Update: Transmission date confirmed - series starts on Oct 18 at 8pm. Vic and Bob appear in the episode on November 1.
Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer are uniting for the new series of Celebrity Storage Hunters. Bob has appeared in the programme before and will now be joined by his double act partner. Their Shooting Stars co-stars Ulrika Jonsson and Johnny Vegas will also be appearing.
Bob Mortimer said, “I’m so excited to be involved in Storage Hunters again as I’ve been a big fan of the show for a long time. I had a lot of fun filming the Christmas special – I caused a bit of a frenzy by hiking up the prices. I can now reveal that this time round I will have a bidding partner alongside me to help wind up the other celebs and bag ourselves some bargains – all in the name of charity of course.”
Vic Reeves stated “Bob said it was really good fun and that I should do it if I got the chance - so I’m in! I think we’ll do well. Bob’s a very good strategist.”
In total, 41 celebrities will compete against each other across the new series, with their winning money going to the charity of their choice. Other celebrity names ready to bid on this series’ abandoned storage containers include Jenny Eclair and Lizzie Roper, who return from the Christmas special, as well as Katherine Ryan, Chris Kamara, Ainsley Harriott, Phil Tufnell, Janet Street-Porter and Jaymi Hensley, JJ Hamblett & Josh Cuthbert of Union J.
Also appearing in the five-part series are Joe Wilkinson, Shappi Khorsandi, Anna Crilly & Katy Wix, Sean Hughes, Justin Moorhouse, Katy Brand, Stephen K Amos, Chris Ramsey, Lucy Porter, Marcus Brigstocke, Dave Gorman, Mark Watson, Ellie Taylor, Hal Cruttenden, Nick Helm, Geordie Shore’s Charlotte Crosby and Holly Hagan, Theo Paphitis, Tim Vine, Nancy Dell’Olio and Steph & Dom Parker from Gogglebox
Based on the US hit Storage Hunters, the award-winning Storage Hunters UK is a UKTV original for Dave, which is now in its fifth series. The show is fronted by legendary fast-talking auctioneer and comedian Sean Kelly, who will also oversee the auction anarchy on this latest series as celebrities go head-to-head, bidding blindly on abandoned containers, in the fiercely competitive, entertaining and cut-throat show.
Celebrity Storage Hunters will air on Dave starting on October 18.
