The new four-part series sees the television presenter join forces with celebrity guests to offer tips on how to make travel money go further.

In light of the coronavirus outbreak in numerous countries around the world however, the first episode will not air tonight as originally planned.

Instead, Griff's Great Australian Adventure has been pencilled into the 8:30pm timeslot, which follows comedian Griff Rhys Jones as he travels from Perth to Kalgoorie.

Schofield's How to Spend It Well on Holiday, a follow-up to his successful Christmas series, will be screened at a later date, yet to be determined.
