UKTV has announced that a series of Celebrity Storage Hunters is to be made for their Dave channel.
There will be five more episodes fronted by auctioneer Sean Kelly. The one-off special last Christmas was its top rating show of 2015, with a million viewers tuning in to watch famous faces including Shaun Ryder, Bez, Bob Mortimer, Lizzie Roper and Ross Noble compete to win the most money for their chosen charity.
Helen Nightingale, executive producer, UKTV said, “Storage Hunters UK is a winning combination of fierce competition and fast-paced action. Add famous faces to the mix and you get a whole new dynamic of rivalry.”
Steve North, Dave general manager, said, “I am delighted that North One and Sean Kelly will be bringing a full series ofCelebrity Storage Hunters to the channel. Dave viewers love Storage Hunters and this enables us to bring in top comedy talent too. Combined with the UK version of Storage Hunters, which is now in its fifth series, with more to follow in the autumn we have some great new shows lined up for Storage Hunters fans.”
Sean Doherty, North One executive producer and series director, said, “The Christmas special was even better than we could have hoped, with the celebrities really getting into the Storage Hunters spirit. We’ve got some fantastic guests to make sure this full series will be really memorable.”
Celebrity Storage Hunters will air on Dave later this year.
