Love Island’s Anton and Belle, Chris and Harley and Ovie and India return to TV for Supermarket Sweep special
SIX Love Island stars are reuniting to star in a special episode of Supermarket Sweep.
The brand new reboot, hosted by Rylan Clark-Neal, is set to return to ITV2 later this year and will see Anton Danyluk and Belle Hassan, Chris Taylor and Harley Brash and Ovie Soko and India Reynolds go head to head.
The three couples will battle it out in the aisles to win a cash prize for their chosen charity.
But competing against each other to win prizes is anything but foreign to the reality stars, who spent their summer competing in challenges in the Love Island villa.
Meanwhile, in July The Sun revealed that Rylan was set to front the reboot of Dale Winton’s classic show, Supermarket Sweep.
A TV insider said at the time: “It was felt that nobody else was better suited to take over the role which was synonymous with Dale for so long.
“Rylan has a personality that will allow him to conjure up all the campery of old while still making the role his own.”
Supermarket Sweep ran from 1993 to 2001, before being briefly revived in 2007.
It helped turn Dale, who died last year aged 62, into one of TV’s biggest stars.
The new 20-show series, will run from Monday to Friday in a primetime slot over four weeks later this year, will mix iconic elements from Dale’s time with new games.
Talking about his new role, Rylan commented: “It’s a dream come true to step inside this very special supermarket and host one of the most iconic series in television history.
“I am beside myself with excitement and will be going wilder in the aisles than ever before.
“Fill up your trolley, grab your bag for life and let’s go shopping!”
Pail Mortimer, Head of Digital Channels and Acquistions for ITV added: “We’re so pleased to be working with Thames on this re-booted version of the ITV classic game show.
“Funny and camp in equal mesaure, it’s a great addition to ITV2’s pre-watershed line-up.
“To have Rylan back on the channel as the perfect host is a real bonus too!”
Supermarket Sweep, will be airing on ITV2 in the Autumn.
