Stars come out to run Hotel GB

Stars come out to run Hotel GB

 

A host of Channel 4's top TV personalities including Mary Portas, Kirstie Allsopp and Gordon Ramsay will be taking over a hotel for a week next month.

The personalities will staff Hotel GB with unemployed people looking to gain experience in the hospitality industry.

Fashion presenter Gok Wan will be in charge of events at the hotel, according to the broadcaster. Details are still being finalised as to what events the Hotel GB will host, but they are likely to surprise.

Phil Spencer will be Maitre d, and it is rumoured Dragon Hilary Devey might make a guest appearence.

For the Channel 4 stars the challenge is to ensure the hotel makes as much money for employment charities as possible, and to get their trainees into full-time employment by the end of the week.

Each day, Hotel GB will open its doors to guests that need to be checked in, served food in the restaurant, and entertained in the bar. There will be breakfasts to make, rooms to clean, complaints to manage, requests for the concierge and plenty of surprises.

The show will start on Channel 4 in early October.

 

I think I will like this,anyone else going to give it a go?

On Monday evening (October 1), Channel 4 will open the doors to Hotel GB. Gok Wan is running the bar. Mary Portas is front of house. Hilary Devey is running the shop. And Kim Woodburn will be cleaning up the dirty toilets.
All the broadcaster's stars are not just working at the hotel for fun, they are also helping a team of unemployed trainees, who are looking for a big break. By the end of the week, the stars want to land their staff full-time jobs and also raise a lot of cash for charity in the process.
The most formidable member of the Hotel GB team is Gordon Ramsay. The intimidating Scotsman will be dishing out the orders as co-manager of the establishment and head chef in the kitchen.

Okay it's 'anytime' on sky+ so I've confused myself and ordered some random stuff on there to fill an already very full schedule. I'm hanging by a thread now that I've given the control of the remote to the mister to watch some stupid golf tournament from America

Sky has today rolled out its new catch-up TV section on the Sky+ electronic programme guide, as well as announced a new set top box with 2TB storage and added Zeebox functionality to its Sky+ iPad app. As announced earlier in the month, a raft of changes and improvements are being made to the Sky+ guide, which is now used by over nine million homes in the UK. The headline new feature is the arrival of catch-up television in the new On-Demand section of the EPG, replacing the previous Anytime service.
