The first episode of Glow airs tonight (Thursday) - but we have a sneak preview to share with you first.

Glasgow’s own reality show will be available online from 7pm after weeks of anticipation - and a bit of worry - from Glaswegians.

Will it showcase the ‘glitz and glam’ of the city, or will it make us cringe? There’s only one way to find out … and the new trailer might just give you an idea.

Following in the footsteps of the likes of The Only Way is Essex and Made in Chelsea, GRTV producer Stephanie Docherty hopes it will capture Glasgow’s unique sense of humour.

“We’ve been inundated with messages, both positive and negative, which is terrific as it shows that unique Glaswegian passion.

“Hopefully when people see the first episode they will appreciate that we, and the cast, are having fun with this and taking a light-hearted approach.

“We could never represent everything about Glasgow in 45 minutes each week but hopefully it showcases Glasgow is the positive, stylish and fun way we know and love.”

Stephanie maintains that the show is completely unscripted, to give it a real feel - and that the cast were picked from the hundreds who auditioned because they were the “most likeable”.

She added: “They had to be similar [to get along] but then everyone who applied was, and had the same kind of interests. I didn’t want to handpick the show’s stars.”

The first episode is longer than those to come, to set the scene and introduce the cast - Stephanie commented: “Be assured straight away we already have tears, romance, bust-ups and lots and lots of drama - everything needed to make a reality show a success.

“You definitely get to know them all a lot better - the first episode had to show as much as we could, but after that it calms down into normal life.”

Whether that ‘normal life’ looks like yours or not, we’ll let you be the judge … but you can catch all the glamour and the drama from 7pm on glasglow.tv
