ITV, 8pm Having a cat or dog as a pet is just soooo last year. These days it’s all about micro pigs and miniature hedgehogs.

As this bizarre series concludes, we meet Rory Fox, 21, who has cornered the market in supplying pet jellyfish.

“They are the new cool pet to have,” he says. “They pulsate around the tank in dazzling colours. They are the modern-day lava lamp.”

When Rory, as a teenager, asked his dad Stephen for a jellyfish as a pet, they had no idea it would turn into a thriving business, selling jellyfish for anything between £15 to £100-plus.

Now Rory employs Stephen to help him export his creatures all around the world. With his mum Victoria, the family have even had to move to a bigger house to accommodat­e his breeding lab.

Elsewhere, don’t miss the transforma­tion of a pony into a purple unicorn – complete with nail polish on its hooves – for a child’s birthday party.

It has to be seen to be believed.
