Jules Hudson has shared some big career news with his fans - and they rushed to show their support for the Escape to the Country presenter
Escape to the Country presenter Jules Hudson has been flooded with support as he took to social media to share some significant career developments.
‌
The beloved BBC host announced on Instagram that he's embarking on an exciting new venture, starring in Channel 5's upcoming series Coastal Adventures alongside Helen Skelton and JB Gill, reports the Express.
‌
The show kicked off on 15th July, with viewers already able to stream the first episode. Jules shared a sneak peek trailer on his Instagram, writing: "Ahoy there! ! For much of this year, myself and my wonderful chums Helen Skelton and JB Gill have been out and about exploring our magical coastlines for our BRAND NEW 8-part series, Coastal Adventures with Helen, Jules and JB.
‌
"Starts [July 15] at 8pm on @channel5_tv. We'd love love love you to join us and share our maritime mischief!"
The announcement was met with enthusiasm from fans in the comments section, with one expressing: "Aww, one of my dreams Jules! Visit UK and the amazing countryside and the coastlines. I will try to watch it here in Australia."
‌
Another fan commented: "Brilliant... really looking forward to it." A third inquired: "Is this on BritBox? We're in Michigan and watch every Escape - but would love to catch your coastline show. Please tell us how!"
Helen also spread the word on her own Instagram, posting: "Filmed a new series earlier this year... It's a celebration of the British coastline and hopefully will give you some ideas of places to explore close to home.
"Grateful to be working with such a top time. It's on [July 15] 8pm, expect some coastal spam!"
‌
The opening episode witnesses Helen plunging 4,500 feet down Britain's most profound mine, whilst JB discovers the peculiar splendour of Dungeness. Meanwhile, Jules makes his way to Devon to embark from Salcombe.
It appears as though the TV star is not slowing down any time soon as he also continues to film for Escape to the Country.
‌
He recently told his followers that he would be househunting somewhere the show had never been to before.
"Well folks, I'm shooting another episode of Escape to the Country this week, but I am SO excited to be somewhere the show has never ever been before," he said.
‌
"If you look at that coastline behind me you could be forgiven for thinking you were perhaps in Cornwall or North Devon or even Pembrokeshire, but here's the rub.
"Look over there, that is Port Erin, and if you know your geography of the British Isles, hopefully, that means you will appreciate we are on the Isle of Man.
"I've never been here before, nor has Escape to the Country, but we are relishing the opportunity to explore somewhere which certainly, for me and for many of us, is new."
You can watch Coastal Adventures on Channel 5 and Escape to the Country is also available to stream on BBC iPlayer
