Every show we learn things about some HMs past and not all good.Often its gleaned and shared by members of this forum.What I was wondering is that having short listed someone as a possible HM just how much further research do the producers do.?

It appears that often HMs lie or exaggerate to get a place on the show how much of this are the producers aware of before selecting them.? Do they seek the skeletons and consider the consequences.?

Maybe they follow the any publicity is good theory when the press or forums dish up the dirt.?
