Former Strictly star’s debut Escape to the Country episode finally gets air date confirmed

Get ready, fellow film enthusiasts! In just under two weeks, I’ll be stepping into the shoes of a property guide for the first time on Escape to the Country. After strutting my stuff on Strictly Come Dancing, I’m now helping a lovely couple from Birmingham find their dream home. Stay tuned for this exciting journey!

On Monday, September 8th, you can catch the fourth episode of the series entitled “The Midlands” on both BBC One and iPlayer at 3 PM. This installment will feature Anderson taking on a new challenge as a buyer.

Among my top concerns as a bustling purchaser lies the acquisition of a ready-to-go property, yet daringly, the intriguing Anderson offers a Mystery Home – one that requires a touch more affection and care.

In another part of the same episode, Anderson temporarily abandons real estate work to navigate a canal boat, aiming to discover more about leisurely travel.

Earlier this month, it was revealed that Anderson has been appointed as a fresh host for the long-standing BBC program. He expressed his delight, referring to the opportunity as a genuine privilege to be part of the show’s presenting team.

He mentioned that moving out of London and embracing a quieter, rural lifestyle was partly inspired by his fondness for the show “Escape to the Country.

I’m thrilled to share my passion for rural living with our home-seekers, and consider it a great honor to be part of their journey and help write their story. In my debut episode, I take them through my beloved Midlands region – an area that is sometimes undervalued in terms of country life. I can’t wait to introduce you to some hidden treasures in this region!

Anderson is now part of the main cast along with Alistair Appleton, Briony May Williams, Denise Nurse, Ginny Buckley, Jules Hudson, Nicki Chapman, Sonali Shah, and Steve Brown, all of whom are prominently featured throughout the new season.

To date, the presenters have journeyed to Argyll and Bute, Devon, and on the upcoming September 1st, Denise Nurse will be in Kent, assisting a mother and son as they embark on a new beginning in the picturesque region known as the Garden of England.

Escape to the Country continues on Monday 1st September at 3pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
