the new series of Brat Camp: Mums and Daughters, we met every parent's worst nightmare: 15-year-old Natasha Whitlock, the happy-slapping, teacher-baiting, shoplifting, underage boozer. Natas-ha's epic tantrums could be evoked by the slightest thing including not getting a £300 Tiffany necklace she wanted for her birthday.

Instead of giving her the good hiding she so desperately deserved her doting mother Montana instead chose to pander to her like a pampered pooch, giving her everything she asked for and more.

But the programme makers had other ideas.

Their answer to getting nasty Natasha on the straight and narrow was to stick her in the Arizona Desert for a bit of torture... I mean "wilderness therapy".

Unlike previous series of this great show, the mothers were told they too had to suffer a bit before they could trade in their little horrors for perfect children.

And after being forced to hike with a 20kg backpack in unbearable heat, then camp in rough terrain in freezing temperatures the terrible teenager finally appreciated her old mum again. Now that's what I call pay-back.
