Celebrity Escape to the Country, from Fremantle’s Naked West, is due to return to BBC One this December for a third season.
The second season of the show, in which celebrities explore some of Britain’s most beautiful regions and country living, peaked at just under 3 million viewers. Janet Street Porter, Gareth Malone, Chesney Hawkes, Neil ‘Razor’ Ruddock, Angellica Bell, and Neil Jones are slated for the new season.
John Comerford, head of Naked West and executive producer, noted, “We are thrilled to be announcing the return of Celebrity Escape to the Country. Watching our celebrities experience the beauty of rural Britain, whilst exploring the possibility of a new life in the countryside, is a joy, and we cannot wait for viewers to see it.’
Julie Shaw, commissioning editor for BBC Daytime, added: “There’s nothing quite like sitting at home and watching your favorite celebrities try and find their dream homes across the U.K. and realizing they’re just like us! Celebrity Escape to the Country has quickly won over the hearts of audiences as they get an exclusive look into the non-negotiables of our house-hunting stars!”
