World renowned dancer and head judge of Strictly Come Dancing, Shirley Ballas checks in to the B&B by the sea. Nestled on the wild coast of Northern Ireland, this nineteenth century Victorian villa is a very special place. Looked after by the host Sharon and her team, they ensure that all guests come away from the B&B with new skills and a fresh perspective.
Deborah Meaden has taken time out of her busy schedule to lend a hand to the B&B team, but she has a unique connection to the sea, making this visit even more personal for the TV star. This stay is also an experience of firsts for Deborah, who has never been to Northern Ireland before, never ridden a horse in the sea before and wait for this… never cooked a meal before. Sharon and the team hope to see if this dragon can take the heat in the kitchen.
It's the turn of Paralympian swimmer Ellie Simmonds to check in to the B&B. Ellie won our hearts competing for Team GB during four Paralympic games and although she might have recently retired from swimming, this athlete has a special connection to the water. The B&B by the sea is the perfect place for Ellie to reconnect with the water in a different way.
Television, stage and radio star Debbie McGee checks in to the B&B hoping to bring some magic to her stay. During Debbie's fifty plus years in showbiz, she's achieved a myriad of things, not least becoming the first female member of the magic circle in the 90s. But during Debbie's stay at the B&B, she experiences a number of firsts, including smoking fish and glass blowing with an unusual ingredient.
It's the turn of football legend Neil 'Razor' Ruddock to check in to the B&B. Razor retired from the beautiful game 20 years ago, but he hasn't succumbed to the quiet life just yet. Razor's been keeping himself busy regularly hosting talks and appearing on our TV screens and he brings that attitude with him to the B&B.
Actress and comedian Nina Wadia checks in to the B&B. Nina was brought up near the coast in Hong Kong and has fond recollections of her time by the water, so her stay at the B&B is a chance to reminisce on her favourite memories of the seaside. Luckily, the B&B team believe there's no better way to get to know the local area than setting sail to witness the beautiful coastline. But Nina doesn't get to relax, she's put to work bringing in the catch of the day – lobster. And all that hard graft can't go to waste, because she's taught by chef Alex how to cook a decadent lobster linguine with wild garlic to celebrate the fresh catch.
