Young, Dumb and Living Off Mum was an entertainment/reality series airing on BBC Three. The series followed a group of young adults who have been waited on hand and foot their whole lives. The series sees them living together in a house and fending for themselves. Each week they must compete against each other in tough work challenges set by their parents, designed to encourage them to become more independent. After each assignment, their parents meet to watch the footage of the task and decide who, based on behaviour and performance, should be eliminated from the competition. At the end of the series, the winner receives a round-the-world trip for two people. The show is part of BBC Three's Adult Season. All episodes are narrated by Robert Webb and produced by Byron Archard.

A Swedish version called Ung och bortskämd (Young and Spoiled) began airing on SVT on 8 November 2010 and were finished on 21 December. An Irish version premiered on TV3 in September 2010. An Australian remake, Young, Lazy and Driving Us Crazy, aired in 2014.

The last episode of the series aired on September 18, 2011 and the show never returned in 2012, there have been no casting calls or application details released by the BBC for a fourth series as of August 2015.

Series 1 was first broadcast in July 2009. A total of eight contestants took part in the series; Danielle Tucker, Dina Massey, Dogan Peri, Jay Tronica, Nicola Hitchen, Orion Nurse, Rachel Hyde and Sean Owens. Sean has also previously appeared in Grange Hill and Hollyoaks. All of the contestants lived in a house, in Lewisham, South East London, for a total of four weeks. Danielle, Dina and Dogan made it to the final of the show, which was eventually won by Danielle. Her prize was a trip for two around the world.

Series 2 started on Sunday 25 July and followed a new group of contestants. The format of the show remains unchanged from the previous series. This series originally had 8 contestants but a replacement contestant, Duane Johns, was added during the second week.

Chloe was removed from the house for a violent outburst at the night time. Due to this behaviour she couldn't stay in the house, as she would cause more friction between fellow housemates.
