Celebrity Coach Trip



One coach, one legendary tour guide, a two-week expedition across Europe, and some very special guests to keep viewers entertained along the way - Celebrity Coach Trip has arrived and is ready to depart on a brand new adventure.

After the success of previous series - series 5 is still currently on air - Head of Daytime, Helen Warner, has commissioned 12 Yard to produce a celebrity version of the popular daytime show.

Filmed across two weeks, Celebrity Coach Trip will take on the same format as the original series with 5 famous pairings all attempting to stay on board the legendary tour bus for as long as possible. Some won't last the course and will be sent home, to be replaced by a new pair, before the most popular couple is voted for by the group to receive a £1000 prize for charity.

The Coach has already set off having started in Prague, and will be heading into Germany before many mystery destinations beyond. There should be plenty of laughs along the way as planned activities include sausage making, a ballet lesson, Soviet tank riding and a visit to a beer spa. And with the brilliant Brendan Sheerin at the helm to keep order and steer the famous bunch, Celebrity Coach Trip is set to be the most entertaining... and bitchy yet.

The First 5 Couples

The Chuckle Brothers
Best known for their work on Chuckle Vision, brothers Barry and Paul can't go far without hearing their well-known catchphrases 'to me, to you' and 'oh dear, oh dear' relayed back to them. Hailing from the northern town of Rotherham, both have been made honorary presidents of the Rotherham United football club, and can regularly be seen throughout the year on the UK stage. Their slapstick humour may have been loved by the British public, but how well will it go down on the Coach?

Party Girls Bianca Gascoigne and Imogen Thomas
Former reality star Imogen and glamour model Bianca know each other through the London party scene. Not shy of the cameras, both have previously appeared in well-known TV shows; Imogen appeared in Big Brother series 7 and Bianca won ITV's former reality show Love Island. Imogen says she's scared of heights, while Bianca claims to be up for anything and is secretively competitive. Will these two glamorous girls have the other celebrity Coach Trippers eating out of their hands?

East-End Boys Ricky Groves and Alex Ferns
These two former Walford residents are about to swap life on Albert Square for life on the most famous Coach on television. Best known for playing unlucky-in-love Garry Hobbs and villain Trevor Morgan on Eastenders, both have left their characters behind and are now working on other projects - including a stint in the panto Aladdin this Christmas where they'll both be playing the same role but at different theatres! They say they will be like the naughty school boys on the back of the school bus, so let's see if their cheeky shenanigans go down well with the other celebrities.

Friends Carol Harrison and Ingrid Tarrant
Carol and Ingrid first met 20 years ago at a ball organised by OK magazine, and have been good friends ever since. Carol famously played the mother of Tiffany in Eastenders who had an affair with her son-in-law Grant Mitchell, while Ingrid is best known for being the former wife of Chris Tarrant. These two ladies aren't just about showbiz parties however - they've both travelled across Europe together in the past and Ingrid has been to 107 countries. With global knowledge like that, they're bound to give tour guide Brendan a run for his money!

Posh Chaps Raphael 'Raef' Bjayou and Benjamin Duncan
Friends Raef and Ben both found fame through their various television appearances; from The Apprentice and Big Brother to Celebrity Come Dine with Me and Ladette to Lady. Both are known for being very posh and foppish - Ben is a staunch supporter of the Conservative party, while Raef describes his interests as being international travel, French and Russian literature... and Cognac. Ben admits he's prone to lying as it 'makes life more interesting', but will his and Raef's eccentricities be accepted or rejected by the other contestants?

If you are not watching this show you are missing out on the best series of Coach Trip...
Ben always makes me nervous watching him speak - he talks and acts like he is about to be rumbled as a fake.

I am watching it. I keep seeing Ben with his arm round Bianca, so wonder if anything is going on there?

I doubt it Christine but I do think she has the kind of look he likes so he will flirt with her making sure she gives him the female contact he needs.

Loving this series .... thou Im sure Im going to like some of the replacements comming

I love Couch Trip and the Celeb one is a treat.
Delighted to see the back of Imogen and Bianca, I think Imogen has the most boring voice known to man
DVD and Tony Blackburn will not last long either if a new passenger called Cheryl Baker
has anything to do with it.

I had to find out why Chezza really hated DVD


DVD formed a rival group with the name Bucks fizz

He played on Mike Nolan who had real issues still after his near death coma after the coach crash.

DVD tried to claim the rights to Bucks Fizzs name and recorded a single and an album under the name.

DVD was sued by Nolan for money he was owed and won but DVD declared himself bankrupt and Nolan didnt get a penny.

Yeah I can see why she hates him
Plus I remember DVD dumoing his GF line on air while on the wright show .. nice chap

Yeah I never could stand Imogen, on BB she just hooked upo with the alpha tool who then got bpooted very early and spent the rest of the show not really bothering to do anthing.. the milk task summed her up, she went to bed for 6 hours then came out and let all the milk out in an hour not caring if she was sussed she just wanted to go back to bed.

Ah, I see why she hates him now as well. Thanks for researching that!

Its a shame they are doing straight red cards, it meant Chezza and Roders got the boot and who are they sendig to replace them... the cheeckie girls ,, have mercy please channel 4

But despite that this is still the best coach trip ever

From me to you Stinky - it was indeed the best coach trip so far.
The Chuckle brothers won as I am sure you know, and I was happy that Ingrid,Carol, Ricky and Alex were there at the final day.
