Former Strictly star's debut Escape to the Country episode finally gets air date confirmed
Richie is headed to the Midlands!
Richie Anderson will be making his Escape to the Country debut in under two weeks. The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant is set to help a couple of Brummies find their perfect property.
The fourth episode of the series, titled The Midlands, airs on Monday 8th September at 3pm on BBC One and iPlayer and will see Anderson step up to the challenge for the buyers.
High on the priority list of the busy buyers is a turnkey, but rebel Anderson takes a risk when he serves up a Mystery House requiring a little extra love and attention.
Elsewhere in the episode, Anderson takes a break from property to skipper a narrowboat in a bid to learn all about slow tourism.
Anderson was announced as a new presenter on the long-running BBC programme earlier this month, and said it was a "real honour" to join the presenting line-up.
He said: "Escape to the Country is one of the reasons I moved out of London for a quieter more rural way of life.
"I’m excited to pass on my love of the countryside to our house hunters and it’s a privilege to share such a personal experience with them and help tell their story. My first episode is in my stomping ground in The Midlands, an area that is often overlooked when it comes to country life so I can’t wait to show you some hidden gems."
Anderson joins series regulars Alistair Appleton, Briony May Williams, Denise Nurse, Ginny Buckley, Jules Hudson, Nicki Chapman, Sonali Shah and Steve Brown who all feature across the new series.
So far, the presenters have found themselves in Argyll and Bute, Devon and next Monday (1st September), Denise Nurse finds herself in Kent and helps a mother and son make a fresh start in the Garden of England.
