Bad Nanny is a documentary series that premiered on May 12, 2025, on RTÉ ONE. It explores the story of Samantha Cookes, who for over a decade across Ireland and the UK used various aliases such as Carrie Jade Williams and Sadie Harris to carry out a series of deception and manipulation. The series delved into her intricate web of lies, which affected vulnerable families and online communities, and featured interviews with victims who had never spoken publicly before.

The show provided a detailed account of her decade-long con, including unseen archive footage of Samantha and firsthand accounts from those impacted by her scams. It was based on the RTÉ podcast series The Real Carrie Jade and aimed to shed light on psychological manipulation and the resilience of those who exposed her. The series consisted of two episodes, with the last episode airing on May 19, 2025, and had a runtime of 60 minutes.
