Trading the urban jungle for rolling hills, “Countryfile” presenter Anita Rani embarks on a quest for tranquility in this Friday’s episode of “Celebrity Escape to the Country.” Airing on BBC One at 7 PM, December 27th, the episode follows Rani as she seeks a “writer’s bolthole” far from the hustle and bustle of her East London home.
After nearly a decade of presenting “Countryfile,” Rani has clearly developed a taste for the pastoral. Now, she’s ready to ditch the city and embrace the slower pace of country life. Assisting her in this rural real estate adventure is property expert Alistair Appleton, who will steer her through the scenic landscapes of the Kent and Sussex coastlines.
Adding a touch of design flair to the proceedings is Rani’s friend and interior designer, Shaun Clarkson. Because even a rustic retreat needs a good throw pillow or two. And, because no escape to the country is complete without a full immersion experience, Rani will be taking a bracing dip in the sea and trying her hand at pottery. Consider it a crash course in rural living.
So, join Anita Rani this Friday at 7 PM on BBC One as she searches for her ideal writing haven. It’s a chance to vicariously experience the allure of the countryside, all from the comfort of your own (hopefully not too cramped) city dwelling.
“Celebrity Escape to the Country” airs Friday, December 27, 2024, at 7 PM on BBC One.
