Discovery signs Holly Valance, Brix Smith-Start and Paul Hartnett to front new fashion-focussed lifestyle series

Ultimate Shopper premieres on Discovery Real Time this winter

  • Holly Valance, Brix Smith-Start and Paul Hartnett to judge the ultimate shopping competition in brand new seven-part series for Discovery Real Time;
  • Four fashionistas go head-to-head in a series of style-based challenges in each episode of Ultimate Shopper;
  • Ultimate Shopper is produced for Discovery Networks International by betty

Discovery announces today that Holly Valance, Brix Smith Start and Paul Hartnett have been signed to front brand new 7-part series Ultimate Shopper to air on Discovery Real Time in the UK this winter, and across Discovery Networks International.

Ultimate Shopper is a shopaholic’s dream, each week letting loose four self-proclaimed fashionistas in their ultimate store. Here they must outdo their opponents in a series of three style-based challenges set and judged by our panel of experts: actress, singer and modern pop culture icon Holly Valance, fashion guru Brix Smith-Start (Gok’s Fashion Fix), and fashion photographer and writer, Paul Hartnett, along with a different guest judge each week. Whether it is crafting the perfect look for a first date, or donning the right outfit for a second job interview, the four top shoppers must dress to impress the judges who will be assessing them on their chic creativity and quick-thinking fashion sense.

Holly said: “I am thrilled to work with Discovery on this fresh and fun new idea from Betty TV. I’m passionate about fashion and this show will bring some great tips and guides to the viewer whilst adding a human story element.”

 

 

Ultimate Shopper is produced for DNI by betty, the UK production house acquired by Discovery Communications in 2011. The series will air on Discovery Real Time in the UK this autumn and on TLC internationally – over 150 markets across Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.

My Knight in polyester armour!

What a week it has been! Artem injured. My place in the comp unknown. Things got pretty crazy in a matter of hours. But then my knight in polyester armour rode in to save the day! Brendan Cole did Artem and myself the honour of training and performing my Rumba on Strictly this week and we can’t thank him enough! Just when his gorgeous wife Zoe thought she got her hubby back too! Artem was choreographing up a storm, albeit from a comfy chair, and as usual prepped a wonderful routine! Strictly peaked at 11.8 million viewers!! It’s huge!! Thank you for all your support this week! It was crazy! But we turned a tricky situation good, and the show went on!!

Get well Art, and get back to spinning me round the floor soon! X”



It’s how we roll!

Here’s a clue to this weeks VT!! It was UNBELIEVABLE! Tune in Sat night and see how we roll! (Clue) x

A visit to Number 10

Had my first and very exciting trip to No.10 Downing St last night in support of The Children’s Trust Tadworth. So many amazing doctors that do the most incredible work with kids. I was in awe! X AND I bumped into Strictly Beauty Anita!! Lovely surprise! I also met the house Cat, who wasn’t interested in moving out of the entrance to No.10 for anyone! Loved him!

My film Surviving Georgia has released without me in Oz!

So sad I couldn’t make our premiere due to filming Strictly. I hear it was a packed house and reviews have been great!! It was truly my fave acting piece to make yet and I hope this little Aussie gem goes far!! Take the family and go and see for yourself! Get behind Aussie cinema! Xxx

 

Funniest day at training!

Funniest day at training!! Art and I had such a laugh! Getting soooo excited about the first show!! Feeling pretty ok with the routine, polishing for the rest of the week! Then the madness begins!…
