The star of a new three-part television series, 'Supernanny', has been hailed as a 'modern day Mary Poppins'.

Jo Frost is 34 and has had 16 years' experience of nannying. In the series she is drafted into the homes of three different families to turn around the behaviour of wilful children and change the family's childrearing habits.

In the first programme shown on 7 July, Jo faced two year-old Charlie Woods, who ruled the family roost in Grantham. Next week she introduces her 'toy confiscation technique' when she moves in with single mother Kelly Steer and her two young children.

'Supernanny' is broadcast on Wednesdays at 9pm on Channel 4.
