Paris Hilton's British Best Friend is a British reality television show where Paris Hilton searches for her new British best friend and is the second incarnation of the My New BFF franchise. The abbreviation of the show is a pun on BFF, meaning best friends forever.[1] The series aired on ITV2. Filmed in December 2008 (since there are references to Christmas) and premiered on 29 January 2009 and consisted of eight episodes. The first episode received 428,000 viewers with 2% share,[2] according to overnight figures.[3]

Canadian music channel MuchMusic is currently airing re-runs. This is also one of the few shows on MuchMusic not to censor any form of profanity. It is one of the highest ratings for a non-MuchMusic program.
