KYM Marsh has revealed what’s in store on her brand new travel series with Richard Arnold.
The Morning Live presenter and former Coronation Street star has signed up to host the new weekend programme alongside GMB star Richard, 55.
Over eight episodes, Kym and Richard will guide viewers thrown some of Channel 5’s biggest stars’ trips to date.
Adventures with Jane McDonald, Susan Calman, Nick Knowles, Alex
Polizzi as well as George and Larry Lamb will all feature in the 90-minute instalments.
Speaking about landing the hosting gig, Kym admitted to The Sun’s TV Mag she’s not as well travelled as her co-host.
The 48-year-old explained: “I have experienced many different types of holidays I think over the years.
“I’m from quite a big family and I did a lot of family holidays as a child. Some of it was camping in the UK, some of it was my dad pulling a caravan all the way to Spain, you know.
“And then equally I’ve taken away my children as they’ve got older and we’ve experienced a lot of different things and so I feel like it’s very difficult to pinpoint a particular place.”
Describing the format, Kym said: “It’s a good mix of fun and information. Because it’s, you know, it is very informative, but it’s such a laugh as well.
“It’s really quite uplifting, I think, especially like in January, when you’re just coming out of winter, and you’re looking at all these beautiful places to go, whether that’s in the UK, or whether it’s abroad and whether it’s a family holiday, or a cruise, or whatever that is it pulls you out of that winter feeling here.
“Because, you know, it’s been pretty cold recently, hasn’t it? It’s a nice, warm, friendly show.”

During the series Jane McDonald will appear from her very own infinity pool as the singer stripped off for breakfast.
It’s safe to say for soap star Kym, she isn’t fancying herself as the next queen of the cruises.
She joked: “I found that sort of slightly unsettling, because I’m not sure I’d want to be in my budgies, or in a two-piece, eating breakfast no matter what you surround me with.
“You know, I’d rather sit with it on my lap.”
