Loose Women favourite Katie Piper will host a new “feel-good” weekend wellbeing series set in the British countryside on ITV this spring.
The TV presenter will take a celebrity guest to an exclusive rural retreat and try out new pamper treatments and activities all focusing on health and wellbeing.
Titled Katie Piper’s Weekend Escape, the 41-year-old and her guests will also speak to an onsite nutritionist and health food expert to introduce them to new foods and drinks.
Piper commented: “Weekend Escape is a fantastic new format that I can’t wait to start filming.
“It combines so much of what I love – health, wellbeing and chatting to interesting people, exploring everything from nutrition to celebrity interviews, all in the heart of the British countryside.”
When will Katie Piper’s Weekend Escape air on ITV?
The new ITV series will air on Sunday mornings from April this year.
It will also look to place a spotlight on those who have overcome adversity or done something extraordinary for an individual or community in a segment titled, Katie’s Haircut Hero.
The chosen individual will be rewarded with a haircut from celebrity hairdresser, Michael Douglas.
Leanne Clarke, assistant commissioner daytime and entertainment at ITV, said: “Katie Piper is the perfect host for this feel-good weekend show. I can’t wait to get started and for the audience to immerse themselves into the stunning retreat from the comfort of their living rooms.”

In 2008, Piper suffered from an acid attack on the orders of her ex-boyfriend which left her with permanent scarring and severe injuries.
While still recovering from her injuries, Piper set up her own foundation to provide support for adults living with burns and scars.
In January, the TV presenter announced on an Instagram post that she would get an artificial eye following years “battling” with her health.
