Supernanny is returning to TV screens after eight-year hiatus

It has been eight years since Supernanny Jo Frost was last on our screens tackling problem parenting.

The child behavioural expert will be back on TV with a brand new American series of 20 episodes dealing with difficult kids and their exhausted mums and dads.

In a trailer for the new series, Jo parodies Liam Neeson's film Taken as she confronts a little girl amid the wreckage of a family home, reports the Mirror Online.

She receives a call from a mysterious figure telling her: "It's really bad. The subject has taken matters into their own hands."

As Jo is whisked along a suburban street in a convoy of black SUVs, she tells the operator "put him on now".

"I don't know who you are, but let me tell you what I'm doing here," she says menacingly into the phone.

"I'm here because I have a specific set of skills. Skills that I have perfected throughout my entire career."

She walks into the ruined house as she continues talking quietly on the phone.

"Dealing with people just like you. If you listen to me now, this whole situation may turn out different for you," she tells the person on the other end.

"But if you don't... Oh if you don't, I will fix that," she says as she comes face to face with a girl sitting in an office chair.

The girl leans forward and whispers: "Good. Luck."

Supernanny is set to air from January 1 at 10pm on Lifetime in the US.

Ahead of the launch Jo said she has returned as Supernanny in the wake of cuts in government spending in the US.
